The 2007 Chase for the Mac’s
Cup will be
an Eight Race Series
The 2007 Mac’s Chase Series will
be an eight race series with races at the following tracks: 4 Races
in Calgary, 2 in Saskatoon, 1 in Medicine Hat and 1 in Wetaskiwin.
Schedule permitting all chase races will have a 50 lap Main. The
exception to this format of course is the Froster 50 which will
remain as 50 MILE Race.
The First four races set up the
Chase, these are: |
 |
| May 26th The Seattle’s Best Coffee
50 in Calgary |
| June 9th The Doritos 50 in
Saskatoon |
| June 30th The Milk 2 Go 50 in
Calgary |
| July 14th The M&M’s 50 in Calgary |
From
those results the top 4 drivers + one wild card in each class will compete for
the 2007 Mac’s Cup.
The first four races are normal payouts for all.
You will be allowed to drop one of the eight races in this years Chase.
The final four races will determine the Champions in each Class:
| August 11th The Mac’s Froster 50
in Saskatoon |
| August 25th The Tropicana Twister
50 in Medicine Hat |
| September 8th The Twizzler’s 50 in
Wetaskiwin |
| September 30th The Wrigley’s
Inferno 50 in Calgary |
The Main Event Sponsors of each of the Chase races will be providing the top
three finishers with an additional award at the conclusion of each of these
events.
Those 5 drivers start the second half of the Chase will have a separate points
scoring system and basically start the second half with ZERO points to level the
field between them, allowing all five an equal shot at the Cup. It truly becomes
a four race shoot out for those five drivers in each class.
The Mac’s Froster 50 is the start of the final leg of the 2007 Chase with 5
drivers in each Class competing for the Cup. This does not mean that the rest of
you stay home as there is an additional $500 being split by the top three
finishers in the final three races and the points fund has been boosted by
almost $2,000 for those not in the Chase. So attendance and points finish does
matter.
The Froster 50 as the first of the four Chase Races will have a big purse, as it
did last year.
So it should be an exciting format and everyone has a shot at some extra dollars
in the Chase.

Bits From The Pits |

Just like every major racing series,
The Legends series has its own "Silly Season". Here are a few of the
moves that are happening for the 2007 season.
Randy Peppler who drove the Grant Beck owned #16 goes to the #86
owned by Greg McTavish, the #30 owned by Darrell Hayley was bought
by Phil Barata out of Airdrie, the #95 owned by Brent Tunal was sold
to Legends, and then Legends sold it to Tom Overholt and it now
becomes the #76, Doug Bender and Don HyKaway bought the #6 from Al
Brown and will change to #23, Al Brown bought the a 34 Ford Coupe
and will still run the #6, Collin Friend takes the #55 from Aaron
friend and will put the #29 on the 10oz car purchased from Legend
Cars of Alberta. Trent Guest sells the #32 & #62 to Harvey & Rob
Tams (but will still drive when he isn’t racing his CASCAR). And
Jason Johnstone will vacate the #2 and it will be now driven by his
partner Aaron Schafert and Jason will drive the #1.
Whew and we still have 3 months till
race day. |

It was great to see Dave Kindopp at
the meeting in Red Deer on Saturday. Car owner Wayne Miller was seen
talking to his ex driver and word has it that Dave is feeling great
and the doctors have given him the green light but have asked him to
be cautious. Could we see Dave in a Legend racecar doing a race or
two in 2007? Dave is pictured in the photo to the right as the
winning crew chief for Randy Thompson in '06. Dave is a winner
behind the wheel and behind the wrenches. |
