The day kicked off with the Hotch’s Auto Parts Junior Enduro Race. Participants ranging in age from 14 to 18 took the first green flag of the day on a slippery surface that had been watered naturally by Mother Nature.  The 25-lap feature event ended with No. 707 Brock Sallans crossing the finish line first, followed by N0. 18 Carter Rhodes, No. 727 Kaitlyn Lafonte, No. 07 Anthony Rinaldi and rounding out the top 5 was No. 13 Keltin McLean.

The Hotch’s Auto Parts Ladies Enduro was next up and 26 cars took to the track to compete.  This 30-lap feature was fast and the field quickly spread out.  Chantel Golden in the No. 707 succeeded in holding the top position as No. 757 Patricia Maat and No. 613 Stephanie Sambey kept close on her heels.  The top 5 were rounded out with No. 513 Jasmine Pavoni in fourth and No. 69 Patty Simpson in fifth.

With 130 cars lined up on the 1/3rd mile clay oval, the Hotch’s Auto Parts 100 Lap Endurance Race was jammed pack.  Four and five wide these cars were travelling around the track as their scorers persevered through drizzling rain to support their drivers.  No. 11f Adam Flieler was the first to complete 100 laps after a lengthy race.  Next with 98 laps was No. 29k Kenny Ohno Jr and then No. 777 Jan Maat, No. 627 Nate Levac and No. 42jr Aidan Fletcher finished the top five with 94 laps on the books.  Derrick Greig took home the Best Appearing Car accolades in his minion decorated car.

Amongst the fun and excitement of the Enduro Races the Workman OK Tire & Automotive School Bus races were taking place.  The flagship class is always up for entertaining our loyal fans and they do not disappoint for excitement.  The feature event had rookie driver No. 28 Kyle Rhebergen passing veterans and making tracks towards the checkered flag when veteran No. 77 Bernie Rhebergen punted his son out of the lead.  The roars from the fans were fantastic and the entertainment continued until the final flag was thrown. The lineup at the checkered flag was No. 77, No. 44 Jim Perry, No. 28, No. 55 Paul Quick and No. 3 Dean LeClair.

Even though the day was already well on its way the action was still hot on the track.  The Trailer Race took to the track with 7 entries and the finish was determined after 15 laps and only one trailer remained attached.  No. HAF Elaine Brown was a rookie to the event and succeeded in dominating the field.  The Best Appearing Trailer Display was awarded to No. 51 Mike Freeman for his presentation and appearance.

An unbelievable 18 participants lined up to participate in the 10 lap Flag Pole Race.    The crazy antics of this crew was fun to watch and finishing the number of required laps was No. 17a Derek Anderson, No. 80x Jeremy Kelly and No. 7 Austin Simpson.  Long Jump was won after a jump off by No. 29x Ken Ohno Jr and the Brighton Recycling Demo Derby the Conlin Brothers, Frank and Eric finishing 1st and 2nd respectively and John Kehoe coming in 3rd.

Highlights on the day included Promoter Mark Rinaldi attempting to beat the 6 crash cars in the Gauntlet but damage to the limo early put him out of contention.  In an attempt to redeem himself he sought to jump the school bus during the Long Jump Competition.  The long wheel base made it tricky but the entertainment value was second to none. 

With all of this excitement on a damp dreary day, fans and participants stuck it out and enjoyed the day right up until the final flag dropped on the Demo Derby.  The Brighton Speedway will be back at it in the spring of 2019 with a fun filled, action packed schedule of events.  Be sure to like the Facebook page to keep apprised of upcoming sales or information on the next season.

Large crowds took in two nights of high octane racing during the Cool 100 Applefest Shootout Weekend at Brighton Speedway presented by Imagefactor.ca,  Hoosier Tire, VP Race Fuels and Lucas Oil.  The DIRTcar 358 Modifieds headlined the Saturday event in the 75 lap Applefest Shootout along with the Thunder Stock Duel in the Dirt Finale and UMP Canadian Modifieds. To fans delight, the DIRTcar Sportsman Western Series and Northeast Late Model Alliance ran combined events both Friday and Saturday.  The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Club and Comp 4s also engaged in a shootout Friday night. 

Lindberg Wins First Applefest Shootout

The 14th annual Applefest Shootout was led to green by No. 19 Luke Stewart and No. 52 Jessica Power.  The pair battled it out for a few laps of the 75-lap main event but they were no match for No. R70 Ryan Arbuthnot as he moved in and snapped the lead on the 12th time by.  No. 66 Kyle Dingwall, No. 6 Matt Williamson and No. 28z Gary Lindberg also joined in the fray. The halfway point proved to be lucky for Lindberg as he slid into first place and took off.  Hungry to secure two consecutive Applefest victories, Williamson was Lindberg’s toughest contender.  A restart with three laps left set up a perfect shootout to the finish between Lindberg Williamson and Dingwall who was running third.  Linberg jumped back out front in the No. 28z machine on the restart as he cruised to the finish line first.  Dingwall edged out Williamson at the line to take took runner up, No. 47s Corey Wheeler finished fourth and No. 3rs Ryan Susie placed fifth.

