Southern Ontario Sprints
Tammy 10 Media, Racers, and Fans Boost Gary Cunningham Memorial Purse
By Peter Turford
(June 19, 2023) - For the racers of the Southern Ontario Sprints another big money race is in the racer’s sights. Through the generosity of Tammy10 Media, the efforts of Travis Cunningham, and the generosity of the Southern Ontario racing community, over $14,000 will be on the line at Merrittville Speedway, this Saturday, June 24.
Tammy 10 Media got the ball rolling by adding $1,000 to the winner’s share while taking care of the back of the field by boosting the race’s minimum pay from $250 to start to $300. As he does every year, Travis Cunningham put together a lap sponsorship program which was soon fully subscribed.
Travis has directed that the lap sponsorship program funds will be used to allow the minimum pay for starting the race to be increased from $300 to $350. On top of that, any remaining funds have been used to boost the payoff for the finishers in the 5th-10th area of the field. In short, pretty much the entire field will be getting a raise on Saturday, June 24.
