PETERBOROUGH, ON – A full season of local racing comes down to one amazing night. On Saturday, August 30, Peterborough Speedway waves the checkered flag on the 2025 line-up with the annual Championship Clash, presented by APC Auto Parts.
After scoring his first career main event win earlier this month, Alex Dallaire (No. 46) leads the Bone Stock standings. A handful of others are within 45 points of the division leader in a class that has seen nearly 40 different racers compete this season.
Even with a wreck sidelining his primary ride, Mike Nelson is the point leader in the Mini Stock division. Heading into the final night of the regular season, he holds a 25-point advantage over John Lavalle. Tyler McMurter, Dave Bragg and Rob Crick follow in the running order. Crick’s title hopes took a hit when the No. 84 machine barrel-rolled during an invitational event at Sunset Speedway.
Good friends Mark Gordon and Howie Crowe have become championship rivals as a result of their season-long success in the Renegade Trucks. Gordon takes a 10-point lead into the APC Auto Parts Championship Clash, with Crowe’s No. 62 pick-up within striking distance of a second consecutive title. Shawn Murray, Stacy Switzer and Adam Chatten (No. 07) are next in line.
Paul Boundy leads the Super Stock standings, with Chad Strawn and Mark Gordon seven and nine points back, respectively, of the driver of the No. 08 machine. Dylan Wills – who earned his first career main event win earlier in the year – sits fourth, less than 10 points ahead of Clayton Reed.
Ryan Kimball leads the Late Model standings but is less than 30 markers ahead of Kelly Balson heading into the season-ending showdown. Steve Powell and the most recent feature winner, Dan McHattie, follow in the order, with Jacob Mercer (No. 81) holding onto fifth place.
Nearly 25 different racers have hit the track in the Junior Late Model division in 2025. Thirteen teams are within 100 points of the overall lead. Hudson Sellers, Oliver Gibbons, Brody Coates, Kaiden Beatty, Lucas Finnegan, Owen Ephgrave, Lyla Sikma, Gracelynn MacInnes, Avery Kirkpatrick and Brayden Cappuccitti occupy the top 10 positions in the standings.
All point standings are unofficial.
Fans are encouraged to be on hand Saturday, August 30, for the 2025 Championship Clash, presented by APC Auto Parts, and see this year’s champions crowned in person. Grandstand gates open at 3 p.m., with the season finale green flag at 4.
