JAMES
MICHAEL FRIESEN CLAIMS 3RD LUCAS OIL RACE AT THE NEW HUMBERSTONE
SPEEDWAY ON PETERS EXCAVATING NIGHT
|
|
If the New
Humberstone Speedway's Lucas Oil Shootout race is any indication of
the future, than
the
two remaining races should be barn burners. Only three cautions
stopped the racing action thru out the entire 50 lap race. The 1P of
Darren Peters (Sunday sponsor for the night, Peters Excavating)
rocketed to the first place position early on in the race. The first
caution was brought out on lap 4 by Justin Sharpe who had to be towed
into the pits, cause unknown. At the restart it seen hard chargers 1P
and the P38 of Rob Pratt up front and the P38 takes over the lead
sending the 1P to second. The 77 of B.J Willard and the 11Z of Darren
Zumpe fighting it out in 3rd. After the second caution the 1P slide up
a little too high pushing the P38 up over the banking and forcing the
P38 to lose a considerable amount of spots. With the 1P out in front
and the 52 of Friesen working his way thru the field, it was proving
to be anyone's race. With 11 laps to go and Peters getting tied up
with some lap traffic which allowed Friesen to take the lead and
capture the checkered flag. After the post tech inspection the 1P of
Darren Peters was disqualified for a technical infraction. Top 5
were James Michael Friesen, Greg Panunte, Mark D'Ilario, Tyler
McPherson, and B.J Willard. (Heat Winner was Ryan Susice, Rob Pratt,
Justin Sharp and Greg Panunte)

It
was redemption on the mind of Don Lessard as he captured his 3rd win
of the 2008 season in the Niagara Auto Sales Pro 4 Truck division.
Lessard, who 2 weeks ago
was
black, flagged for rough driving, raced past the 29 of Doug Banner on
lap 3 and sent Banner back to fight with another current feature
winner the 32A of Andy Imbeault. The 64 raced out front in a race with
only himself, as the second place battle between the 29 and 32A was
just heating up in this 15 lap event. Hilary Haegens having another
good race in 4th,
until couple of laps until the checkered she had to be towed pit side
for apparent engine issues. Top 5 were Don Lessard, Andy Imbeault,
Rick Book, Ed McNamara, and Jim Tufford. Heat Winners were Rick Book
and Doug Banner

you bought a program this week at The New Humberstone Speedway, you
were already familiar
with
the 10 of Jaren Israel, who was the featured driver in this week's
program. Now if you attended The New Humberstone Speedway this past

come, The New Humberstone Speedway gave the fans a peek into
