For racing fans, there will be some special touches at the show as once again OSCAAR will have their booth set-up to preview their 2014 jam-packed season. With the schedule released, this year promises to be bigger and better than last year – how is that possible – for both the Super Late Models and the OSCAAR Hanover Holiday Modified. Davey Terry, who finished third in points last year, has been hard at work getting his No. 14 Wasteco Modified ready to display with a brand new wrap.

Ontario short track veteran Gary Elliott will be on hand as he displays his brand new OSCAAR Hanover Holiday Modified wrapped in the Lincoln Electric colors, as well as his No. 36 Quaker State Late Model. Despite over 40 years behind the wheel, Elliott will be a rookie this year as he tackles the OSCAAR ranks.
