Danny Chisholm will defend his “home turf” at Riverside International Speedway on June 29 and 30 when the cars and stars of the NASCAR Canada Series make their only stop in Nova Scotia this year.

 Chisholm, an accomplished young racer from Port Williams, has called Antigonish home the past few summers, working at Nova Racing.

 The PRO LINE 150 on Saturday, June 29, and Choko 150 on Sunday, June 30 will be Chisholm’s second and third races, with the nation’s only national stock car racing touring series.

 The NASCAR Canada Series races at Riverside on June 29 and 30 are part of a huge Canada Day Weekend at the facility. On Friday, June 28, James Barker Band headlines Country Rocks Riverside.