Sandercock Sweeps NLMA

The Great Crate Race for the Northeast Late Model Alliance shared centre stage Saturday night as a full field of cars took to the track for a big pay day.  Fulton Speedway driver No. 10 Chris Fleming and No. 57 Charlie Sandercock bolted to the top where they engaged in a side by side duel for the majority of the 50-lap A-Main.  Fleming fought Sandercock from up high but lapped traffic became part of the picture and seemed to work against Flemming.  Sandercock snapped up the lead on the 17th time by and never relinquished the point.  Even after multiple restarts, the Trenton driver checked out, scoring back-to-back NLMA wins on the weekend.  Fleming picked up a well-earned second, No. 29 Phil Potts took third place, No. 12 Kyle Sopaz finished fourth and No. 89 Austin King placed fifth.

The NLMA chase on Friday saw Sandercock face tough competition from No. 88 Adam Turner who took home a solid second place finish.  No. 29 Phil Potts placed third, No. 89 Austin King fourth and No. 46 Brandon Mowat finished fifth.  Mowat went on to win the 358/Late Model 10 Lap Dash for Cash Saturday night.

Rouse and Friesen Dominate In Sportsman

From the drop of the green flag Friday night polesitter No. 88x Xavier Andrews was tough on the bottom while No. 33 Ryan Scott battled from outside for the first 7 laps of the 35 lap feature. The pair went to war while No. 18R Brad Rouse fiercely hunted them down from his fourth starting position.  Rouse stole the lead on lap 15 and never looked back as No. 7 Cody McPherson shot into second trying to catch the 18R machine.  Rouse parked it leaving McPherson to settle for second.  Scott finished third, Andrews took home fourth and No. 8s Justin Sharp was fifth.

No. 17 Tristian Draper and No. 72 James Michael Friesen led the Sportsman field to green in Saturday’s 35-lap feature.  The pair went door to door for 12 thrilling laps until Friesen stomped on the gas and took the lead.  Unable to keep the pace, Draper dropped back to fifth as No. 44F Jonathan Ferguson and No. 7 Cody McPherson engaged with Friesen.  The 72 machine held his own for the next 23 circuits and went on to win the feature.  McPherson was runner-up, Rouse scored third, Ferguson placed fourth and No. 20K Kyle Inman was fifth.
 
Reid takes Duel On The Dirt

No. 14 Chris Dorland and No. 5x Andrew Hennessy took the field of Thunder Stocks to green in the 50-lap Duel on the Dirt Finale.  The two Prince Edward County drivers duelled side by side until a caution slowed the pace on the 8th lap and Hennessy got the advantage on the restart.  Hennessy dominated the chase down low as No. 03 Justin Ramsay battled at his back bumper and No. 85 Austin Reid patiently gained positions from a tacky high side.  From that point Reid slid in to the lead from the outside clinching his first Duel on the Dirt win.  Hennessy scored a well-earned second, Ramsay third, No. 17 Jeff Humphry was fourth and No. 53 Wade Purchase fifth.

In the prelude on Friday No. 03 Justin Ramsay and No. 47x Kyle Pelrine treated fans to a thrilling chase for checkers.  Ramsay strong armed his way past Pelrine on lap 14 and the tension
continued to rise when another caution brought the action to a halt on the last lap.  In a death match to the finish it was Ramsay who waved the checkered flag.  No. 96 Steve Shaw scored second, Pelrine third, No. 85 Austin Reid fourth and No. 51 Mike Freeman fifth.

Mutton Scores Canadian Modified Photo Finish

No. 39 Jonah Mutton jumped on the lead from his second starting position on the first lap of the 25-lap UMP / Canadian Modified feature.  He paced the entire main event as No. 48 Derrick Greig, No. 12 Adam Whaley and No. 3 Nathan Rinaldi and No. 87 Andrew Hennessy flexed their muscles in the rearview.  Hennessy zeroed in and the pair engaged in an exhilarating duel that ended in a photo finish with Mutton tasting victory.  Hennessy earned second, Whaley third, Greig fourth and Rinaldi fifth. 

Polite Parks It

No. 01 Brandon Gregory and No. 75 Kenny Polite led the group of Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock cars to the green flag in the 25-lap feature.  Polite was anything but that as he stole the lead on the 17th trip around and sailed to checkers leaving Gregory to settle for second.  No. 33 Cory Winters placed third, No. J73 Josh Powers was fourth and No. 14 Nathan Berry was fifth.

Checkers Fly For Flieler

No. 14M Joe McNichols and No. 11 Adam Flieler started on the front row for the 25-lap affair.  Flieler was the class of the field and led every lap on route to the victory.  McNichols took second, No. 43 Devon Kippen placed third, No. 22 Keith Dunk fourth and No. 13 Joel Dempster fifth.

BRIGHTON, Ont. – The 51st season at Brighton Speedway has sped by faster than the competition on the track. Although only one weekend of dirt racing remains on the schedule it certainly is a case of ‘saving the best for last’. Cool 100 presents the 14th Annual Applefest Shootout Weekend along with Lucas Oil Products, Coca-Cola, VP Fuels and Image Factor Media.  The action packed two-night program runs Friday, September 21st and Saturday, September 22nd.

