Grand River Raceway will be playing host to the Regional Driving Championship on Monday, October 20, and Grand River Marketing manager Kelly Spencer has put together a youtube video gearing up for the event.

Nine drivers will battle it out and work their way down to two top drivers who will be headed to the National Driving Championship held at Fraser Downs on Saturday, March 21, 2009.

In 2009, the World Driving Championship will be hosted in concert with the World Trotting Conference in Norway. The WDC is scheduled for May 14 – 20.
