Hamilton, Ontario businessman and philanthropist Chris Ecklund, who is NascarCamping.com's founder and sponsor, is pleased to announce that he has commissioned Tim Miller, veteran sports journalist for the Hamilton Spectator, to write a book about Cayuga Speedway. Dubbed the "Crown Jewel" of Canadian racetracks, the 5/8 mile oval has a vibrant 40 year history worth preserving. Over the years, Cayuga Speedway has seen such NASCAR legends as Dale Earnhardt Sr., Rusty Wallace, and Don Biederman pit their skills against Canada's top racing talent. Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, and Ron Fellows have also competed there. It has hosted some of the biggest events in Canadian stock car competition.

Mr. Ecklund is self-publishing the book, which will be a coffee table volume, and intends to have it available for purchase in time for the ARCA race in June. He is paying all costs associated with research, image acquisition, writing, and publication out of his own pocket. The book is intended to educate sports writers and race fans of all ages about Cayuga Speedway's thrilling past as well as hint at its glowing future.
