The street stock class is very popular and we are seeing more big lap events each year and the importance and trust in working together with all tracks is what makes it work for this event on PEI.” Discover KIA General Manager/Dealer Partner Kent MacLeod shared his thoughts on the event. “We were so encouraged by the wonderful reception from the racing community to the inaugural Maritime Street Stock Showdown that we just had to make sure we returned for year two. Our entire team is tremendously excited for and quite honoured by the opportunity to be a part of another incredible event this June at Oyster Bed Speedway.” Event promoters are hoping to add Bandoleros to the event this year, asking that interested teams contact them to indicate their level of interest.
