VIP AutoPro Proudly Sponsors Robblee Motorsports at Delaware Speedway
VIP AutoPro sponsors Matt Robblee’s #51 race car, and our Florence Street manager has been part of the Robblee Motorsports team for years. Here’s the connection, the first-place win in summer 2025, and the crash that was caught on video.
Watch: the #51 gets caught up in a crash at Delaware Speedway
Short-track racing is door-to-door, and sometimes there’s nowhere to go. The video below picks up seconds before the contact. Hit play and watch the #51.
The video starts right before the incident. Crashes are part of racing — and part of why a season takes far more work than the laps you see on race night.
Who is Robblee Motorsports?
Robblee Motorsports is driver Matt Robblee’s stock car team, racing at Delaware Speedway just west of London, Ontario. The team runs the #51 — the white car with the red roof and the VIP AutoPro logo across the hood.
Grassroots racing at this level is a team effort: a crew, a car to prepare and repair between race nights, and local sponsors whose names ride on the bodywork. VIP AutoPro is one of those sponsors, and we’re proud to be.
Paul Cartwright and the #51
Paul Cartwright manages VIP AutoPro on Florence Street, and he has been involved with the Robblee Motorsports team for years. That’s the connection between a London auto repair shop and a #51 stock car at Delaware Speedway — a sponsorship that comes from someone on our own team being part of the racing team too.
Why it matters to us: Delaware Speedway has been part of the London area’s car culture since 1952. Having the VIP AutoPro name on a car that races there is a way of supporting local racing and the people who keep it going.
A first-place win at Delaware Speedway in summer 2025
In August 2025, Matt Robblee took first place at Delaware Speedway. Congratulations to Matt and the whole Robblee Motorsports team — a win is the payoff for all the preparation, repairs, and late nights that go into a race season.
What racing teaches us about taking care of your car
A race car gets gone over after every event, because on a half-mile oval a small problem becomes a big one fast. Your daily driver isn’t that extreme, but the same systems decide whether it’s safe and reliable — and they’re the same ones our technicians look at during the digital vehicle inspection included with every service.
Brakes
Race cars have their brakes checked constantly. On the street, a brake inspection catches worn pads and rotors before they cost you a stop — or a lot more money.
Brake ServiceSteering & Suspension
Race setups live and die on alignment and suspension. Worn ball joints, tie rods, or shocks on your car show up as wandering, clunks, and uneven tire wear.
Suspension RepairTires
Tires are the only thing touching the road — at the track or on the way to work. We’ll help you pick the right tires for your vehicle, your driving, and your budget.
