BRIGHTON, ON (September 22, 2018) - 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.
