Brighton Speedway Beats The Rain On Weese Racing Anti-Bullying Night

 

By Clayton Johns

 

BRIGHTON, Ont. (August 20, 2016) – Brighton Speedway had to take pause for a brief rain shower, but the show was completed during the fifth annual Weese Racing Anti-Bullying night presented by McDougall Insurance and Financial and Read’s Accounting on Saturday.

 

With four laps completed in the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified feature, rain fell on the speedway and forced a delay of approximately 20 minutes while the moisture was worked back in to the track. But the show went on and was completed as scheduled, all before the clock struck 10:00pm.

 

Caley Weese and her team were joined by hundreds of anti-bullying supporters on the front stretch at intermission for a photo to help stand-up to bullying in the local community. Weese’s team participates in several community events throughout the year to help spread the word on the harmful effects of bullying and the need to end it. This year, the campaign sold 700 t-shirts, which sport the “no bull” tagline. 

 

Sandercock Tops Pro Late Models

 

The final round of the Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple crown was on tap for the Vanderlaan Building Products Pro Late Model Triple Crown. Brandon Mowat (No.46 Target Fabrication) and Charlie Sandercock (No.57 Bellevue Fabricating) lined up on the front row and quickly broke away from the rest of the field. A fast and tacky track following the rain shower 20 minutes earlier led to thrilling battles early.

 

Mowat paced Sandercock until lap 13 when he struggled to get past the slower Brian Down (No.8 Unique Landscaping). Mowat was forced to hit the brakes in turn two when Down pushed up the racetrack, allowing Sandercock to steal the lead.

 

Two laps later, Mowat spun on the backstretch and appeared to suffer damage to the nose of the car that ultimately ended his night a handful of laps later. Sandercock meanwhile stymied the efforts of second-place runner Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety) on four separate restarts to earn his third win of the season in weekly action at Brighton and fourth overall. Turner finished second while Andrew Hennessy (No.57x Bellevue Fabricating) drove Sandercock’s backup car to a third-place finish. Hennessy raced in preparation for next Saturday night where he will compete for Sandercock’s points.

 

Shawn Gregory Claims Soggy Canadian Modified Race

 

Adam Whaley (No.12 John’s Equipment) and Kraig Handley (No.91 Tri-Canadian Energy) started on the front row of the 25-lap feature for the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modifieds. Handley led early until a lap five caution that led to a delay in the race when rain fell. When the race resumed, Dan Ferguson (No.11 Kilmarnock Enterprise) led on the restart after Handley and Whaley banged wheels in turn four.

 

Another restart on lap eight saw Shawn Gregory (No.1 PartSource Belleville) line-up behind Ferguson. Gregory took the lead on lap nine in the outside lane and paced the field the rest of the way. Ferguson suffered a broken rear-end in his No.11 on lap 18 that brought out the final caution flag. Andrew Hennessy (No.87 RJ Equipment Rentals) chased Gregory over the final seven laps, but fell short by less than two-tenths of a second. The victory was Gregory’s first this season in the Canadian Modified division.

 

Lucky Seven For Justin Ramsay

 

After misfortune struck two weeks ago, Justin Ramsay (No.03 Empey Tire) started on the front row for the Brighton Automotive Pro Stock feature and led all 20 laps for his seventh win this season. Ramsay paced the field from the drop of the green flag, but was slowed by a caution on the second lap. Rich Sanders (No.29 Orange Motorsports) pursued Ramsay before the final caution of the race on lap five for debris regrouped the field.

 

Doug Anderson (No.72 Hunt’s Bobcat Service) drove past Sanders for second on lap eight with a mission to catch Ramsay for the lead. However, the ‘Rossmore Rocket’ had opened what proved to be an insurmountable straightaway-long lead. Ramsay was forced to negotiate some lapped traffic, but ultimately cruised to the win over Anderson, Austin Reid (No.85 Kids R Kool), Jonah Mutton (No.39 Apex Auto) and Sanders.

 

In heat race competition, driver Wade Purchase (No.53 Independent Alternator and Starter) suffered a broke drive shaft. The broken parts ruptured through the floor of the car, injuring Purchase’s arm. The result was a broken elbow for the Picton, Ont. driver. Brighton Speedway wishes Wade Purchase a quick recovery from his injuries. 

 

Jeff Humphrey Scores Comp 4 Win

 

Jeff Humphrey (No.2 Off The Hook) dominated the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 A-Main for his first win of the season. Humphrey, who is driving for Bella Cosstick, started on the pole for the 15-lap feature race and led a four-car breakaway from the rest of the field to start the race.

 

As Humphrey cruised out front, Peter Moore (No.17 Sherry’s Pet Grooming) and Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) battled side-by-side for second. The two drivers remained that way over a five-lap period until Matthew Moore emerged with the runner-up spot and took it to the checkered flag behind Humphrey. Peter Moore was third ahead of Josh French (No.08) and Tyler French (No.0 Empey Tire).

 

McCauley, Lobb Top Stinger Features

 

Both Quinte Septic Stinger features were completed before the rain delay and produced close-quarters racing. Dylan Lobb (No.7 KC Bobcat) started on the front row of the Junior Stinger feature with pole sitter Wayne Jordan (No.68). Jordan paced the field for the first three laps with Lobb glued patiently to his back bumper. Lobb claimed the lead on lap three and never looked back on his way to a second victory this season. Behind him, Willy Bulten (No.50) and Brittany Golden (No.85 Rapid Rad) exchanged the second spot a handful of times with Golden emerging ahead at the finish.

 

In the Super Stinger feature it was Arthur McCauley (No.99 East Side Tire) who started on the pole and led all 12 laps for his first victory of the season. McCauley as pursued early by Mark MacDonald (No.28 Cannifton Garage) as the two drivers broke away from the rest of the field. After MacDonald suffered a flat tire mid-race, Chris Lammle (No.95 Lammle Computer Repair) made a bid for the lead, but ultimately fell short as McCauley claimed the checkers.
