With Covid-19 our track in PEI was not able to operate this year. I took it as a challenge to do something to help out our drivers and it grew from there, now helping other drivers in the region”. The PEI drivers will receive free bridge passes to travel to the race. As well Nicholls was able to raise money for the purse through sponsorship that Wile matched dollar for dollar. “I made it into a 24-hour challenge and it faired out very well,” said Nicholls. “We have 10 sponsors from PEI that stepped up to assist with getting the drivers to Shediac, including Winsloe Irving, Taylor Built Rentals, Kevin Quinn Remax Realtor, Gass’s General Store, Dalziel’s Collision Center, Oyster Bed Esso, and others.” The purse pays through 10th-place with a guaranteed $125.00 to start.
