Sunoco, Ron Fellows and ASN Canada FIA elect to cancel the 2008 karting series

Mississauga, Ontario - February 13, 2008 - The Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship announced today that contrary to previous announcements, the 2008 version of the championship will not take place.

"While our championship, which started seven years ago in 2002, has touched several hundred karters in a positive way, I have a responsibility to Sunoco, our other corporate supporters and the karting community that we continue to provide growth and opportunity.” stated Ron Fellows.

"During the previous six seasons, we have more than met our goals and objectives through the karting series as well as through our entry level car racing program – Sunoco Team Ultra 94”.

"At this time, I feel that we need to spend more time to better evaluate the competitive needs of the sport of karting in Ontario and how best to provide value to the karting community and our sponsors.”

"I thank the participants and their families, the officials and commercial sponsors for their past dedication and support of the championship. For 2008, we will continue our support of karting in other ways and look hard at the future beyond 2008”, Fellows said.
