BRIGHTON, ON – Craig Revelle – This coming weekend will be history in the making as Brighton Speedway hosts the DIRTcar Series events for both the Sportsman and 358 Modifieds.

The DIRTcar Sportsman division was on the schedule last season at Brighton’s Applefest Weekend but had to be cancelled due to rain. They will be back this weekend for the second attempt at their inaugural race and will see Sportsman Series point leader Brandon Easey come in with a 14 point advantage ahead of both Martin Pelletier of Quebec and Cody McPherson from Merrittville. Dave Marcuccili and Mathieu Desjardins will also be at Brighton looking to solidify their spot in the DIRTcar Sportsman top five.
