The Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series will take to the Mosport Oval this coming weekend, June 12th, to kick off the 2010 Racing Season as the Series enters its 4th year.  Several returning Drivers, as well New Teams are looking forward to taking the Green Flag after a 8 month Winter break where teams readied their cars and equipment for another season of non stop - side by side racing.
 
     With the absence of Steve and Matt Robblee odds are we will see a new Champion in 2010, and there is a good group of potential Winners in the field leading off with last years Top 5.
 
     Brennan Didero #24 returns from a third place in the 2009 championship points and is doing so in a newly built car from the Mid America Motorsports stable. Although this is the first race for the 2010 Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series it is not the first race of the year for Didero who competed last weekend in the Nascar Canadian Tire Series event at Delaware Speedway, finishing a respectable 14th.  "We have one goal in mind and that is to be on top at the end of the year for a Championship. The off season gave us lots of time to build a new car and we think we have a good piece for this year"

    Ottawa's Dave Connelly #82 returns with his Schneiders Dodge hoping to make a run for the Championship as well, and after coming off of a good run last year and finishing 4th in the points makes him a threat to anyone that is racing for the win.  "We were pretty consistent last year and came close to winning a couple of events, a cup full of gas dropped us from 2nd to 4th overall - i have a bigger fuel cell this year" laughed Dave.
 
     Rounding out last years top 5 is Cole Weber #11 who drove the wheels off of his Dodge last year and can be regarded as a good choice to do the same this year.  Weber was on his game last year and found himself always in the hunt for the Win which he successfully pulled of last year.  Weber is the only remaining Driver in the Top 5 from last year that actually Won a race as both Didero and Connelly were shut out in 2009 although both of them were top 10 finishers at most races gaining valuable points towards the Championship, and you can bet that both of them want a Checkered Flag.
 
     Beside's last years Top 5 finishers there is a pretty stout field of more then 20 Drivers that will be on their game in 2010 with new cars, new sponsors and new colors.  London Ontario's Jay Doerr #40 and Josh Wood #66, as well, Thamesford's Dan Prudhomme #96 are always Drivers to keep your eye's on.
 
     If your a true race fan and love to see some of the best racing that Ontario has to offer, then be sure not to miss the opener this weekend at Mosport Speedway.

Gates open at 5:30, Qualifying at 6:30 and a 100 Lapper starting around 9:PM
