Brad Seng leads all active drivers with three previous series wins in Jamestown. Dustin Strand's win last August moved him into a tie with Mike Balcaen and Curt Gelling, the trio having scored two previous series wins at the Speedway. In the past 20 series events in Jamestown, the average car count is just under 33, with the most cars entering a series race at the speedway being 42 on June 23, 2007. There were 23 cars in attendance last August. The series lost an event at the Speedway last June as a heavy Thunderstorm soaked the area late in the day at five o'clock. Action begins at seven o'clock Saturday night.

Shane Edginton won the season opener at the Red River Co-Op Speedway in Winnipeg Monday night.
