Delaware Speedway PR
The unstoppable David McCullough (#39) of Glencoe made a triumphant return to GAW Recycling Enduro A-Division Competition on Saturday evening at Delaware Speedway with a solid victory. The evening featured Crazy Car Curling and a Bone Stock Chaos Car race won by Shane Thomas (#8) of Ilderton. The inaugural Legends Car Invitational was won by Nicholas Ledson (#15) of Cookstown and the GAW Recycling Enduro B Division was won by David Rumble (#114) of Blenheim. The night also included a Ladies Bone Stock race, won by Tanya Moesker (#51) of Beachville.
The Ontario Legends Cars visited the track for a twenty-five lap feature. Steve Aubertin (#28) of Bothwell led the first three laps until Nicholas Ledson (#15), who finished won his heat, took the lead. Ledson went on to win the feature. Fred Jordan (#70) who finished also won, was unable to finish the race due to a collision with Jamie Marche (#66) of London. Duane Cinnamon (#14) of Stouffville finished second and Marche finished third.
Shane Thomas (#8) won the Bone Stock Chaos Car fifty lap feature. The first three laps of the race were led by Lloyd Mailloux (#13) of Strathroy until he was passed by Jack Van Herk (#07) of Mitchell. Van Herk held the lead until lap eight, when Jeremy Schindel (#22) of Delaware passed him to lead one lap. Kevin Lay (#5) of Windsor put his car to work and took the lead in lap ten as Schindel and Van Herk became locked together on the front stretch. Lay held the lead until lap twelve when Thomas finally took the lead and led the remainder of the event. Andy Jaffery (#9) finished second and Kevin Lay finished third.
Following the Bone Stock feature was a Ladies Bone Stock Chaos Car eight lap race. It was won by Tanya Moesker (#51) of Beachville. Michelle Douglas (#8) finished second and Tiffany Hoffman (#92) finished third.
David McCullough (#39) won the GAW Recycling Enduro feature taking the lead at the half-way point from defending winner Steve Book (#64) of Brantford. After the pass Book never truly let McCullough out of his sights. The turning point came on lap 86 of 100 when Steve Book closed the gap on McCullough and made an attempt for the lead through lapped traffic. Splitting lapped cars high and low, Book ended up on the lowside. Unfortunately for Book a car spun in front of him, forcing him to slow his advance. Once reset he found himself a full straight back from McCullough who would go on to win the race. Book settled for second, Barry Watson (#45) of Ailsa Craig finished third.
“I put it in a spot I normally wouldn’t but when you’re chasing someone as fast as Dave [McCullough] you make some moves you normally wouldn’t do,” said Book on his second-place finish. “It just happened there was another car going backwards down there. I had my eyes closed for a moment and did bounce off the inside wall a bit. I knew I couldn't catch McCullough after that.”
“I’ve raced Steve clean for many years. He’s a great driver to race with,” said McCullough in victory lane. “It feels pretty good [to be here]. I want to thank the fans for coming out tonight.”
The top finisher in the GAW Recycing B-Division was Dave Rumble (#117) of Blenheim. Second was Tony Rumble (#04) of Blenheim and third was Kris Fairweather (#6) of London.
Crazy Car Curling, a first time event for Delaware Speedway, in which cars are pushed by a truck with the aim of rolling it closest to a target, took place before the races. The safety crew competed against the Whitworth Towing crew with the towing crew winning by landing their car closest to the target.
Racing will continue next Friday, July 26 with the Vintage Modifieds Amazing Value Night, sponsored by Ground Masters. The night will include a Classic Car Cruise sponsored by Hagatery Insurance at 7:00 PM, as well as features for Vintage Modifieds, 4-Cylinder Outlaw Modifieds, Coca-Cola Super Stocks, and Demar Aggregates Trucks. Gates open at 6:00 PM and racing starts at 7:30 PM. Full event details and tickets are available at www.delawarespeedway.com
