PETERBOROUGH, ON (August 28, 2018)- Its all come down to this. The 2018 regular season is about to wrap-up, with track titles decided during the Championship Clash, Saturday, September 1, at Peterborough Speedway.
The track’s hometown Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock, Jiffy Lube Mini Stock, Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Truck, Super Stock and Late Model divisions will be joined by the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series to settle this year’s championship fights, with the five weekly classes at the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road each running Top 10 shootouts for bonus bucks and bragging rights.
Track owner and promoter J.P. says its an exciting way to drop the curtain on another great season.
“Teams in each division have enjoyed a strong campaign and fans have been treated to some outstanding battles on a weekly basis,” Josiasse said. “It seems like the schedule rolls-by faster and faster every year. Once the checkered flag waves, we’ll start planning for the 26th edition of the Autumn Colours Classic.”
Josiasse says it doesn’t look like any of the point chases will be decided until the final laps of the night.
The big story of the year is Ryan Oosterholt, who is in the running for championship season in the Bone Stock, Mini Stock and Renegade Truck divisions. He unofficially holds an advantage of more than 20 points in at least two of the three classes. Bailey Jacobs has a 14 point lead over Mark Gordon in the Super Stock title chase, while Dan McHattie has a 50 point Late Model cushion on James Horner and Amanda Balson going into the last point night of the year.
