They’ll be joined by the NAPA Sportsman Series in the Henry’s AUTOPRO 75. The Toromont Cat 150 will see local favourite Donald Chisholm in the popular Cat Car for Kids as the event will be a fundraiser for the IWK Foundation, in lieu of the IWK 250 originally scheduled for this date. “We’re happy to be able to do a smaller event next Saturday,” said Joan Roué, general manager of Riverside International Speedway. “We are excited to have an opportunity this year to raise valuable funds and awareness for the IWK Foundation. Many thanks to Toromont Cat for their continued long-time support of Riverside and the IWK Foundation.” The Toromont Cat 150 will offer drivers the chance for extra winnings with a Lap Leader Bonus of $25/lap, adding over $3,000.00 to the purse posted by the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour.