The excitement begins on Friday night at 7:00 PM as the DIRTcar Sportsman Series will compete in their first night of back to back series events. Friday will also feature the first of two nights for the Northeast Late Model Alliance as well as a special Comp 4 / Mini Stocks event.  Thunder Stocks will get a warm up for their Saturday night 50 lap event and Friday will mark the second visit of the season by the Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club.

An exciting ALL NEW format is on tap for Saturday.  New this year heats and time trials will begin at 3:00 PM in the afternoon.  After all the heats are complete the speedway will take a short break for track rework as well as redraws for all five divisions will take place in the court yard at 6:00 PM.  Then at 7:00 PM the real action that will include 235 Feature laps will take to the track!  “This new format will allow us to run through the races at a reasonable pace well taking the appropriate time to celebrate the great event that this is. In the past we have had to rush through the events and haven’t event been able to have proper victory lane ceremonies due to time constraints and this will not be an issue with the new start time” states track promoter Mark Rinaldi. 

Saturday will feature the return of the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds as they compete in the $5,000 to win, 75 lap Applefest Shootout. The Northeast Late Model Alliance will return for the 50 lap Great Crate Race. The winner of that event will walk away with $4,000. Saturday will also include three $1,000 to win races as DIRTcar Sportsman Series will return along with the finale for the Insta Insulation  Duel on the Dirt Thunder Stock Series and the Canadian Modified/UMP Modified Showdown.

Six drivers have etched their name in the DIRTcar 358 Modified portion of the Applefest Shootout history books. Mat Williamson won his first Applefest Shootout in 2017 and dethroned the events only three time winner Eric Rudolph (2014, 2015, 2016). Two drivers have won the event twice, including Mario Clair (2007, 2013) and Pete Bicknell (2008, 2010). Kyle Dingwall won the inaugural event in 2005 and Tim O’Brien picked up a victory in 2011. The race was rained out in 2006, 2009 and 2012.

Brent Begolo and Johnathan Ferguson picked up their first Applefest basket of apples in 2017 winning on Friday and Saturday night respectively.  Combined there have been eleven different drivers that have won the DIRTcar Sportsman part of the event. Cody McPherson (2012, 2016) and Gary Lindberg (2014, 2015) are the only two drivers to have won twice. In addition to the 2017 winners, six different drivers including Martin Pelletier (2016), Shane Pecore (2013), Chris Herbison (2010), Nic Cupolo (2009), James Michael Friesen (2008) and Mark D’Ilario (2007) also have a single win in the Sportsman race at Applefest.

The Great Crate Race has seen four different winners over the first six editions of the race. Charlie Sanderock is the most recent winner and has managed to claim the checkers three years in a row (2015, 2016, 2017) and has not lost yet this season in the combined NLMA events picking up the most recent win back in August at the Cornwall Motor speedway.  Dale Caswell of West Monroe, NY is the only other repeat winner with back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014 and will be on hand to try and de-throne Sandercock in the 2018 running of the event.  Lee Gill of Lafargeville, NY won the inaugural race in 2011 while Chuck Meyers claimed the victory in 2012.

Rayner roars to victory lane

No. 9 Bryan Sudsbury looked like he was well on his way to claiming his first dirt career win at Brighton Speedway Saturday night.  Sudbury led the field of Vanderlaan Pro Late Models to green and dominated 25 laps of the 30-lap feature while No. 55 Bradley Rayner took solid swings from behind.  The pair battled side by side for first with No. 77 Caley Weese chasing close in third.  With five laps to go, a caution slowed the action and Rayner leaped into the lead.  The rookie Codrington driver held his line at the bottom while Weese rode the cushion treating race fans to a riveting duel.  In a photo finish, Rayner scored his first career win a mere .064 seconds ahead of Weese.  Sudsbury secured a hard fought third place finish, No. 1 Andy Mayhew took home fourth.  No. 09 Robbie Wilson who battled hard to fend off a field of veterans in the back of the field earned fifth.

No. 4B Mack DeMan and No.1 Holly Porter brought the sprints to the green flag for the 20-lap main event. Deman jumped out to an early lead, but before the first lap was completed a caution quickly slowed the pace.  A complete restart followed with Deman and Porter going to war in a thrilling side by side battle for the lead while No. 4 Hannah Ferrell and No. 87x Shone Evans went head to head for fourth place.  On the ninth time by, Deman stomped on the gas and took off as Evans drifted by No.5D Jacob Dykstra on the high side stealing third.  Evans rapidly moved into second and zeroed in on Deman.  Evans continued to work the cushion in an attempt to slide into the lead but the move was no match for the Mississauga driver as he drifted on the inside blocking the 87x at every turn.  With two laps to go, a caution reset the field but it didn’t faze Deman as he sailed to victory lane leaving Evans and Dykstra to duke it out for second.  Dykstra scored second, Evans third, Porter fourth and No. 68 Aaron Turkey placed fifth.

