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 past as well as hint at its glowing future.
