The Raceway takes over the London Lightning game

Tue 7 Feb 2012 | Comments (0)

This past Sunday, three of The Raceway's top drivers, Scott Young, Scott Wray and Rob Sparling Jr. joined Raceway announcer Greg Blanchard, Marketing Coordinator Sarah Imrie and the Be Entertained team for a fun filled day of promoting The Raceway and catching a new kind of racing fan's attention!

The Raceway team took over the John Labatt's Center in London during an exciting NBL basketball game with the London Lightning dominating the court against the Oshawa Power.

The most thrilling part of the game?? as always...the half time show!

With "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" echoing throughout the stadium, Greg Blanchard gave out the official call for the "London Lightning Bouncy Pony Stake Race". Scott Wray and Scott Young lined up at the gate to face off against two lucky London Lightning fans. While Scott Young demonstrated his excellent pony riding skills and crossed the finish line ahead of the pack, in the end they were all winners as the fans walked away with Raceway swag and the Raceway team had successfully introduced a rowdy crowd of basketball fans to the fun, exciting experience that is horse racing.
