Provincial Racers Head to the 32nd Annual Autumn Colours Classic
With a history spanning more than 3 decades, the annual Autumn Colours Classic at Peterborough Speedway has earned a well-deserved reputation as a provincial motorsports showcase. This year’s edition of the Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing – with Courtice, Ontario’s B&G Towing and Recovery as the title sponsor – takes centre stage from October 10th to 12th in the heart of cottage country.
Every track and travelling series in the province will be well represented in the Autumn Colours’ starting line-up. Owen Sound, Ontario’s Wally Wilson would be a prime example. After scoring his first career OSCAAR Modified win at Peterborough Speedway in 2024, the driver of the No. 69 machine captured the 2025 track championship at Sunset Speedway and finished 3rd in the point standings at Delaware Speedway. This will be his 10th run in the season ending Central Ontario finale, where he finished 3rd last year.
Wally Wilson has a background with the Outlaw Midgets and that group will return this year for another kick at the can. Jessica James will make her 9th start and has some impressive stats on her resume. The Stirling, Ontario racer has trophies from 4 wins (2016-2017 and 2021-2022) in her racing hardware collection. Orillia, Ontario’s Dave Inglis has raced with the Outlaw Midgets for 7 seasons. His best finish in the group’s headliner was last year’s 4th place effort. Jason Metcalfe comes into his Autumn Colours Classic run on the strength of a solid 2025 season. A year ago, the driver of the No. 29 – who hails from Whitby, Ontario – scored both the race win and club point championship.
A former racer with what is now known as the Ontario Sportsman Series, Ollie Ferguson moved into the Peterborough Speedway KOD Disposal Late Model ranks in 2025. The talented 15-year-old runner – who calls Lindsay, Ontario home – will pilot his No. 55 machine to a first career start in the Autumn Colours Classic Electric City 167 ‘A’ main.
Check out the pre-race pit party with free hot dogs, presented by KOD Disposal Thursday night at 8:00. After the Friday night race program concludes, Peterborough’s own Ty Wilson will entertain behind the main grandstand.
Pit gates open Friday, October 10th at 10:00, with pre-race technical inspection and practice leading into the opening round of qualifying for the Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock, SwitchTire Mini Stock and Jiffy Lube Super Stock fields, along with preliminary action for the OSCAAR Hot Rods & Modifieds and Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Cars. OMRS SportsMods will also conclude the 2025 schedule as part of the opening night line-up.
