Peterborough, ON (June 17, 2017)- Seasons are about to change and as spring transitions to summer there is still plenty of short track action on the agenda at Canada’s Toughest 1/3-Mile Paved Oval. Saturday, June 17 the APC Pro Late Model tour brought 100 laps of excitement to a show that also included the home track Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Truck and Thunder Car divisions at Peterborough Speedway.

Rob Richards and Steve Mayhew brought the Thunder Car field to the line to kick-off the night’s feature race action. An early yellow flag before a lap had been scored caused a complete restart and James Townsend jumped out to the lead a few laps later. Anthony DiBello was marching toward the front and moved into second spot with 11 laps on the board and took the lead with less than a handful of circuits remaining. Townsend held-on for second at the checkers, with Dan Archibald, Fedele DiBello and Richards following the lead duo across the stripe.

The Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Truck pack came from the staging area with Carson Hennessy and Stacy Switzer on the front row for their feature race. Tim Burke used lapped traffic to his advantage and took the top spot as the scoreboard showed seven complete and never looked back. Switzer, Hennessy, Stephen Bierworth and Brandon Vennor rounded-out the top five.

Keith Parkes and Jake Kelly brought the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun crew to the Great Canadian RV green flag for their 20 lapper. Kelly took the lead with three laps down and despite a strong run by last week’s main event winner Sean Kennedy, made it to Dart Heating & Air Conditioning victory lane for his first win of the year. ‘Pops’ MacDonald was second, with Kennedy, Jeremy Kelly and Parkes next to cross the line.

For the third straight event of the season, Brandon Watson took the win in the APC Pro Late Model main event. Shawn McGlynn, reigning series champion Andrew Gresel, Peterborough’s Chris Mitchell and last year’s Autumn Colours Classic Pro Late Model winner Willie Reyns of Baltimore, ON completed the top five. The full race report and results can be found at www.apcracingseries.com.

Dan Archibald took a pair of Thunder Car qualifiers, with the others going to Fedele and Anthony DiBello. Tim Burke and Carson Hennessy split the Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Truck heats. Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun preliminary rounds went to Malcolm ‘Pops’ MacDonald, Sean Kennedy and Jeremy Kelly with a pair.
