The Canadian Dollar doesn’t seem to be gaining too much ground and some are predicting our dollar will be lower compared to the U.S. dollar closer to summer, so get that done now to save some money. The nice thing though is your yearend payout from NASCAR is in U.S. dollars! As well, remember NASCAR Members get a 10% discount at EIR’s Front Gate and Concession by showing your NASCAR License.
Thank you to the Race Teams that are taking advantage of the Race Team Merchandise offer we have. You simply provide us with your product (with an inventory list), you tell us what you want it sold for, the WSCC will add 5% for their Administrative Fee and you get your full asking price. We have at least 5 Teams already signed up!
Our 2024 Race Schedule is shaping up to be the best ever! We have a number of different “Appreciation Nights” with our first one being the First Responder & Health Care Workers Night on June 15 the

EIR’s NASCAR NAPA 300 weekend is going to be our biggest NASCAR Canada Event yet! We have lots of new activities this year, Vendors, Selfie Stations, Merchandise Sales, Live Band, Thunder Car Bar and much more! NAPA is very excited about this event and have extended an invitation to all of their NAPA Stores in Western Canada to attend. We need lots of help for that weekend! If any Teams can work that weekend or your families or friends, please reach out to Loretta. We have many positions available including food & beverage service, security, parking and more.
Please do your very best to sign the Yearly Waiver BEFORE your first race! It will save everyone time at the back gate and we all know how the Back Gate line up can get very long!

Edmonton International Raceway (EIR) Volunteers:
Volunteering is what makes events happen from the organizers of the event to the person taking your ticket; it takes a lot of people to make an event work. The best way to watch a race is to be in the race car, the 2nd best way is to be a volunteer.
