Central Ontario’s favourite race place celebrates the halfway mark of the 2025 regular season on Saturday, July 12th.
Catch your own piece of the action with the home track Mini Stock, Junior Late Model, Renegade Truck and Late Model divisions, plus the year’s only appearance by the Ontario Outlaw Super Late Models. King of the Hill spectator laps will be the night’s intermission attraction. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 6:00.
Shawn Chenoweth is the most recent winner on the Super Late Model tour, taking home a $10,000 payday in the Jackpot on the Hilltop event at Sunset Speedway. Earlier this season, reigning series champion J.R. Fitzpatrick took the victory in the prestigious Don Biederman Memorial at Flamboro Speedway.
Mike Nelson is the current points leader in Peterborough’s Mini Stock field, with a 19-point cushion over John Lavalle. Kent Missons, Rob Crick and Tyler McMurter round-out the top-five in the standings. Multi-time track champion Dan McHattie has a slim two-point lead over reigning track champion Ryan Kimball in the Late Model title chase. Kelly Balson, Steve Powell and Gary Hannah hold down the 3rd, 4th and 5th place positions.
In Junior Late Model action, Lucas Finnegan picked up the win in the local leg of the SPS Rumble Series on Saturday, July 5th. Finnegan entered that show with the home track point lead. Over 20 different racers have scored points in at least one event on the Peterborough Speedway schedule.
