The Shriners Classic is one of the most prestigious races on the Scotia Speedworld calendar for those both old school and new to the Fleet Brake Atlantic Late Model Sportsman division. Originally a Street Stock race, the race transitioned to the Sportsman when the Street Stocks dissolved in the early 2000s. Local racing heroes the likes of reigning East Coast International Pro Stock Tour champion Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS), multi-time Tour race winner and inaugural 1995 Classic winner Gordie Ryan (Wellington, NS), Harry Ross White (Noel Road, NS), Darren Wallage (Oakfield, NS), James Graves (Berwick, NS) and Russell Smith Jr (Lakeside, NS), just to name a few, have all won the race at least once. The late Terry Roma (West Chezzetcook, NS) was the first to three with Jeff Dillman (Middle Musquodoboit, NS) winning his fourth in 2014. Deven Smith (Lakeside, NS) is the two time and defending champion and will look to become only the third driver to win three or more Shriners Classics.
