2023 Schedule Announced for East Coast International Pro Stock Tour

HALIFAX, NS (December 29, 2022) – Management for the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour is thrilled to announce the 2023 schedule. The 2023 season will feature 11 events in five Maritime markets. Race sponsors and event times will be announced as the season draws nearer.  

Scotia Speedworld, near Halifax, will host four events including the season opener on May 20. The Tour heads back to Scotia Speedworld for a return engagement on Saturday, June 24. The Summer Clash 250 will take place on Saturday, August 12 with the 200-lap season finale taking place on Saturday, September 23.

Riverside International Speedway (James River) will also host four events. The first stop is set for June 10. The second is July 15 for what many consider the top stock car race in Canada – the IWK 250 Presented by Steve Lewis. The series has been added to the Summer Sizzler held the third weekend in August since 2007, this year on August 19. On September 9, the series will be at Riverside for round 10 of 11 in the 2023 championship chase.

The remaining three races will be held at tracks in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, most notably a return to Speedway 660 (Geary, NB) on May 27 – the first stop at the facility for the Pro Stock Tour since 2017. Petty International Speedway (River Glade, NB) will host the series on July 22, and on the following weekend, on July 29, they’ll be at Oyster Bed Speedway (Oyster Bed Bridge, PE).

Since its formation in 2001, the Maritime Pro Stock Tour has been a constant force in stock car racing and is known throughout North America as producing top talents. Since 2007, series racers have competed against NASCAR champions and legends in the IWK 250 – beating them on all but two occasions. In 2022, Cole Butcher won the iconic Oxford 250 in Maine, and in 2014, Donald Chisholm won a race in Canada’s only national touring series, the NASCAR Pinty’s Series. All testimonials showing the talent within the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour rank among the best, anywhere.

Excitement is building for the series’ 23rd season with increased prize money already announced along with rules revisions – both sure to attract more competitors from near and far – and provide added excitement for fans in the stands.