O’Blenis bags first season win

No. 29 Rich Sanders and No. 3 Nathan Rinaldi took the Bainer’s Oil GARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds to green in the 25-lap main event.  Rinaldi pounced on the lead on lap two initiating an intense battle with Sanders.  By lap six, Sanders punched on the gas snapping the lead back from Rinaldi.  Sanders had his work cut out for him trying to hold off No. 32 Doug O’Blenis, No. 87 Andrew Hennessy and No. 39 Jonah Mutton as they closed in.  O’Blenis drove hard from up to top, snapped the lead on the 16th lap and never looked back.  The Napanee native cruised to victory lane securing his first season win with Hennessy in second.  Mutton placed third, No. 12 Adam Whaley finished fourth and Sanders earned fifth.


Mowat gets it done

After a number of top five finishes, No. 2 Warren Mowat was looking to finally have a checkered flag for himself Saturday in the Brighton Automotive Thunder Stock 20-lap feature.  The Trenton driver vaulted over pole sitter Brain Mitts from his second starting position at the drop of the green flag.  A couple of cautions brought the action to a halt at the beginning offering No. 72 Doug Anderson the chance to power his way up into the top five from his 11th starting position.  For 16 thrilling laps Anderson hounded Mowat’s back bumper.  Mowat wouldn’t be frightened and used the inside line to command the race as Anderson, Chris Dorland, Austin Reid and Wade Purchase battled it out behind him.  Mowat drove to victory lane for the first time this season.  A win he dedicated to his late grandfather-in-law, chief pit crew member and local racing legend the late Willard Cormier.  Anderson clinched second, No. 14 Dorland placed third, No. 85 Reid finished fourth and No. 53 Purchase fifth.

Flieler flies to victory lane again

No. 11 Adam Flieler wasted no time muscling his way to the top from his fifth starting position on the lead lap of the Bill John’s Comp 4 20-lap main event.  As soon as the green flag dropped Flieler took off with No. 43 Devon Kippen and No. 14 Matthew Moore determined to catch up.  With 13 laps remaining the three got bottled up behind lap cars which slowed the pace.  Determined to get back to victory lane, Flieler pushed on to victory lane leaving Moore to settle for second.  Kippen took home third, No. 0 Tyler French placed fourth and No. 50 Willy Bulten earned fifth.

ACTION SPRINT TOUR READIES FOR INAUGURAL TRIP TO BRIGHTON SPEEDWAY ON AUGUST 18

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 14, 2018) – The Action Sprint Tour powered by RaceRivalz.com resumes action on its inaugural 2018 season with its first ever visit to Brighton Speedway on Saturday, August 18 for Pinty’s Delicious Foods and Sticker Revival night. The race marks the eighth race of the season for the tour this season and the final race of a stretch of four races in four weeks.

Brighton Speedway has hosted 360 Sprint Car racing for several decades, but this Saturday’s visit by the Action Sprint Tour marks the first visit for Crate Sprint Car racing to the one-third mile Eastern Ontario oval located just off the shores of Lake Ontario.

The race will be particularly exciting for Gores Landing, Ontario driver Brandon Murrell. Murrell is one of only a few drivers on the tour, including veteran Sprint Car racer Ryan Hunsinger, that have definitive experience at Brighton. The former Brighton Thunder Stock racer is set to make his first career Sprint Car start at his former home track this weekend.

New Point Leader

Last Sunday night, Shone Evans added his name to the record books as the first three-race winner on the Action Sprint Tour after his win at Humberstone Speedway. Evans was also the first driver to win back-to-back races on the tour earlier this season when he won at Merrittville Speedway on May 21 and then South Buxton Raceway on June 9.

Evans’ most recent victory gave him the series point lead, but the advantage is just two points over Aaron Turkey entering the final three races of the season. Turkey has a pair of wins to his credit this season. Jacob Dykstra, another two-time winner this season, has vaulted into third in the standings on the strength of two wins and a top-five finish in his last three races. He sits three points ahead of Jesse Costa while the aforementioned Hunsinger sits fifth.

Steven Beckett of Fonthill, Ont. hodls the sixth spot while Brad Herron is seventh. Dereck Lemyre, Paul Klager and Jerry Hill round out the top-10 after seven races this season.

Saturday night’s event at Brighton also features Late Models, Canadian Modifieds, Thunder Stock and Comp 4 racing. Race time is 7:00pm with hot laps scheduled for 6:00pm. Adult grandstand admission is $15.00. Additional event information is available at www.brightonspeedway.ca.

Brighton Speedway’s final fan appreciation night of 2018 hosted a full grandstand with over 60 cars dialed in for heart pumping racing action. The night, in support of the Canadian National Autism Foundation, was presented by Archer’s Poultry Kids Race for Autism and Comfort Zone Heating and Air Conditioning.  Fans had the opportunity to meet drivers track side at intermission for autographs, pictures and candy.

Sandercock secures second Triple Crown

No. 57 Charlie Sandercock and No. 46 Brandon Mowat led the Vanderlaan Building Products Late Models to green in the 35-lap Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Race 3.  From the drop of the green flag, the pair stomped on the gas, waging a thrilling side by side battle with No. 89 Adam Turner chasing close behind.  A five-car pileup at the back on the first lap quickly slowed the action.  On the restart Mowat worked the cushion on a tacky track to try and move past Sandercock.  It seemed to work for him but then on the 8th time by, the 57 machine took off, leaving Mowat and Turner in a battle for second.  No. 12 Kyle Sopaz flexed his muscle to settle in to second as three more cautions slowed the pace.  With two laps to go, Sandercock took off again and never let off the throttle sailing to victory lane, securing his fifth season win.  Sopaz and Turner had the best battle of the event as the two raced back and forth for the runner-up spot. Turner took second, Sopaz in third almost at the line, Mowat placed fourth and No. 5 Steve Baldwin earned fifth.

