December 2 nd , 2022
London, ON – Since 2015, the APC United Late Model Series has been a staple in the Ontario short track
racing scene, that will continue once again in 2023, with a big twist. Fans will once again be able to
spend their summer long weekends with the series at their favourite track, but for the first time since
the series inception, the series will hold events with more than 100 laps. This has been longed by drivers
and fans alike, and the series has listened. There will continue to be the traditional 100 lap events
throughout the schedule, with three marquee events increasing from the traditional 100 lap length
distance. Two events will be 150 laps (Sunset and Sauble), and the championship race will move to a
200-lap event at Delaware Speedway.
Luke Ramsay, the President of the United Racing Series mentioned, “adding three extra lap races along
with the six 100 lap events will be exciting for our fans and competitors. We feel it’s a great time to
continue to evolve as a Series as long as it makes sense for all involved and these events will add
different strategies for everyone involved and it will also give our fans a little variety, we can’t wait to
get going”.
The series will kick-off on its familiar Victoria Day long weekend, Saturday May 20 th , at Sunset Speedway,
located just outside Barrie, Ontario. Fans, drivers, and sponsors alike will be able to flock to the
speedway campground for this long weekend event and the official start of summer in Ontario. This will
be the first of the three marquee events, being the first ever race to be over 100 laps, with the opening
Sunset event being 150 laps.
After Sunset, the series goes on a summer stretch of four 100 lap events beginning with Millgrove
