ACTON, ON- Reigning Sunset Speedway Mini Stock champion Brandon McFerran has filed entry for tonight’s ‘Battle at the Beach’ invitational. The teenager will join a bevy of cross-province stars at the event, with hopes of earning his first career Sauble Speedway victory.
“I feel like every time I pull up social media there’s another big name talking about hauling to Sauble this weekend,” laughs McFerran. “It’s gonna be a shark tank out there tonight. We’ll be packing our A-Game for sure”
The third-generation star currently leads the Sunset Speedway weekly points, but insists that same level of strategy will be out the window when the team unloads at Sauble.
“We race all season at Sunset to win a championship – but when we go out on the road like this, all we’re looking to do is win races”
“The entry list is stacked. I don’t even know what they’re paying to win. To be honest, it doesn’t matter,” continues ‘The Astronaut’. “We’re fired up to win this race because some of the best guys in the province are going to be there. Kamrath, Paxton, Bridge, Schwartzenburg, Crumbie – these are the guys we’re going to have to beat in the fall when the playoff season rolls around. It’ll be nice to have a chance to see where we stack up against them this weekend”
McFerran has finished outside of the top-5 only once this season, and will look to continue his early-season hot streak tonight.
“Our car has been great the last few weeks. I know how tough it is to beat the Sauble guys on their home turf, but hopefully we can give them something to worry about”
“These races are important to test ourselves as a team,” explains McFerran. “It’s one thing to be fast at the same track every Saturday – but if you can go out on the road and do the same thing, that’s when you know you’ve done something.”
Brandon McFerran’s 2015 season is fueled by Peter D. Laird Transport, Sauble Falls Tent & Trailer Park, Road Ranger, East End Car Wash, B&B Towing, Creative Edge Graphics, Finish Line Painting & Restoration, DS McClure Farms, AMD Electric, Ultimate Finishes and Matalco.
