London Ontario – August 10, 2022– NASCAR legend and racing icon, Ken Schrader, will pilot the #3 Ed Hakonson Racing Chevrolet entry in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series inaugural dirt event at Ohsweken Speedway on Tuesday, August 16th.

   With backing from APC Auto Parts Centres, CANUSA Automotive Warehousing Inc., and Miami Muscle, Schrader will be looking to drive to the front in the #3 originally made famous in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series by 2020 Series Champion Jason Hathaway.

    Ken Schrader’s passion for motorsports has been well documented throughout his 40+ years of racing. Starting at barely 16, Schrader has made it a lifelong goal to race as often as possible and in as many classes of race cars as possible.

    “It is always exciting to have the APC logo and colours on display at a racing event, but when you can have an icon like Ken Schrader representing the brand it makes it that much more special”, stated APC Marketing Manager Corinne Mallough.

   An icon within the motorsport’s community, Schrader has driven every kind of race car – late models, modifieds, sports cars, sprint cars, Indy cars and stock cars.  His many “roles” in racing include driver, team owner, author, radio and TV commentator, spotter, race track promoter, and mentor.  Schrader has driven at NASCAR’s highest level – the Cup Series- for 30 seasons before retiring in 2013 at Miami-Homestead Speedway.

Hagersville, Ontario- September 12, 2020- With 2 wins under his belt in the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series FanCave Challenge, Hathaway and his #3 Kubota Chevrolet team lead the Championship points standings going into the season finale at Jukasa MotorSpeedway on Saturday.

   Practice before the 2-race event was a quick 30 minutes.  The Team’s efforts in the shop prepping the car meant only minor tweaks on their race set up trackside. Hathaway drew the fifth place starting spot for the Motomaster 125.

    Hathaway, with a pristine handling race car, worked his way up through the running order to take the lead on lap 47 of the race. He set a quick pace and stayed in the top 3 until taking the lead for the final time in the race on lap 79. He broke away from the rest of the pack with a full straightaway, 6-second lead, bringing home his 3rd victory of the 6-race series.

     Hathaway started 3rd in the 2nd race of the day and once again played it smart, patiently working his way to the lead on lap 25 and comfortably kept his #3 Kubota Chevrolet in the top 3 for the rest of the race, finishing 3rd.

     After a very successful season with 3 wins in 6 races, posting 5 top 5 finishes, 6 top 10 finishes and 393 laps lead, Hathaway dominated the 2020 season on track and was crowned the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series FanCave Challenge Champion.

     Hathaway was full of pride and emotion during the Championship ceremonies. “I can’t say enough about how proud I am of this Team and what we have accomplished this season. The shop prep was awesome, with countless hours put in by the guys during the week and on weekends, making my job easier to go out and win races. Our EHR group is so dedicated and loyal. Thanks to Kubota for their unwavering support during these unprecedented times as well as Total Lubricants Canada and Kugel Bearing.”

     Team principal Ed Hakonson was also on hand for the Championship ceremonies at Jukasa. “Jay and the boys did a great job this season. The crew in the shop not only prepared Jay’s car but also helped to field 3 other teams. I think that really demonstrates their commitment to this team and to the sport during these trying times we are all facing. Congratulations to NASCAR on a successful 2020 season.”

     The Motomaster 125 will air on TSN on Saturday, September 19th at 11 am EST and the Pinty’s 125 will air on TSN on Sunday, September 27th at 5 pm. Both races will also be aired on RDS & RDS2 and MAVTV in the US.
