Northern Super Series coming to Emo

The Borderland Racing Association proudly presents the Northern Super Stock Touring Series Super Stock Special set for Saturday, July 19. For what will most likely be the last time, WISSOTA Super Stocks will be making their way to the Emo Speedway in full fashion.
Last season, a total of fifteen Super Stocks from Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, and throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin attended the first Northern Super Stock Series stop at Emo Speedway.
Last year’s event was exciting as a final lap pass was attempted but, #20 Kevin Penner of Blumenort, Manitoba outlasted #77 Mike McCaughan of Winnipeg by mere inches.
This weekend is the third race of the Northern Super Stock Touring Series. The first race was held on May 18 at Bemidji Speedway with the attendance of 23 cars. Andy Davey was the big winner. Race two was at Greenbush Race Park on June 7 with last year’s third place series driver Rod Peterson taking the win.
Included with the WISSOTA Super Stocks is the full-fledged weekly program of Street Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, and WISSOTA Modifieds. The weekly classes have been extremely exciting this season. The addition of Super Stocks will definitely add to the excitement of the night.
Anthony Leek, president of the Borderland Racing Association, is very excited about the series special event.
“We are very lucky to have the opportunity once again to show off just how great the Emo racing facility is, and how great the town itself is,” he remarked. “We want to be able to give the fans in this district and around the region something back for all their support. Becoming an important stop on the series will bring a wonderful event to the community.”
Supporters of this event include Veert Landscaping Inc., Tom Veert Contracting, Nor-Fab Transportation, Ed’s Plumbing & Heating, Green’s Barbeque Bar, Barwick Service, Glen Jackson, J&P Gagnon, Albert Leek, Wiseguys On Campus, Atek Parts & Service, Ron’s Autobody, Vern Thompson, Darren Blattner, and Shooter’s Billiards.
The event will be more than just a treat for the fans and drivers who come week in and week out at the track.
“We want to be able to show new people who have never been here to see how great dirt track racing really is,” said Leek. “This is a great chance to check it out and see the tight competition at the local level and at the regional level.”
Bringing people together to see the races every Saturday has always been an integral part of the Borderland Racing Association’s mission.
“We want to provide great family entertainment at a reasonable cost and put on a great show every time. This event gives everyone a chance to see something different, while at the same time, gives local drivers a chance to show off to the crowd,” said Leek.
