Race fans were treated to an action-packed race card on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway. The evening featured 79 cars, including the Van-tastics, Late Models, Canadian Modifieds, Thunder Stocks and 4-Cylinders.
Mowat Motors to 3rd Victory
Anthony Rinaldi and Brandon Mowat led a field of 11 Late Models to green in the 30-lap main event, where a caution quickly slowed the pace on Lap 4. On the restart, Mowat muscled into the lead on the outside, coming down the backshoot. Mowat was hooked up on the outside as Steve Baldwin and Brian McDonald tried to reel him in. When the checkers fell, Mowat crossed the line first for the third time this season, with Baldwin in second. McDonald took third, Kyle Sopaz fourth and Caley Weese fifth.
Mowat Makes it Rain Checkers
A heat win earned Ron Wadforth pole position for the Canadian Modified 25-lap feature. The points leader and reigning champ met his match in Leslie Mowat. On Lap 3, Mowat charged into the lead on the inside, where she stayed glued as Wadforth tried with everything he had to catch her. The pair went wheel-to-wheel in an exhilarating chase for victory. Mowat was relentless in pursuit of her first season win for 22 laps; she parked it in victory lane, with Wadforth runner-up. Shawn Gregory moved from eighth to finish third, Doug O’Blenis placed fourth and Dylan Boyle fifth.
Six Wins for French
It only took Tyler French two laps to move from fourth to first in the Thunder Stock 20-lap main, where he used the outside to his advantage and took off. Carter Rhodes and Brock Gregory proved to be his toughest contenders of the night. French flew to victory lane, picking up his sixth season win, with Rhodes in second and Gregory third. Doug Anderson was fourth and Kaitlyn O’Blenis fifth.
Checkers Fly for Fletcher Again
Polesitter Travis “the Hammer” McLean looked like he was well on his way to scoring his second season win in the 4-Cylinders 15-lap feature. McLean was hooked up for eight laps as Aidan Fletcher fought to catch him. On a restart, Fletcher pushed hard on the outside to scoop up the point; he was flawless as Cody Sager challenged for the lead. Fletcher went on to the winner’s circle for the third time this season, with Sager in second. Tyson Gregory was third, Coleson Gregory fourth and Carlee Gilkes fifth.
Delbianco is Van-tastic
Megan Golden and Autumn MacGregor led 15 minivans to the green flag in a wild 15-lap affair. On Lap 2, Eric Delbianco and his passenger Spencer Howard jumped into the lead on the inside of turn four. Delbianco was fast and furious as he charged to victory lane, with Tom Grant hot on his heels. Mike Perry placed third, Chris Lammle fourth and Golden fifth.
