The Maritime Pro Stock Tour (commonly known as the Fort Garry Industries Pro Stock Tour due to a sponsorship deal with Fort Garry Industries) is an annual stock car auto racing tour located in the Maritime provinces of Canada.
History The Maritime Pro Stock Tour was founded in 2001 to provide short track racing in the Maritime provinces and is the successor to the MASCAR Tour. It is now known as the Fort Garry Industries Pro Stock Tour and was previously known as the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour from 2001 to 2010, the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour from 2011 to 2020, and the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour from 2021 to 2024.
The tour is known as one of the best in Canada and is recognized as one of the healthiest touring series in North America. Each summer the Maritime Pro Stock Tour draws some of the largest crowds of any summer sport in the Maritimes.
On August 4, 2013, driver Mike Stevens was in involved in a four car accident in with two laps remaining in the Exit Realty 100 at Oyster Bed Speedway in Oyster Bed Bridge, P.E.I. Stevens' car flipped onto its roof, but Stevens appeared to be unhurt. As Stevens remained upside down he began to remove his safety equipment, and in his effort he inadvertently strangled himself. The race was stopped immediately and Stevens was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
