In the August 23rd edition of Spencer Lewis’ Short Track Notebook, we update you on Thunder Car front runner Smokin’ Joe Adams, OSCAAR Super Late Model rookie Kevin Cornelius and former Flamboro Speedway Pro Late Model winner Brad Corcoran. We also feature video interviews with TQ Can-Am Midget driver Corey Moesker, ISMA Supermodified drivers Ryan Litt and Jon McKennedy as well as the first edition of our ‘Bench Racing’ series with Andy Kamrath and Graham Annis.
OSCAAR Super Late Model rookie Kevin Cornelius has confirmed he will be out of action until Sunset Speedway’s Velocity weekend on September 28th & 29th. Cornelius recently suffered a workplace-related injury, heavily damaging his right hand. The injury will remove Cornelius from contention for OSCAAR’s 2013 Rookie of the Year title, and puts the Orangeville, ON driver out of action at a time when his streak of consistent finishes had many industry personalities pointing to him as the surprise of the 2013 OSCAAR season. Updates on Cornelius’ recovery can be found on his team site www.KDRMotorsports.ca. Kevin’s 2013 campaign is made possible thanks to Halton Crushed Stone, Lee Sand and Gravel, Hanson Concrete, Sandbox Tech Child Care, Alliston Transmission, Ed’s Automotive, Triple Concrete and MacMaster Buick GMC for their support.

Brad Corcoran (above, by Rebecca Corcoran) has released the first images of his OSCAAR Super Late Model in preparation for its debut this weekend at Peterborough Speedway.

Corcoran will compete against fellow rookies Andrew Gresel, JR Fitzpatrick and Sean Cronan at Peterborough, as his team continues their quest for their first ever OSCAAR victory.
