CASCAR: Buck wins pole for Saturday's Miller Lite 100 at the Molson Indy Toronto

17 July 1999


TORONTO, ON - Robin Buck put his road racing experience to good use on
Friday as the CASCAR Castrol Super Series made its first ever appearance on
the streets of Toronto. The Oakville, ON resident posted the quickest time
during the Friday afternoon qualifying session to win the pole for
Saturday's Miller Lite 100.

	A total of 35 CASCAR Late Model stock cars took part in the half hour
timed session. All will be on the grid for the 100 km (37 lap) feature
which starts at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.

	Buck's UAP/NAPA Pontiac Grand Prix earned the pole with a lap of 1 minute,
22.224 seconds, at an average speed of 121.278 km around the 11 turn street
circuit on the grounds of Toronto's Exhibition Place. The former road racer
has extensive experience at the track, but has never won there. He is also
looking for his first CASCAR Castrol Super Series feature win and is hoping
that he will kill two birds with one stone on Saturday.

	Lining up second for the Miller Lite 100 will be stock car racer Bill
Rowse Jr. of Corunna, ON. Rowse's Collision World Chevrolet Monte Carlo was
less than half a second behind Buck following qualifying. Edmonton's Kevin
Dowler - another former road racer - was third fastest in his Ford Quality
Care Taurus.
