EDMONTON, AB – Officials at Castrol Raceway have responded to requests from Sprint and Stock Car competitors and will now be holding a test and tune on their 3/8mile oval track. The last minute addition to the 2017 schedule comes on the heels of test and tune events the past two weekends at both Central Alberta Raceways in Rimbey and Drayton Valley Speedway. The Edmonton, Alberta track will be holding their oval test and tune on Saturday, May 13th starting at 1pm. Castrol Raceway is celebrating its 26th consecutive year of oval racing in 2017.

Meanwhile another Alberta racetrack is removing race dates from its schedule. Sangudo Speedway is delaying its season opener by two months thanks in part to facility renovations that are taking longer than expected. For only the second time since 1991 (2008 & 2017), the Sangudo, Alberta track will not be running any races on the May long weekend. The season opening delay (May 20th/21st) also means the June 24th/25th race dates at Sangudo Speedway are cancelled as well. Barring any further complications, Sangudo Speedway will host its first race of the 2017 season on July 15th and 16th. At this point there are no indication weather Central Alberta Raceways or Drayton Valley Speedway will claim the cancelled Sangudo Speedway race dates. A tentative plan by Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series officials to schedule a two-day race weekend at Sangudo Speedway in June has now been scrapped.

The NPP Late Model Series begins its 17th consecutive season of race action May 26th and 27th at Central Alberta Raceways.
