Turner defends Sprint crown at Speedway
Administrator | Jun 17, 2019 | Comments 0
After a pair of season opener rain outs, No. 1 Holly Porter and 2018 champ No. 13 Cory Turner were eager to lead the field of 18 Southern Ontario Sprints to green at the Brighton Speedway, Saturday.
On the second time by Turner slid past Porter and took off. A pair of cautions and some lapped traffic slowed a furious pace but nothing was going to keep Turner from victory lane as Porter, No. 91 Ryan Turner, No. 10 Mitch Brown and No. 11J Chris Jones waged a fierce single file battle for the lead. Turner flew to victory lane with Porter in second, Ryan Turner third, Brown fourth and Jones fifth.
Sandercock snags fourth season win
It only took No. 77 Caley Weese two laps to grab the lead from her third starting position in the 35-lap Vanderlaan Building Products Ltd. Northeast Late Model Alliance home track race 1.
Steve Baldwin went to war with Weese for the top spot in a thrilling back and forth affair. By the 8th time by Baldwin snatched the lead and sped off while No. 57 Charlie Sandercock continued to muscle his way up from his 10th starting position into third. Sanderock went door-to-door with Baldwin, took the lead on lap 14 and never looked back as he went on to score his fourth season win. Baldwin earned a hard fought second, Weese an equally well deserved third place finish, No. 46 Brandon Mowat fourth and No. 1 Andy Mayhew fifth.
Brown bring home first dirt career win
“I can’t believe it,” were the words Linc Brown cried out as he parked his No. 99 machine in victory lane four races into his Bainer’s OilGARD Anti Rust career.
Having just made the switch from pavement this season Brown called the win unbelievable, but for race fans seeing was believing as Brown snapped up the lead from pole sitter No. 39 Jonah Mutton with only 7 laps of the 25-lap feature to go. Brown flew to victory lane with No. 32 Doug O’Blenis taking runner up, No. 87 Andrew Hennessy finished third, Mutton fourth and No. 12 Adam Whaley fifth.
Checkers fly for Freeman
From the drop of the green flag The Brighton Automotive Thuder Stocks treated fans to a stellar show in the Insta Panels Duel on the Dirt Race 2. No. 82 Terry Gorgerat and No. 23 Angie Kirby led the 20-car field to green in the 20-lap feature. No. 51 Mike Freeman was quick to take the lead from his fourth starting position while No. 69 Steven Stachura, No. 53 Wade Purchase and No. 17 Jeff Humphrey treated fans to a three-wide battle for third place. Freeman and Purchase went back and forth but it would be the 51 that would hang tough on the outside for the win. Purchase took second, Humphrey third, Stachura fourth and No. 03 Justin Ramsay fifth.
Daniel Dick and Kyle Gregory score stinger wins
Daniel Dick was a force to be reckoned with in his No. 22 machine in the 12-lap Quinte Septic Junior Stinger feature race. He scooped up the lead on the 4th lap and hammered down to victory lane scoring his first ever checkered flag. No. 37 Terry Blight took home second, No. 76 Brad Collar third, No. 25 Steve Darling fourth and No. 95 Ethan Schoep fifth.
Having just made the jump from junior to the Quinte Septic Senior Stinger Division No. 1 Kyle Gregory was determined to score his second win of the season. He wasted no time taking the lead and sailed to victory lane with No. 93 Jordan Pickell in second, No. 08 Brian Cross third, No. 42JR Aiden Fletcher, No. 07 Megan Golden.