Handley ends season drought 

No. 37 Ronald Linde and No. 14 Brandt Graham took the field of OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds to the green flag in the 25-lap feature.  From his third starting position, No. 91 Kraig Handley muscled his way to the top on lap three.  Once in the lead, Handley never relinquished the point determined to earn his first second win as No. 39 Jonah Mutton, No. 32 Doug O’Blenis, No. 12 Adam Whaley and No. 87 Andrew Hennessy challenged Linde from behind.  In a bold move, the pair drove hard from either side of Linde making it three wide on turn one as they snapped second and third setting their sights on Handley.    With Linde now out of the way, a caution eventually slowed the pace on the 13th lap giving Mutton, Whaley, Hennessy and O’Blenis the chance to catch up to Handley.  But the No. 91 was untouchable.  Handley took off again to a dominating first place finish with Mutton earning second.  Whaley placed third, Hennessy in fourth and No. 07 Curtis King took home fifth.

Anderson racks up another win 

The Brighton Automotive Thunder Stock feature was led to green No. 29 Brian Mitts and No. 46 Adam Switzer.  No. 53 Wade Purchase was quick to pounce on the lead on the first lap of the 20-lap feature.  The move kicked off the beginning of an exhilarating feud for first between Purchase, No. 51 Mike Freeman, No. 48 Adam Wells and No. 03 Justin Ramsay.  The four went at it as No. 72 Doug Anderson stormed his through the pack from his 13th starting position to join the fight on the 8th time by.  Anderson waged a door to door war with Wells before a caution reset the field.  Anderson jumped on the lead as Purchase tried to get it back.  The pair duked it out for six laps with Anderson cruising to victory lane leaving Purchase to settle for second.  Ramsay picked up third, Freeman fourth and Wells placed fifth.

Moore earns one more       

No. 52 Doug Galt and No. 17E Emily Peterson ran the field of Bill John’s Comp 4s to the green flag in the 15-lap main event.  Both eager to return to victory lane, No. 14 Matthew Moore and No. 0 Tyler French wasted little time working their way into the top three.  On the fourth lap Moore and French engaged in dramatic side by side duel. French lost control off of turn two pushing him back three spots as Moore took off.  French worked hard to regain runner up but when the checkers flew, Moore had won his second season win.  French placed second, No. Adam Flieler earned third, No. 50 Willy Bulten took home fourth and No. 43 Devon Kippen secured fifth. 

Gregory takes Thunder Stock Mechanics Race

The mechanics behind the Thunder Stock cars got their chance behind the wheel for the 10-lap race at the end of the night.  Brandon Gregory drove Brain Mitts No. 29 to victory lane ahead of Adam Davidson in the No. 19 and Kyle Anderson in the No. 72.

French Finishes First in Comp 4 Mechanics Race 

Comp 4 mechanics were also awarded with the opportunity to hit the track Saturday for a 10-lap feature.  Josh French parked his brother Tyler French’s No. 0 in victory lane ahead of Jamie Sandercock in the No. 17E and Travis Mclean in the No. 43.

On a hot night, fans were treated to even hotter side by side racing action at Brighton Speedway Saturday night.  The popular Gord's Water Vantastics returned bringing another full card of racing action.  The night presented by Bellevue Fabricating and Campbellford Chrysler also featured the Lava Clean Comp 4 Triple Crown Race 3, Late Models, Canadian Modifieds, Thunder Stocks and Stingers.

Baldwin brings home third win

No. 5 Steve Baldwin earned prime real estate by virtue of a heat race win and used the advantage to pace all 30 laps of the Vanderlaan Building Products Late Model feature. The Trenton driver was hooked up from the drop of the green flag, determined to get back to victory lane as No. 09 Robbie Wilson and No. 15 Eli Mayhew went to battle for second off in the distance.  Wilson won that round but a caution ignited No. 12 Kyle Sopaz who took over runner up at the halfway point.  Sopaz had his work cut out for him chasing Baldwin as Wilson went to war with No. 57 Charlie Sandercock for third.  Wilson put up a hard-fought battle but Sandercock was relentless passing him on the high side.  At this point Sopaz and Baldwin were too far gone for Sandercock to catch.  Baldwin cruised to the finish line first with Sopaz in second.  Sandercock placed third with Wilson in fourth and No. 89 Austin King fifth.

Wild win for Whaley

No. 3 Nathan Rinaldi led the field of Bainer’s OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds to green in the 25-lap main event and was dominate for half of the race.  The 15-year-old Brighton driver was unshaken as veteran drivers No. 07 Curtis King, No. 29 Rich Sanders, No. 12 Adam Whaley and No. 87 Andrew Hennessy battled it out from behind. On the 14th time by Whaley snatched the lead forcing Rinaldi into a fight for runner up with Hennessy.  The returning champ was ruthless on the bottom as Rinaldi adamantly held him off nine laps.  On the final time by Hennessy passed Rinaldi but Whaley was already well on his way to victory lane securing his first win of the season.  Hennessy took home second with Rinaldi earning his first career podium finish in third, No. 39 Jonah Mutton placed fourth and King in fifth.

