In the Coast Tire Street Stock division a first time champion stood on the side of his car with pride as he took home the 2007 Championship in the Coast Tire Street Stock Division. Francis finished in 14th overall in today’s race while Derek Christie in the #45 overcame the #54 of Rick Cashol to get closer to his first championship but came 16 points short of Francis. In the race itself however the #61 of Josh Arbeau took home the feature win while the #18 of John Feltmate took home second and rounding out the top three was the #11 of Rodney Ness. This years rookie award went to the #88 of Brian Fox who has had a great past couple of weeks with at least all top 10 finishes.
In the Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman division a championship added yet another trophy to his case and another title to his tally. Going into the feature the #69 of Brian Gillespie and the #18 of Brian MacNaughton were tied. At the end of the day only one person can take home the championship and that honor goes to the Nackawic Nitetrain of Brian Gillespie. In the feature however the #44 of George Jamieson put another great end to their season, this time on all four wheels and off the tow truck. If fans can remember, in 2006 George Jamieson finished the race on his roof in the pits. After being hooked on a tow truck and turned over, the #44 Dodge was towed into victory. This year was fortunately not a repeat. Finishing in second was the #69 of Brian Gillespie and rounding out the top three was the #37 of Bradley Logan. The top rookie contender award went to the #96 of Chris Garnett while the #18 of Brian MacNaughton took home the most laps completed Haulmark Trailer.
In the CARQUEST Pro Stock division another championship was added to the #81 Dodge of Glen Rasmussen. Rasmussen now has four championships and trophies under his belt. Rasmussen finished off the year with a first place podium finish along with a championship. Leading into the feature, Greg Fahey was only 5 points behind Rasmussen. Due to a couple of on-track incidents #20 had to settle for second overall. In the feature, finishing second was the #26 of Mike Stevens and finishing in the third position was the #48 of Dave O’Blenis. After experiencing problems in the feature, the #66 of Paul Gahan took was able to hang on for the Most Laps Completed Macleans Sports Haulmark Trailer Award. The 2007 season has finally come to an end; however it went out like a bang! Albert is retiring after this year, the champions were crowned while the fans and staff went home please with another successful season. With another year in the books NBIS staff wishes all the best to everyone during the off season and we will see everyone in the 2008 season which is sure to be FANTASTIC!

to Celebrate Day of Champions - Fan Appreciation Day September 19th, 2007 Mother Nature interfered for the second time this season as last weekend's event was washed due to poor whether. This weekend features a return to the oval for the final event of the season with several familiar faces once again in the run for the championship. In the CARQUEST Pro Stock Division, returning champion Glen Rasmussen is hoping to put a forth championship in his trophy case, but he holds a mere 20 point lead over Greg Fahey and Dave O'Blenis, a two-time champion. Any of the top three drivers could take home the championship as Rasmussen did when he pulled off one of the most remarkable last day championship wins in recent history when he went into the final event in 2003 ten points behind the leader, ran a perfect day winning his heat, dash, and feature to win the championship by a single point. In the Martin's Home Heating Sportsman Division, three-time sportsman champion Brian Gillespie enters the event looking for a record fourth championship. The Nackawic resident currently holds a mere 6 point lead over veteran driver and defending champion Brian MacNaughton. Sitting in the third spot, and returning back to NBIS is Wade Harris who is still in recovery from an unfortunate wreck a few weeks back. Gillespie knows from first hand experience that the championship will not be his until the final lap. In 2003, he entered the final event in fifth place and 25 points behind the leader. By the end of the event, he had a 13 point lead and the championship. In the Coast Tire Street Stock Division, Mike Francis is looking for his first ever championship, holding a 28 point lead over defending champion Rick Cashol currently in the second position. It's been a very competitive year between the two and given that they will be starting side-side to each other all afternoon; it's bound to lead to some typical three-wide street stock racing and some fender rubbing. Derek Christie sits just outside, 30 points behind contender Francis. It's not inconceivable that with a good run and some bad luck by Francis or Cashol, Christie might find himself with his first championship also. In addition to this championship battle Saturday will mark the last race for legendary Smokin' Joe Albert as he plans to retire after this event. Be sure to come out to his last effort in the trademark orange 04. This will be the weekend where the drivers will also give back to the fans with a pre-race on-track autograph session starting at 1pm. This is just one component of Fan Appreciation Day that is designed for fans of all ages and includes prizes from gracious sponsors that will be given away throughout the day. Prizes, an autograph session, and last gasp dashes to the championship - what more could a fan want? Who will be crowned champions in 20067? Check it out this weekend at New Brunswick International Speedway. The actions starts at 2pm this coming Saturday. Fan Appreciation Day Sunday, October 15th at 2pm Pit gates open at 10am Grandstands open at 12pm Autograph Session at 1pm Racing starts at 2pm Regular points racing in the Coast Tire Street Stock Division (20 lap feature), Martin's Home Heating Sportsman (30 lap feature), and CARQUEST Pro Stocks (40 lap feature).

Saturday 7:45am - Given the forecast for rain late this morning and afternoon officials at NBIS have cancelled Saturday's scheduled Triple 50 event. The call was made early to attempt to save race teams and fans travel costs as a "later in the day" cancellation looked inevitable. NOTE: There is no rain date for this event so the next scheduled event is Fan Appreciation Day Saturday Sept 22nd at 2:00pm.
CONGRATS TO 2007 CARQUEST TOUR CHAMPION SHAWN TUCKER
We apologize for the delay in updating NBISONLINE. Everything should be up to date at this point with results and Point Standing updates from Leisure Family RV Centers SPEEDWEEKEND. Hathaway
and Ruff Shine Up For Another Trophy
September 3rd, 2007
Pat Sharpe in the #51 held on to the lead for a long period of time. He eventually caught up to the crowd in the final points to, evidentially, get spun out by almost every contender on the track. This didn’t stop his car from taking home the win of today’s race but that win just wasn’t enough to take home the BIG win. Finishing in the second position was the number 8 of the championship team, Benji ruff and Dale Hathaway. This dynamic duo has won previous championships and is not a stranger to victory lane. Rounding out the top three was the #50 of Billy Duthie who took home his first podium finish of the 2007 season. The Enduro driver’s now have a few months to improve their cars and possibly make new ones as this event was the last Enduro 200 of the season. NBIS will return to the Enduro season in 2008. The race season is not yet over for 2007 though so make sure you swing by the Geary woods on September 15th for the first ever triple header feature for all three divisions.
