For the first time in what feels like a long time, race fans can witness some of Canada’s top stock car racers compete at Area 27 on July 8 and 10.

Following a strict COVID-19 safety protocol, race fans will be allowed onto the grounds to witness some of Canada’s top stock car racers compete in this special event weekend.
“We’ve taken a lot of care in crafting a plan together for the Superseal Twin 200s and the Festival of Speed that will allow us to welcome racing fans to see a great weekend of action,” said Avion Motorsports general manager Al Lebert. “The talented drivers that have signed on to race this year and the special guests are going to make for an awesome festival whether you’re at the track or watching the live stream.”
Area 27 is a great setting featuring several first-rate viewing areas to watch drivers like Alex Tagliani, Andrew Ranger, Noel Dowler, Scott Hargrove, and Jason White as they join other series regulars like Sean McIntosh, Trevor and Ryley Seibert and more battle wheel to wheel in the first two races of the season.
