@PtboSpeedway • Peterborough, ON (July 4, 2015)- Peterborough Speedway pulled the cover off a new month on Saturday, July 4 as the Mini Stock, Renegade Truck and Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Model teams were joined by the INEX Ontario Legends and Ontario Modifieds Racing Series for an exciting night of edge of your seat action.

Feature race action got underway with a 20 lapper for the Mini Stocks, with Dwight Lavoie and Steven Brier on the front row. The pack was working through the backmarkers with just six laps on the scoreboard, as Lavoie had a four-car battle in his rear-view mirror. Almonte, Ontario’s Nolan Gould grabbed the top spot at halfway, with current point leader Tyler Junkin chasing his back bumper. With drivers fighting for position throughout the pack, the feature ran caution free with Gould taking the win over Junkin. Brandon Hannah, Lavoie and Donovan Price finished out the top five.

Billy O’Hara Jr. and opening night feature winner Tim Burke brought the Renegade Truck division to the Great Canadian RV green flag for a 15 lap affair. After a rough start that saw former track champion Bill O’Hara sent off the track for rough driving, things settled down with Chris Burrage taking his first feature win over Tim Burke and Jack Dallin.

Mark Gordon and Matt Spence brought the field of close to 15 Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Model teams from the staging area for their 25 lap headline dance. As the pack had barely taken the green flag, Spence was sent spinning into the second turn wall after contact from Jack Horner. With 11 laps complete, Tyler Betts tapped Mike Wallace to bring out a yellow flag.

Under the gentleman’s rule, Betts accepted responsibility for the incident and Wallace – who was running second – got his spot back. 17 laps showed on the scoreboard when Jeff Toms was sent spinning coming off the second turn. Gordon led every lap of the show for his first win of the season. Dan McHattie was second, with Al Shepstone, Dave Morgan and Betts following the lead duo across the line.

Alex Pacheco from Charlotte, North Carolina and Kevin Foisy brought the INEX Ontario Legends Series drivers to the stripe for their 25 lap feature. Pacheco, Nicholas Ledson and Foisy took off early, with Brian Saunders, Dave Riopelle and Cole Ledson chasing the lead trio. As the leaders scored the seventh lap, something broke on the #11 machine, sending Michael Glaze into the third turn wall. The driver was unhurt, but the car was unable to continue.
