Role at Riverside: Racer

Frank Fraser is a two-time winner of the Riverside 250, taking the checkers in 1978 and 1987; the first win was during the open (non-sanctioned) era and the second win under the MASCAR sanction.

Fraser started racing in his native New Brunswick in 1962; little did they know at Airport Raceway near Saint John they were witnessing the birth of a Maritimes racing legend. Now 50 years later, the long-time resident of Shubenacadie, owns hundreds of wins at tracks in the Maritimes, Ontario, and the United States – including a 1979 win in a NASCAR Busch North race.

He has retired from full-time driving (twice) but still competes at select events including the River Glade International, in which he holds the record for the most wins at six.

He has been a driver, promoter, race director, car builder, team owner, and mentor – especially to sons Frank Jr. and Scott.

Fraser remains active in racing as a car builder and as Vice-President of the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame in which he was inducted November 6, 2010 – just one day after being inducted in the Colchester Sports Heritage Hall Of Fame.
