(SOS Release – August 6 2012) Fans filled the stands Saturday in
anticipation of the seventh race of the Southern Ontario Sprints 2012
season at Brighton Speedway on Star 93.3 night. The weather was hot and
the action on the track was even hotter as eighteen SOS drivers put on a
fast paced show that went green to checker without a caution.

#11 Chris Jones and #07 Dain Naida led the field to green in the
Sanderson Tire and Automotive feature event. Jones a local favorite
jumped out to the early lead on the low side and Naida would work the
high side. Jones would hold the lead till lap 6 when Naida would take
the lead coming out of turn four. Jones would not give up easily though
and battled back to the lead on lap eight however that would be short
lived as the two leaders would start to approach lapped traffic. Jones
would get caught up on the bottom while Naida would find a hole through
the busy lapped traffic. By the half way mark Naida had grabbed the lead
and did not look back as he started to check out on the field. Naida
crossed the line for the checker flag in the green to checker event.
Jones maintained second under pressure from the previous winner #7x
Jamie Collard while #51 Lee Ladouceur and #57 Charlie Sandercock would
make their way around the #42 Rick Wilson into forth and fifth respectively.
