Brighton, Ontario – Brighton Speedway is excited to reveal the format and purse for the 12th annual PartSource Applefest Shootout Weekend presented by Image Factor Motorsports Designs, Lucas Oil, Coca-Cola, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Racing Tire and Cool 100 on September 23 and 24.

The two-day event features the $5000-to-win PartSource Applefest Shootout 100 for the 358 Modifieds and $6000-to-win Great Crate Race for the Go Nuclear Late Model Series as well as two $1000-to-win DIRTcar Sportsman races.

The busy weekend begins on Friday, September 23 with a 30-lap DIRTcar Sportsman invitational shootout and 30-lap, $1200-to-win Pro Late Model invitational. The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club will also make its second appearance of the 2016 season. The Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks, Bill’s Johns Comp 4s and Quinte Septic Stingers are included on the schedule.

Saturday’s racing features one of the highest paying 358 Modified races in the Northeast with $5000 on the line for the 100-lap Applefest Shootout feature winner. The biggest payday of the season is also on the line for the Go Nuclear Late Model Series with $6000 up for grabs in the sixth annual Excel Tower Service Great Crate Race presented by Humber Nurseries.

The top-three drivers in points from DIRTcar 358 Modified weekly tracks (Brockville, Can-Am, Cornwall, Drummond, Granby, Merrittville, Mohawk and Ransomville) are guaranteed starters in the 100-lap main event. Drivers will qualify for the event through standard group time trials and heat races with provisional starting spots used only if necessary. Point standings will not affect a driver’s starting position, except to determine the starting order between two or more provisional drivers.

The Super DIRTcar Series Sportsman tour joins Saturday’s program for a 35-lap, $1000-to-win event. The Duel on the Dirt Pro Stock Series championship will be decided Saturday in a 50-lap race with $1000 awarded to the winner.