Reid reels in another win

No. 85 Austin Reid brought the packed field of Brighton Automotive Thunder Stocks to green and dominated the entire 20-lap feature.  Warren Mowat was the first driver to give Reid a run for his money when the No. 2 machine slid into second on the 7th lap.  Wrestling their way up from mid-pack No. 72 Doug Anderson and No. 53 Wade Purchase and soon paid Mowat a visit and the three grappled it out for second.  Pushing Mowat back into fourth, Anderson and Purchase continued to duke it out door to door as Reid went on uncontested.  Pressure reared its ugly head for Reid on the last lap when a caution slowed the field.  Reid stomped on the gas and flew to the finish line forcing Anderson to settle for second.  No. 03 Justin Ramsay who started 14th earned a hard fought third place finish, Mowat took home fourth and No. 51 Mike Freeman placed fifth.

Flieler flies to the finish line

No. 11 Adam Flieler jumped on the lead from his second starting spot on the one the first lap of the Lava Clean Comp 4 Triple Crown Race 3.  Determined to get back to victory lane Flieler checked out dominating the entire 20-lap main event.  No. 50 Willy Bulten held on to his runner up position as No. 0 Tyler French muscled his way up from mid-pack.  On the 12th lap Bulten started to feel pressure from French.  Unable to keep the pace Bulten fell back into third as French moved in to take second.  Unfortunately for French, Flieler was well out of sight and sailed to victory lane forcing the No. 0 machine to settle for second.  Bulten took home third place bragging rights, No. 13 Joel Dempster placed fourth and No. 43 Devon Kippen earned fifth.

Vantastic night for LeClair

No. 55 Tristan LeClair was unstoppable in the Gord’s Water Vantastics 12-lap feature.  On the first lap, LeClair pounced on the lead from his second starting position with passenger John Cormier by his side and they never looked back.  In a thrilling feature and much to fans delight, No. 01 Shawn LeClair and No 121 Hunter Triemstra went door to door out for second with No. 47 Adam Switzer hot on their heels.  Tristan LeClair secured the feature win with Shawn Leclair settling for second and Triemstra taking third.  Switzer finished fourth and No. 12 Rodney Conley placed fifth.

Phillips and MacGregor secure solid wins

No. 70 Nate Phillips Jr. took the field of Quinte Junior Septic Stingers to green in a feature that got off to a rough start as soon as the drivers rounded turn two.  Four drivers got tangled up on the high side with three taking a dip in the creek.  Once the action resumed, Phillips Jr. flew to the finish line leaving No. 7 Cody Driscoll to take home second.  No. 42JR Aiden Fletcher finished third. 

It looked like No. 25 Lawrence Evenden might be well on his way to securing his first Quinte Septic Super Stinger win of the season during the 12-lap feature.  Then on the fifth time by No. 19 Del MacGregor moved up and snatched the lead.  The two battled it out with No. 11 Jim Kotsilidis but MacGregor was unforgiving as he roared to victory lane.  Kotsilidis secured second, Evenden placed third, No. 95 Chris Lammle and No. 7 Rick Philips won fifth.

The winged warriors brought their attitude and a packed enthusiastic crowd to Brighton Speedway on Saturday night.

The night presented by Rapid Rad and Classic Rock 107.9 saw a full field of 19 Southern Ontario Sprint cars dial in along with a full racing card featuring the Larry’s Towing Thunder Stock Triple Crown, Late Models, Canadian Modifieds and Comp 4's.

Ryan Turner secures first career win at Brighton

No. 0 Holly Porter jumped on the lead from her second starting position on the first lap and never let off the throttle for much of the Southern Ontario Sprints 25-lap feature event.  Porter was fierce as she dominated and drifted through the turns making it difficult for her opponents to catch her.  No. 91 Ryan Turner put the hammer down and strong armed his way from fifth into a side by side battle with polesitter No. 21 Kyle Phillips for runner up.  Phillips was fast but he couldn’t keep the pace against Turner and his brother No. 97 Cory Turner who was determined to make it two in a row at Brighton.  Heavy lap traffic slowed the leaders and with four laps to go Ryan Turner snatched the lead from Porter.  Turner took off scoring his first career win in front of an excited crowd and pit crew.  Cory Tuner picked up the second-place finish, Porter earned a much deserved third.  No. 84 Tyler Rand placed fourth and No. 38 Tyler Hendricks finished fifth.

Sandercock racks up another win 

No. 57 Charlie Sandercock led the field of Vanderlaan Late Models to green in the 30-lap feature and never let off the loud pedal.  Determined to get back to victory lane the Trenton driver took off from the drop of the flag as No. 09 Robbie Wilson and No. 5 Steve Baldwin waged a thrilling side by side battle for runner up.  No. 29 Phil Potts joined in the fight and the trio treated fans to an intoxicating three-way duel.  Baldwin got tangled up with Wilson and No. 1 Andy Mayhew rounding turn four forcing the No. 5 and 09 machines out of contention for the night.  Potts moved into runner up and entered into combat with Sandercock for the lead.  Committed to secure his fourth win of the season Sandercock went off to park it in victory lane leaving Potts to settle for second. Mayhew took home third.  Solid and consistent right to the finish No. 46 Brandon Mowat and No. 77 Caley Weese earned fourth and fifth place finishes respectively.

