Interstate Battery NIght was Electric





Thanks go out to James Locke and his team over at Interstate Batteries for being the nightly sponsor on Wednesday. Thanks go out to Larry Way and Wicked Garage for bringing their car show series to CCS. WE had over 50 unique cars on display, and on the track for the intermission show. It was easy to see that everyone had a good time on Wednesday.

As we get to the end of the season, things in the Championship races have turned up a notch with a number of different drivers still have a shot at winning.

Justin Holtom was sitting in the cat bird seat after Steve Monro and Sean Kennedy got tangled up and were sent to the back. Justin moved up from third and into the pole position, and on the restart jumped into the lead and never looked back. Steve Monro got tangled up with Tim Kirby and ended up in the wall with substantial damage. I talked to Steve today and the car needs to be re clipped, but he will be back on Wednesday with his back up car. Steve said it was one of those racing accidents that happen when you decide to race, and no hard feelings towards anyone. A true racer and a gentleman.

Justin Moss continued his quest for the Four for Fun Championship with another win. Pops MacDonald was ahead early but couldn't get away from Jason, and then gave up the lead to Jason.

Legends this week had a new winner and that was last years Champion, Matt Haufe. Dave Riopelle and Brian Saunders were out front for a good part of the race until they got together and were sent to the back. Matt Haufe restarted in a great spot and criused to his first Feature win of the year.

Karl Thibideau in his #49 Ford Fusion captured his second win of the year with a strong performance. Greg Ogilvie and Todd Musker battled hard for most of the race in second and third, giving Karol the opportunity to stay in front and take the checkered flag.

Chris MacDonald from Security Connection took home another strong win in  his Dodge Neon, and increases his chance for his first Championship.

Only 1 more regular season race and that is next Wednesday and is our Back to School Night sponsored by Strongo. We hope to see you next week at the races.
