GEARY, NB (July 22, 2017) – It was Christmas in July on Saturday night at Speedway 660 and John Rankin continued his amazing season by winning his second big Sportsman race of the year.

The young driver from St. Martins, New Brunswick drove to victory lane in the Firecracker 150 after winning the Martin’s Home Heating 100 back in June. Alexandra O’Blenis was second in the race, while Laurie Cormier finished third. Matt Maillet, George Jamieson and Rankin won the qualifying heat races while Cormier won a special contingency award in memory of the late Glyn Nott Sr.

“Laurie passed me for the lead early in the second half of the race and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get it back, but we ran hard and made the car stick on the outside groove to claim the win” said Rankin. “Our goal was to win one of these big races this year and to take the Martin’s Home Heating 100 and the Firecracker 150 is pretty amazing.”

The RE/MAX Group Four Realty Pro Stock drivers put on a great show in their 50 lap feature. Dustin Tucker outran Dave O’Blenis to win his first ever feature, while Derek Christie drove home third. O’Blenis and Christie won the Pro Stock heat races.

“We’ve come close to winning a feature before but tonight we finally got it done and I want to thank my Grandfather and Father for all they’ve done to support my racing career” Tucker said. “Dave and I raced each other hard and to be able to win my first ever feature in a battle against a five time champion is something I’ll always remember.”

Luc McLaughlin won the DMR Auto Sales Street Stock 30 lap feature on Saturday night. Roger Slocum and Destiny Enkel finished second and third while McLaughlin and Shawn Hyslop won the heat races.