Mutton makes it to victory lane again 

Polesitter No. 39 Jonah Mutton dominated all 25-laps of the Bainer’s Oil GARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modified main event.  After securing his first career modified win two weeks ago, the Brighton driver was intent on parking it again as he held off veteran drivers No. 07 Curtis King and No. 29 Rich Sanders.  Mutton and King went door to door in a brawl that saw King lose power and on the 10th time by the No. 07 pitted due to mechanical issues.  No. 48 Derrick Greig and No. 12 Adam Whaley pounced on the opportunity to clash with Mutton for first while heavy hitters No. 87 Andrew Hennessy and No. 91 Kraig Handley muscled their way up from the back.  With five laps left to go Hennessy and Kraig pushed Greig and Whaley back into fourth and fifth as they tried to intimate Mutton from the rearview.  The tension continued to mount as a caution brought the chase to a halt on the last lap. At the drop of the flag Mutton stomped on the gas and flew to victory lane picking up his second season win.  Handley took home second, Hennessy third, Greig fourth and No. 32 Doug O’Blenis fifth.

Ramsay returns in Triple Crown Win

No. 03 Justin Ramsay occupied pole position in Larry’s Towing Triple Crown race 3 for the Brighton Automotive Thunder Stocks and never relinquished the point.  The Belleville driver was unfazed as No.72 Doug Anderson and No. 85 Austin Reid brawled at his back bumper.  On the 15th trip around mechanical problems proved unlucky for Reid and on the restart, Anderson set his sights on Ramsay again.  The only two drivers with triple crown wins to their names this season went to war bent on settling the score.  Set on waiving the checkered flag, Ramsay held on to the inside line and sailed to victory lane leaving Anderson to settle for a hard fought second.  No. 48 Adam Wells went on to take third, No. 28 Dan Insley placed fourth and No. 14 Chris Dorland finished fifth.

Four in a row for French 

It took just six laps for No. 0 Tyler French to come from behind and snatch the lead from pole sitter No. 80 Nick Morton in the Bill John’s Comp 4 feature.  From his eleventh starting position, the Belleville driver forced his way to the top and led the remaining 14 laps of the caution riddled 20 lap event.  No. 11 Adam Flieler also moved his way up from the back of the pack but it would be No. 43 Devon Kippen that proved to be French’s toughest competitor.  A steadfast French held his own and took off to victory lane scoring his fourth consecutive win. Kippen picked up second, No. 13 Joel Dempster won third, No. 52 Doug Galt placed fourth and No. 50 Willy Bulten finished fifth.

Seven Divisions of Action Packed Excitement

Sopaz scored second season win

It only took two laps for No. 12 Kyle Sopaz muscle his way up from his fourth place starting position and run away with the lead.  Sopaz’s biggest contender throughout the 30-lap Vanderlann Building Supplies Pro Late Model feature was that of No. 55 Bradley Rayner.  On a mission to secure his second season win Sopaz worked hard to distance himself from the rest of the field.  He continued to dominate the race even after a pair of cautions slowed the pace.  Rayner never lost sight of Sopaz as he went to battle with No. 46 Brandon Mowat to keep his runner up rights.  On the 25th time by Rayner stole the lead.  When it looked like victory was within his grasp, a caution broke the action with two laps to go.  Sopaz jumped hard on the lead sailing to victory lane leaving Rayner to settle for a solid second.  No. 89 Austin King who was fierce and consistent the entire race took home third, Mowat earned fourth and No.1 Andy Mayhew in fifth.

Hennessy hooks Triple Crown

No. 32 Doug O’Blenis and No. 3 Nathan Rinaldi led the field of Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified’s to green in the ABC Taxi 30-lap Triple Crown Race 3.

For over half the race the pair treated race fans to a thrilling side by side battle as veterans No. 12 Adam Whaley, No. 87 Andrew Hennessy, No 91. Kraig Handley along with No. 14 Brandt Graham flexed their muscles in the rear view.  Hennessy eventually found an opening and pushed his way into runner up where he and Whaley took turns at the lead.  Handley got tangled up crash and was forced to take his machine to the pits.  Quick work by his pit crew had him back out in the field a lap down.  Handley was racing hard to be the first car a lap down, in order to be receive the lucky dog and he did.  From there Handley put the hammer down and strong armed his way into runner up with two laps to go.  Hennessy determined to get back to his winning ways parked it in victory lane with Handley taking home a hard fought second.  Whaley placed third, O’Blenis fourth, No. 48 Derrick Greig finished fifth.

