Fondations 4 Saisons Presents the Quebec Five Star Series for the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints.
SYRACUSE, NY – As the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) venture north to the Montreal area of Quebec, the events that boast the largest purses of any full point events on the championship tour just got a little richer. With the help of the Poirier family business Fondations 4 Saisons ten teams will now be splitting from a special point fund that has been set up for 2010.
The special Quebec Five Star Series will involve the two events each at Autodrome’s Granby and Drummond as well as the first ever ESS appearance to Motordrome St. Marcel. Fondations 4 Saisons sponsored the A-Main events at Granby and Drummond the past three seasons but with the new point fund their contribution was increased substantially.
“Steve is not only a great driver and champion with ESS, but his family has been huge supporters over the years with sponsorship programs.” said ESS President Chuck Miller. “Before only one driver (the A-Main winner) took home extra dollars from each event. Now ten different teams will be awarded for their solid efforts on the five events.”
Quebec stars like Poirier, Michael Parent, Alain Bergeron, Normand Beaudreault, Daniel Lampron, Kayle Robidoux, Dale Gosselin, Donald Lemire and Sylvain Ericksen will be ready to take on the best from the province of Ontario and the United States with more money on the line.
Last year ESS had five special point fund categories topped by the overall Lucas Oil champion. This has now been increased by one with more in the works. Having different point funds proved very popular with the teams as many shared in the wealth.
The full schedule for the 2010 season is right around the corner with the first event being the annual Motorsports Expo held at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, NY on March 13 and 14.
