OSCAAR's 2006 season is winding down and the excitement is building as 
the Outlaw Super Late Models head to Ontario's biggest stock car event 
of the year, the 14th Annual Autumn Colours Classic at Peterborough 
Speedway <http://peterboroughspeedway.com/>, this weekend, October 6th, 
7th and 8th!

John Fletcher will make his 200th stock car start and in doing so may 
lock up the 2006 OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Series Title with a 
finish of 21st or better. After back to back runner up spots for the 
OSCAAR Championship, Team JNE is now only a start away from capturing 
their first OSCAAR Title. Marking this milestone start will also be the 
goal to capture John's 40th win as well, 199 starts along with 39 wins 
and a title on the line, there would not be a better race track to do it 
then Peterborough Speedway, the very track John started his first Super 
Late Model event.

Peterborough Speedway seems to mark many firsts for OSCAAR competitors. 
At OSCAAR's most recent visit to Peterborough Speedway on September 
16th, TJ Woolsey captured his first OSCAAR feature win, as he claimed 
victory in the prestigious 8th Annual Don Biederman Memorial Event. You 
can be sure that TJ is pumped and ready to challenge Fletcher for the 
Autumn Colours Classic Victory.

With the 2006 season nearly to an end, there are some serious point 
battles developing, and fans can be assured that the racing will be fast 
and furious as teams fight for their bragging rights amongst the top 
ten. A small margin of 85 points separates Glenn Watson, Phil Bullen and 
Drew Spicer. All three teams have had a season to be proud of, creating 
some thrilling outlaw action since the start of the 2006 season. Watson, 
Bullen and Spicer have yet to achieve a feature win in 2006, but don't 
be surprised if they are victorious on Sunday afternoon!

A very slim spread of 14 points exists between Lloyd Ritchie, Ken 
Hayward, Ed Bowlby and Roy Passer. Who can forget that Lloyd Ritchie 
lead the first 69 laps of the Don Biederman Memorial Event on Sept. 
16th. This team would love nothing better than to find themselves in 
victory for their first time ever at Peterborough Speedway!

No matter how you cut it, this weekend's feature event at the Autumn 
Colours Classic is sure to provide non-stop excitement throughout the 
entire Outlaw Super Late Model field of competitors. With many teams yet 
to claim their place amongst the 2006 Championship Point Standings, the 
stakes have never been higher. The competition has been tight and 
intense this season, and the right to claim your spot in the top ten 
will be considered quite an accomplishment!

Fans won't want to miss this weekend's action at Peterborough Speedway! 
Qualifying heats are set for Saturday, with the 50 lap feature event 
scheduled for Sunday. So why not take a drive to Peterborough, catch the 
fall colours and some amazing Outlaw Super Late Model racing action!

NASCAR BUSCH SERIES COMING TO CANADA

It was announced Monday, that NASCAR have agreed to add a NASCAR Busch 
Series race at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve August 4th 2007. NASCAR CEO 
Brian France confirmed the date with local promoters at a news 
conference. "It's a great setting, well-organized, and we're excited to 
be here next August," said France. "Getting everything right on both 
ends was difficult, but we got the right outcome." The Busch Series is 
step below the top-ranked Nextel Cup series it will race on the 
4.361-kilometre road track that plays host to the Canadian Grand Prix 
Formula One event.

With all that said, Team JNE Consulting intends to field a car for this 
event with the pending 2006 OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model with John 
Fletcher in the driver's seat. The inaugural event will present a 
stellar list of teams and drivers that may include fellow Canadians Ron 
Fellows, Patrick Carpentier and Paul Tracy. "Our intention is to attempt 
to qualify with some minor backing from our current list of sponsors, 
but to take a real shot of qualifying for the event with strong 
equipment it will take a primary sponsor to come on board" Team 
Spokesman Bill Snowdon commented. "We have a base of a great program for 
this we have been working towards this Busch Series race for a while and 
have been active in the sponsor hunt".

Team JNE Consulting has been running primarily in the OSCAAR Series for 
the past three years. With a run of 21st or better this Sunday team JNE 
Consulting could lock in the championship.