Purchase pays a visit to victory lane

No. 14 Chris Dorland pounced on the lead early from his fifth starting position and looked like he was well on his way to clinching his first Brighton Automotive Thunder Stock feature win Saturday night.  On lap seven of the 20 lap feature, No. 85 Austin Reid snagged Dorland’s spot but only for a lap.  A hard spin out off of turn one cost Reid the lead as he went head first into No. 69 Steven Stachura.  With Dorland back in the lead again he still had his work cut out for him as No. 51 Mike Freeman and No. 53 Wade Purchase closed in.  It took Purchase only two laps to seize his opportunity and stealing Dorland’s thunder.  Purchase took off to victory lane leaving Dorland and No. 48 Ronnie Wadsworth to duke it out for second.  It worked out in Dorlad’s favour as he won his first runner up bragging rights of the season.  Wadsworth took third, Freeman fourth and No. 17 Jeff Humphry scored fifth. 

Wild win for Winters

The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club brought 15 cars to Brighton Speedway in their first appearance of the season.  No. 28 Pete Stappen and No.3 Brian Billings led the field to the green flag in the 20 lap feature.  No. 33 Cory Winters pushed his way into the lead from his third place starting point on the third trip around and dominated the rest of the chase to victory lane.

French scores three-peat 

From the moment the green flag dropped on the Bill John’s Comp 4 feature, No. 0 Tyler French never let off the throttle.  It took a short four laps for French to work his way up from his 10th starting position into runner-up.  A mechanic issue for polesitter No. 52 Doug Galt forced him out of contention moving French into the lead.  From there French and No. 11 Adam Flieler went door to door for first.  French parked his No.0 machine for the third straight night, making Flieler settle for a well earned second.  No. 43 Devon Kippen who proved a strong competitor placed third, No. 13 Joel Dempster was fourth and No. 14 Matthew Moore in fifth.

The Southern Ontario Sprints invaded Brighton Speedway for Round Two of the 2018 tour on Saturday night.  The 20 sprint cars and a full field of stock cars in attendance raced before a full crowd at the one-third mile oval Vanzuylen Tire & Alignment and Electro Cables night.

Turner takes checkers

No. 97 Cory Turner brought the Southern Ontario Sprints to green and he never let off the loud pedal.  The Caistor Centre native dominated the entire 25-lap feature.  On the second time by, No. 10 Mitch Brown worked his way into runner up from his third starting position and remained consistent on a mission to catch Turner.  Chris Jones was fierce in his 11J machine as he worked his way into the top five coming to rest in between the Brown brothers.  Mitch Brown and Jones engaged in a thrilling side by side battle for 13 laps.  Turner disappeared in lapped traffic with three to go as he struggled to navigate through a cluster of slower cars as Brown and Jones started to close.  On the 23rd lap No. 15 Mike Farrell and No. 55 Mike Thorne came together on turn 2 forcing a caution.  Resetting the field worked to Turner’s advantage as he no longer had to fight through traffic.  Turner sailed to victory lane clinching his first 2018 season win at Brighton leaving Brown to settle for a well-earned second and Jones a hard fought third place finish.  No.1-10 Jake Brown finished fourth and No. 91 Ryan Turner fifth.

Baldwin brings home second win

Pole sitter No. 29 Phil Potts earned prime real estate by virtue of a heat-race win and used the advantage to pace 24 laps of the 35-lap Hotch’s Auto Parts Late Model Triple Crown Race 2.  Potts jumped out to an early lead over second-place starter No. 55 Bradley Rayner and it grew to five car lengths.  No. 5 Steve Baldwin jockeyed his way into third spot from his fifth place starting point to duel with Rayner and No. 1 Andy Mayhew.  Like a thief in the night, No. 57 Charlie Sandercock came from behind strong arming his way from the back row into second on the 16th lap to duke it out with Potts.  Sandercock chased Potts with Baldwin right in the rear view.  Baldwin snapped the lead on the 25th lap and took off.  With two laps to go, Sandercock returned on the high side to snatch top spot. But it didn't last long. On the last lap Baldwin took it back and cruised to victory lane clinching his second season win leaving Sandercock to settle for second.  Mayhew earned third, Potts fourth and No. 46 Brandon Mowat finished fifth.       

Mutton scores first season win

Brighton’s Jonah Mutton occupied pole position in his No. 39 for the 25-lap Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified feature and never relinquished the point.

Mutton and No. 32 Doug O’Blenis went head to head for 13 electrifying laps.  The pair were unfazed as No. 14 Brandt Graham, No. 87 Andrew Hennessy, No. 91 Kraig Handley and No. 07 Curtis King muscled their way up from the back of the pack.
Mechanical problems for O’Blenis knocked him out of contention, pushing No. 3 Nathan Rinaldi into runner up.  Rinaldi never let Mutton slip from his sights but as the heavy field bit down on the inside line rounding turn four to victory lane, you could throw a blanket over the top five cars.  The close quarters causing contact between and number of cars and Rinaldi to spin while Mutton sailed to checkers with Handley right behind.  Graham earned third place, King fourth and Hennessy fifth.

French flawless to the finish

No. 11 Adam Flieler took the field of Bill John’s Comp 4s to green during the 15-lap feature Saturday.  Flieler hung on for four laps but lost a battle with second place starter No. 82 Terry Gorgevat.  He was unable to keep the pace as No. 0 Tyler French came from high on the outside to score the lead.  French took off to victory lane, leaving Flieler to settle for second and Gorgevat in third.
