Clinton, ON — Frank Salive and Ken Warkentin will be joining Roger Huston in the race calling line-up during Legends Day at Clinton Raceway on Sunday (September 4).
Salive will be returning from Florida and his duties at Popano Park to be a part of the celebration, as he hasn’t missed a Legends Day yet.
“I have had the privilege to be a part of every Legends Day since its inception ten years ago, and to work as Clinton’s announcer from 2001-2010,” stated Salive. “It’s been a welcome surprise in my first two years at Pompano Park how many folks from both countries ask me about Legends Day so I am expecting 2011 to be the best one yet!”
This will be Warkentin’s first official Legends Day visit, breaking from his duties at the Meadowlands.
“While it may be an honor and privilege to be a part of such a wonderful day, and work with such dedicated people, it’s also great to get back home in Ontario, Canada!” claims Warkentin.
In addition to Huston, Salive and Warkentin, Greg Blanchard, Ken Middleton and Tim O’Connor will each take a turn on the mike for a couple races during the day.
The C$20,000 Legends Day Invitational Trot will featuring some of the all-time greatest drivers in the sport. Coming to Clinton that day will be John Campbell, Ron Waples, Keith Waples, Clint Galbraith, Bill O’Donnell, Doug Brown, Jim Doherty, Bud Fritz and Ray Remmen.
Chicken BBQ tickets are now available, as well as raffle tickets for the chance to dine with Theo Fleury, NHL Stanley Cup and Olympic champion. Theo will be on site for photos, autographs and trackside interview with Frank Salive. All proceeds from the day’s events will add to the over C$130,000 that Legends Day has raised over the last 10 years for the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation.
