@Speedway660 • Geary, NB (June 27, 2015)- On Saturday night Lonnie Sommerville became the first Re/Max Group Four Realty Pro Stock driver to win two 50 lap features at Speedway 660 in 2015. But it wasn’t easy for the Barnesville, New Brunswick driver who just won his first feature of the season last week.
“We had to work harder tonight than we did last Saturday night, it was like driving on black ice because the car was slipping and sliding the whole race” said Sommerville from the Riverview Ford Victory Lane. “To win two weeks in a row in this tough Pro Stock division is a big accomplishment and I really want to thank my crew and especially Bob Colqhoun, from Pub’s Drive Thru Bottle Exchange for all he has done over the years to support my racing efforts.”
While Sommerville celebrated a second straight win, Paul Gahan and Dave O’Blenis both were happy with their second and third place finishes. It was the best finish of the season for both veteran drivers. Matt Harris and Brady Creamer won the Pro Stock heat races.
Rob Raynes started off the night by winning his Street Stock heat race and followed it up with a big win in their 50 lap feature!
There were two other 50 lap features on Saturday night.
Rob Raynes continued his strong start to 2015 by winning the DMR Auto Sales & Service Street Stock feature. Rookie Courtney O’Blenis had an incredible second place finish, while Roger Slocum came home third. Raynes and Tyler Seveck won the Street Stock heat races.
“Fifty laps in a Street Stock is a long, hard run and I’m happy to win tonight and glad we went caution free in the race” said Raynes. “I want to congratulate Courtney for her great run tonight and of course Roger is always a contender in these Street Stock races.”
The Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooters had fans on the edge of their seat in their 50 lap feature. Twenty cars started the race but several were forced to drop out because of mechanical issues. When the dust and smoked cleared the air, Kyle McKinnon went to victory lane. Matt Crocker was second, while Malcolm Suley drove to a third place finish. Crocker and Courtney Barton were the heat winners.
Kyle MacKinnon ends up in victory lane after a strong run in the Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooter 50 lap feature.
“It’s a lot to ask these little four cylinder, front wheel drives to run 50 laps and I’m pretty pleased our car held together” said MacKinnon. “A lot of good cars didn’t make it to the checkers and I’m not so sure we would have won if Matt hadn’t run short on fuel on the last lap.”
A couple of veterans took the top two spots in the Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman 40 lap feature. Randy Moore won the race, while Richard Atkinson was second, just ahead of Drew Greenlaw. Moore and Matt Rodgers were the Sportsman heat winners.
Braden Langille continued his dominance in the West Wood Estates Bandolero division. The youngster, from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, won the feature finishing ahead of Ashton Tucker and MacKenzie Brewer. Langille also won the Bando heat race.
Next week the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour heads to Speedway 660.
The Cummins 100 is the only Maritime Tour race of the season in the Geary Woods. Fans will also see racing in the DMR Auto Sales & Service Street Stock and Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman divisions.
