In honor of his unprecedented dual victories in the World
Driving Championship and the Meadowlands/Tioga Drivers’ Championship in 2011,
Canadian superstar Jody Jamieson will be honored with a bobblehead at Vernon
Downs on Sunday, August 26 when he defends the second of his titles.
“I’m joining some elite company of drivers who have been
honored with bobbleheads including Brian Sears, Yannick Gingras and Tim
Tetrick,” said Jamieson. “It’s nice to
be recognized and it’s always nice to beat the best drivers in the world.”
The first round of this year’s $50,000 Drivers’ Championship
will be contested at the Meadowlands on Friday, August 17, closing night of the
Championship Meet.
For the first time, the final round moves to Vernon Downs
and shares the spotlight with the $700,000 estimated Zweig Memorial Trot, which
will also be raced at Vernon Downs for the first time. Post time on the special
Sunday, August 26 racing program is 1:15 PM.
“We’re excited to be able to continue our great bobblehead
tradition by honoring Jody Jamieson,” said Jason Settlemoir, VP of Racing and
Simulcast. “Jody is a great promoter of
harness racing, both in Canada
and also in the United
States, and we appreciate his continued
support of Vernon Downs and Tioga Downs.”
