Saturday is the biggest day of the year at Speedway Miramichi! The headlining day of The Very Best Fall Shootout presented by Towne Auto Group kicks off with stock car racing including the 6th Annual Towne Ford Street Stock 100! The biggest purse to date for this event is projected, with a big field of drivers anticipated. This race serves as the final Speedway Miramichi Street Stock points race, and the final round of the Maritime Street Stock Series, meaning two champions will be crowned as part of this race which is anticipated to attract over 20 of the best drivers in the region.


Two more champions will be crowned during the stock car portion – the 50-lap Mini Stock race which will see the best of the best enter will serve as the points finale for the Mini Stock division. The Atlantic Modified Tour will also crown their Speedway Miramichi champion during their 35-lap feature, which will serve as the ninth of eleven races on the 2022 tour.


Following stock car racing will be the Towne Chrysler Demolition Blowout – the championship Demolition for the season! A wild and crazy season of Demolition competition wraps up with this show, and it is sure to be intense! It’s been another season of big car counts and big prizes, and we have aimed to save “The Very Best” for last. The crowning of a new champion is always memorable, and this is sure to be a Demolition to remember!
