Grosman returns to Tom Walters Racing for Sophmore Spin

 Miami-based Racer Looks Forward to Great Second Year at Sunset Speedway

TORONTO, ON - (FEBRUARY 25th, 2011) After a stellar rookie year, Sean Grosman announced he will return to the Late Model Championship Series at Sunset Raceway Series in 2011, and will continue to drive the #29 car for Tom Walters Racing.

 The only rookie to win a Late Model feature race during the 2010 season, Miami Florida's Grosman is eager to build on the momentum of his breakout first year.

 "I had some options out there, but after teaming with Tom Walters in 2010, and seeing how professional his operation is, and the chemistry we had as a team, I felt that I had the best chance of picking up where I left off by coming back."

 "The car was great, and Tom has assured me he'll be completely overhauling it for 2011. So needless to say, I'm very excited to see where an even improved #29 SMG Motorsports, Flagship Property Ventures, Rylex Glass and Mirror, Landing Strip, For Your Eyes Only car takes me."

 After finishing the 2010 series in 12th place overall, and 2nd among rookies, Grosman has much loftier aspirations for 2011.

 "This is a very very VERY competitive series, and I really respect the other drivers, so I know I have my work cut out for me, but we'd really like to be in the winners' circle at least twice this year, and break into the top seven."

 While Grosman turned heads during his rookie season, his success is fuelled in part by the close participation of his family, namely his wife Candace, and sons Tyler, Jesse, and Kyle.

 "Its great having not only Sean back behind the wheel of the #29 late model with me, but also to have his delightful family back at the track in 2011," said Walters.  

 "We're looking forward to great things from Sean this year."

 According to Grosman, that family component was, and always will be, crucial to his success behind the wheel.

 "I have to travel a long way from Florida and if Tom and the first class staff and volunteers at Sunset didn't make my family feel so welcome, and such a big part of my team, it really wouldn't have been worth it for me."

$50,000 Sunset Speedway Shootout

 (NOV. 14, 2010 // BARRIE, ON) – During Sunset Speedway’s year-end banquet, held Saturday, Nov. 13 at Barrie, Ontario’s Holiday Inn, co-promoter Mark Dilley announced the creation of a unique and very lucrative new awards system for the Innisfil, Ontario stock car oval.

Starting in 2011, competitors in Sunset’s three weekly racing divisions – the Limited Late Models, Super Stocks and Mini Stocks – are eligible for unprecedented cash awards through the track’s new Sunset Speedway $50,000 Shootout.

In addition to the weekly championships, Sunset Speedway will play host to five special ‘Invitational’ events throughout 2011. Those events – open to racers from all around the province – will make up a Sunset-based mini series (for each of the three divisions), each with its own championship points fund.

If a competitor wins the Sunset Speedway weekly points championship – as well as the five-race Invitational Series championship – that racer will receive a Sunset Speedway Shootout cash bonus that will boost their overall winnings significantly. For example, in the case of the Limited Late Models, Sunset’s season-long weekly racing champion will receive $13,000. If that person also takes the Invitational Series crown, their earnings for that title and the Sunset Speedway Shootout Bonus will increase their total winnings to a stunning $18,000.

The Super Stock year-end track champion will receive $3,500 with an Invitational Series / Bonus total potential of $6,000, while the top weekly points-getter for the Mini Stocks will pocket $2,500 and a chance to win a total of $4,000 if they secure that class’s Invitational Series crown and the Sunset Shootout Bonus that goes with it.

“It’s big money,” said Dilley. “It’s the biggest money I’ve ever seen offered by a weekly short track. Taking into account the generous weekly racing points structures, the Invitational Series payouts and the Shootout Bonus, there is the potential for us to pay out a total of $50,000.”
Dilley continued, “The likelihood is very high that some of our racers will be collecting a lot of money. If guys like Tom Walters (Ltd. LM) and Kyle Donaldson (Super Stocks) repeat what they did in 2010 – both winning the weekly points and also the McColl and Stefko Series (respectively), Tom would have won $18,000 and Kyle would have won $6,000. It’s definitely a strong possibility. In terms of the racing at Sunset next summer, I’m sure this money will get the attention of a lot of top racers. It should be fun.”

The McColl and Stefko Series were multi-track tours and if they return in 2011 (TBD), Dilley foresees those events being ‘dual purpose’ races, counting toward both the Sunset Speedway $50,000 Shootout Invitational Series championships, as well as the McColl / Stefko titles.

Dilley went on to announce that Sunset Speedway will host a total of 10 ‘specials’ in 2011, including three OSCAAR races, two Late Model ‘Opens’ and five Sunset Invitationals as part of the Shootout Series.

For more information about Sunset Speedway please visit www.sunsetspeedway.ca. Details on the $50,000.00 Shootout will be released at a drivers meeting on Friday Dec. 3, 8 p.m. at the Stroud Arena.
