Sky Financial Series – Mark McGregor Memorial Dairy Queen 150
A terrific crowd was on hand for a warm Saturday evening of hot racing
at Wyant Group Raceway. Three local divisions joined the Sky Financial
Super Late Model Series for some edge of your seat racing. The Sky
Financial Series topped off the evening with 150 exciting laps in the
Mark McGregor Memorial Dairy Queen 150.
Blake Erb piled onto his points lead in the Saskatoon Shrine Club
Legends. Erb’s #21 Flaman Group 1934 Ford Coupe took the top spot in
qualifying, heat race and the feature. AJ Morrison, in the #84 Mark’s
Auto Body Ford Coupe picked up the qualifier race win and third in the
feature. Jody Stewart picked up second in the Legends feature in his
#27 Country Style BBQ Ford Couple.
In the Law Enforcement Guardian Bandolero division, #47 Cale Heilman had
a great night, picking up wins in the heat and the feature. #14 Ty
Stewart took the qualifier win, while the #20 of Caiden Willey and #33
of Jasmine Speidel followed Heilman across the finish in the feature.
Points leader Curtis Houben had a close call in the Golf’s Car Wash
Street Stocks. He blew the transmission in his #81 RPM Camaro, putting
any chance at the championship in jeopardy. However, he was able to get
his replacement car in and safety tech’d before registration closed. He
would have to start at the back all night as this was not the car that
qualified for the starting positions, but he was only in maintenance
mode of his points lead.
Mike Rea looked like he was on fire as he and his Wheaton GM Monte Carlo
easily claimed the heat win. Craig Katelnikoff took the qualifier win
in the #3 BDI Canada Trans Am. It was once again Mike Rea in the #18
Wheaton GM Monte Carlo taking the Golf’s Car Wash feature win, with
Scott Barrand’s #1 Tailgatorz Camaro on his tail. Kevin Mclaggen’s #63
Chevelle was third.
Some familiar faces for the start at the back challenge as Jim Gaunt and
Trevor Emond were once again the top qualifiers in the Sky Financial
Super Late Model Series time trials. Both took the challenge and would
start the Mark McGreggor Memorial Dairy Queen 150 at the rear of the
field for a chance at an extra $500 should they win the race.
Trent Seidel got his first taste of victory picking up a win in the
first heat race after qualifying third in time trials. Rob Janzen took
the win in the second heat race, co-incidentally having timed in fourth.
Were Gaunt and Emond saving their cars for the feature?
Trent Seidel had earned the pole starting position for the feature with
his heat win. But of course we don’t do things the easy way at Wyant
Group Raceway and we make you earn your victories in multiple ways.
With a toss of the dice, Trent saw his pole start turn into a tenth
position start and the pole handed to the #04 of Tim Kammer. #12x of
Aaron Deagnon would start outside of Kammer.
The two remained side by side with Deagnon slightly ahead for lap one
then Kammer in the lead on lap two when the first caution would fly
after a multiple car tangle in corner two, that ended with Trevor
Emond’s car sitting on top of Howie Crossman’s. Emond, Crossman, Ian
Admiraal, Aaron Deagnon and Trent Seidel all sustained some form of
damage from the tangle and briefly pitted, but all were able to continue.
The first restart of the night had Kammer and Kelly Admiraal side by
side and Kelly easily pulled away on green, taking the lead he would
hang onto until the next caution flew in lap 54 when the #8 of Andy
Clewes would go around.
By lap 46 Jim Gaunt had worked his way from the back to second. The
crossing at lap 50 was 8x, 55, 10, 38, 70, 04, 17x, 97, 12x, 62, 17, 88,
12, 8, 56 and 9.
That meant the restart on the lap 54 caution would see Gaunt and
Admiraal side by side. At the cone, 8x went inside, 55 outside. 10 and
38 went inside, leaving the second row outside behind Gaunt to Trent Seidel.
On the restart Gaunt was able to slip out ahead, but Seidel wasn’t able
to follow. At the line it was 55, 8x, 70, an order that held when the
next caution flew again in lap 58, brought out by Trevor Emond.
At the cone, Jim Gaunt took the 55 inside and the 8x of Kelly Admiraal
followed him, giving the outside pole to the 70 of Trent Seidel. You
know Seidel is going to take advantage of this and take advantage he
did. He easily slid his car out front and tucked in front of Gaunt for
his first lead of the race.
Caution again in lap 87 as Jason Gervais loops the #88 around. Again
it’s Trent and Jim on the front row and again Trent takes the lead.
But, the start is called back as the flagman decides Trent took off
before the green flag flew. The cars were lined up in the same order
they had chosen the lap earlier for a second try. Trent pulled ahead
again, this time waiting for the green to drop before putting the pedal
to the medal.
It was yellow lights again at lap 100 as the 56 of Howie Crossman and 12
of Matt Shirley went around. Shirley tapped out, indicating he was at
fault and would have resulted in Crossman getting his position back, but
Crossman pitted, negating that call.
It was Jason Gervais and Ian Admiraal bringing out the caution in lap
124. Gervais taps putting him at the back and Admiraal back into the
9th spot. It’s Seidel and Gaunt again at the front. Seidel still gets
the lead but its all for not as caution flies again with the two #12
cars mixing it up.
Seidel pulls out again on green and all seems to be going well, cruising
to his first feature win in three years. Three to go and the grin is
probably starting on Seidel’s face when the track lights up yellow
again. This time Jared Reddekopp loses a tire on the #97, spinning in
corner one.
Probably the only thing worse than a green, white, checker finish is a
three lap dash, where cars around you have that one extra lap to take
advantage of any little mistake you make. Running order had changed now
too, with Seidel still holding the lead, but now Rob Janzen was in
second, Kelly Admiraal in third and Jim Gaunt had slipped to fourth.
Coming around for green it was Seidel and Janzen side by side, Kelly
Admiraal and Jim Gaunt in the second row. Janzen hits the line before
Seidel but he goes a little hard into corner one causing some slip.
Admiraal and Gaunt both get by with it being 70, 8x, 55 and 17 at the
line. White flag comes out with the order still 70, 8x, 55 and 17.
As the cars come around for the Mark McGregor Memorial Dairy Queen 150
checkered flag, its Trent Seidel claiming the win in the #70 2016 Elance
Steel Camaro. The 8x of Kelly Admiraal was second with Rob Janzen in
the #17 J&A Heating and Plumbing Monte Carlo in third. Jim Gaunt was
fourth and rookie #10 Kevin Dyck was fifth.
The next scheduled racing action at Wyant Group Raceway is the kickoff
to the ROCK 102 Show and Shine Weekend, with racing Friday night, August
19th at 7:00pm.
Keep an eye on the media and our website though as last week’s rain out
is yet to be scheduled and may go next weekend, August 11 or 12.
