TRACKING THE TRACKS (part II)
EDMONTON, AB - Officials at Castrol Raceway have responded to requests from Sprint and Stock Car competitors
and will now be holding a test and tune on their 3/8mile oval track. The last minute addition to their 2017 schedule
comes on the heels of test and tune events the past two weekends at both Central Alberta Raceways in Rimbey and
Drayton Valley Speedway. The Edmonton, Alberta track will be holding their oval test and tune on Saturday, May

13th starting at 1pm. Castrol Raceway is
celebrating its 26th consecutive year of oval
racing in 2017.

Meanwhile another Alberta racetrack is
removing race dates from its schedule.
Sangudo Speedway is delaying its season
opener by two months thanks in part to facility
renovations that are taking longer than
expected. For only the second time since 1991
(2008 & 2017), the Sangudo, Alberta track will
not be running any races on the May long
weekend. The season opening delay (May
20th/21st) also means the June 24th/25th race
dates at Sangudo Speedway are cancelled as
well. Barring any further complications,
Speedway race dates. A tentative plan by
Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model
Series officials to schedule a two-day race
weekend at Sangudo Speedway on June
24th/25th has now been scrapped.
The NPP Late Model Series begins its 17th
consecutive season of race action May 26th
and 27th at Central Alberta Raceways.

(SYDNEY, NS - Friday, July 3rd ) - Cape Breton Miners Memorial Speedway will play host to their second stock car racing event of the year, the Gillis Home Hardware 100 on Saturday, July 4th at 2pm. The action packed short track race at the Sydney oval will feature competition in three classes; the NAPA Sportsman Series, Cape Breton Trailer Sales Street Stocks and Atlantic Cat/Hewitt Rentals Mini Stocks.


After two events on the NAPA Sportsman Series schedule, Shawn Waterfield of Sydney, Nova Scotia leads the way. The series visits both Cape Breton Miners Memorial Speedway in Sydney and Riverside International Speedway in Antigonish. It has been the strength of two second place finishes that has put Waterfield on top of the standings over reigning NAPA Sportsman Series titlist Chris Reid.


“It’s pretty crazy that we are the point leaders with so much stiff competition on this series,” said Waterfield on heading in to Saturday’s Gillis Home Hardware 100 with the championship lead. “We are taking it one lap at a time, focusing on the race ahead of us. This Saturday is only the third race of the series, so I guess you could say there are lots of laps left in this racing tunnel.”


Waterfield has a two point lead on Chris Reid (Fort McMurray, AB), with his brother Kyle Reid (Fort McMurray, AB) in third. Darren Price (Main-A-Dieu, NS) is fourth in the NAPA Sportsman Series championship chase, with rookies Jason Lund (Dutch Brook, NS) and Joey Rudderham (Marion Bridge, NS) tied for fifth in the standings.


Vance MacDonald (Sydney, NS) was the driver to beat on opening day in the Cape Breton Trailer Sales Street Stock class. He topped a field which included John Halliday (Sydney, NS) and Jeff Adamsson (Lower L’Ardoise, NS) on the podium on Sunday, June 7th. Feature racing in the Cape Breton Trailer Sales Street Stock division is presented by Saf-way Auto Parts.


Reigning Atlantic Cat/Hewitt Rentals Mini Stock Rookie of the Year Kody Quinn (Glace Bay, NS) topped a podium of widely traveled four cylinder stars in June to take his first win at home in 2015. Quinn roared to the line in the Ramsay’s Honda 25 last month over multi-time New Brunswick champion JR Lawson (Shubenacadie, NS) and Mike Weagle (Salisbury, NB). Top five finishes by the 2014 Atlantic Cat/Hewitt Rentals Mini Stock champion Josh Benac (North Sydney, NS) and Brandon MacMillan (Glace Bay, NS) have them well within the hunt for the championship with four races to go. Entries from as far away as Moncton, New Brunswick and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia have expressed intent to compete in the Ramsay’s Honda 25 on Saturday afternoon.


Following Saturday’s event, the focus shifts to the month of August, where two stock car events will bookend the month on Saturday, August 1st and Saturday, August 29th. Fans are urged to mark these dates on their calendar as the summer heats up on the tight Sydney oval!


Admission prices for Saturday’s second event of the season are $20 for adults over the age of 19, $8 for students aged 13 to 18 with free admission to children 12 and under. Pit admission is $25 and restricted to those 18 years and older. Pit gates open for competitors at 8am, with racing beginning at 2pm.

Cole Powell was there in the brand new Ted Musgrave owned 72 but had some trouble in the Last Chance and didn't make the Snowflake.


Jerry Artuso did make the grade for the Snowball and then had this unfortunate incident in practice late Sat afternoon. They reclipped it overnight and it was good as new for the big race.


Shawn McWhirter was there helping Augie Grill win the Snowflake and he was looking good in the Derby until getting caught up in a big wreck.


In a coincidence pointed out by my brother, the top 3 in the Snowball finish actually were sitting beside each other in the pre-race traditional picture of the Derby drivers.


This was the view of Chase Elliott that the boys had at the end of the race.
