Raabe and Herrington sweep, Brown repats while Fetterly returns to victory

lane at Brockville Fall Nationals Finale

By: Tim Baltz

The finale of the 2022 Dirt Outlaw Apparel King Edward Auto Parts Fall Nationals

presented by St. Lawrence Radiology, saw another great day of racing action this

past Saturday. $10,000 was on the line for DIRTcar 358 Modified Series and a

championship along with a title on the line for the DIRTcar Sportsman Series.

The Mini Stocks kicked off the feature racing with plenty of cautions flags to start

the event. Justin Jodoin, former Cornwall Speedway Mini Stock Champion, was

the early race leader over Brighton Speedway regulars Tommy Bailey and Aiden

Fletcher. Brockville Speedway regular Hayden Brown was also in the mix and

would put pressure on the leader. Jodoin would have problems with his car

ending his shot at victory, which handed the lead over to Hayden Brown. Despite

several challenges from the Brighton invaders, Hayden Brown was not to be

denied as he marched to his second straight fall nationals win in the Mini Stock

division. Aiden Fletcher held on for second with Kevin Sabourin making a charge

to third over Tommy Bailey and 2022 Brockville Speedway Mini Stock Champion

Jamie Larocque.

The DIRTcar 358 Modified Series was set to go for 100 laps, $10,000 and a DIRTcar

358 title as well. Dave Marcuccilli needed to stay out of trouble to try and hold off

Lance Willix to claim his first series title. Chris Raabe and David Hebert would

battle it out in the opening laps of the race with Tim Fuller, Luke Whitteker and JF

Corriveau right there to challenge. The top 2 drivers would pull away from the

field on track that saw multiple grooves, allowing for some great racing. On lap 30

Hebert would start to edge in front over Raabe as Fuller closed quickly making it a

three-car battle for the lead. On lap 46 the great run for Hebert ended with a

scary incident, as fire erupted in the car while leading. The former Fall Nationals

champion would quickly get the car stopped and climb out unhurt. On the restart

it came down to Fuller and Raabe for the lead with Raabe in command as he

drove away. Behind Fuller, Erick Rudolph was making his way to the front from

11th, while Luke Whitteker and Corey Wheeler completed the top 5. The leaders

entered traffic with 20 laps to go which helped close the gap between Fuller and

Raabe while Wheeler and Rudolph would try to close in. Lance Willix was also

making his way forward coming from 16th starting spot to 5th. Dave Marcuccilli

was doing what he had to do to hold on to his points lead, as he ran just inside the

top 10 in the closing laps. Over the final laps Chris Raabe pulled away as Tim Fuller

and the rest of the field would have to wait to go to victory lane another day.

Raabe would go on to collect his 2nd series win of the year, his 5th Brockville win

of the season, a weekend sweep and $10,000. Tim Fuller Corey Wheeler Ryan

Arbuthnot and Lance Willix rounded out the top 5. Dave Marcuccilli would finish

12th, good enough to claim his first DIRTcar 358 Modified Series championship.

Cody McPherson and Zach Sobotka came into the evening 16 points apart in the

chase for the 2022 DIRTcar Sportsman Series title. McPherson was looking for his

2nd title while Sobotka was looking for his first but everyone was looking to beat

Brockville champion Bobby Herrington on this night. Jessica Power led the field to

green at the start of the 50-lap contest with a new power plant under the hood

over Cedric Gauvreau, Sam Charland, Bobby Herrington and Zach Sobotka.

Gauvreau would jump to the high side and take over the top spot with Sam

Charland and Bobby Herrington challenging Power for the runner up spot.

Herrington would make his charge to the front as he moved to second and on lap

16. Herrington would use the inside lane to grab the lead away and begin to

author a dominant performance, however Sam Charland would something to say

about that. On a lap 34 restart Charland would find the outside lane to his liking

as he charged alongside of the two-time track champion but Herrington was able

to stay in control of the lead as he held off Charland’s bid for the number one

position. With 10 laps remaining the championship battle was close on track as

Sobotka continued his great run in third but title rival Cody McPherson was right

there with him in 4th and both drivers had a good chance to win the race. Over

the final laps, Bobby Herrington proved to be too much for Sam Charland and the

rest of the field as he marched to his 10th win in 20 events at Brockville this

season and his 7th win in 8 fall events locally. Sam Charland claimed 2nd over

Zach Sobotka, Cody McPherson finished 4th which was more than enough to

claim his 2nd DIRTcar Sportsman Series title with Cedric Gauvreau finishing 5th.

The DIRTcar Pro Stocks closed out the season with a 30-lap contest and a pair of

veterans would chase a driver who is new to the division. Former Mini Stock

competitor Thomas McDonald would show the way early on over Denis

Gauvreau, Kevin Fetterly Jr, Blayne Nichols and Adam Turner. McDonald would

lead the first 14 laps until Gauvreau took control of the race with Fetterly right

there with him in 2nd. A few laps later McDonald would spin his car while running

third. On the restart Fetterly would fend off Gauvreau for the lead with Nichols up

to third. Over the final laps the 5-time Brockville Speedway Street Stock champion

would go unchallenged as he claimed his first DIRTcar Pro Stock victory at The

BOS. Gauvreau would hold on to second with Blayne Nichols, Thomas McDonald

and Adam Turner completing the top 5.

The 2022 season at the Brockville Ontario Speedway is now complete and off-

season preparation is already underway in anticipation for the 2023 campaign.

The staff and management at The BOS would like to thank the sponsors, the

teams and drivers for helping make this season a success. But most importantly

the biggest thanks go out to the dedicated race fans who were with us

throughout the 2022 season. We wish everyone a great holiday season and look

forward to seeing everyone back and ready to go for 2023.

Raabe Herrington Ramsay Riddell and Barkley best in Brockville Fall Nationals

Opener

By: Tim Baltz

The first night of the 14th annual Dirt Outlaw Apparel King Edward Auto Parts Fall

Nationals saw some great action in all 5 divisions on Friday night. Four of the five

divisions saw first time Fall Nationals winners.

The 25 lap Street Stock feature saw teammates Justin Ramsay and Adam Turner

lead the way early on over Ryan Lambert, 2022 Brighton Speedway Thunderstock

Champion Tyler French and Cory White making up the top 5 early on. Both

Ramsay and Turner were the dominant cars as they pulled away from the field

leaving the rest to settle other positions amongst themselves. On lap 17 the first

yellow flew as Angie Kirby go turned on the front stretch. On the restart it was

once again Ramsay and Turner in control as the rest of the field tried to keep

pace. On the final lap going into turn 2 Turner made a bid for the lead but it

wasn’t meant to be as Justin Ramsay went on to claim his second career

Brockville Speedway Fall Nationals win and first since 2016. Turner held on for

second over Ryan Lambert, Tyler French and Cory White.

Shane Pecore led the early laps of the 50 lap Oglvie’s Triple Crown Series for the

DIRTcar Sportsman over Sam Charland, Bobby Herrington, Brennan Moore and

William Racine. Pecore had a fast car but Bobby Herrington and Brennan Moore

were on the move as they charged to second and third and were looking to run

down Pecore. On lap 8 Dylan Kirkland saw his chances at a great run go away as a

big cloud of smoke came from the back end of his car, ending his night early. On

the restart Herrington went to work as closed in on Pecore for the lead with

Brennan Moore giving chase from third. On lap 18 Herrington would make the

pass for the lead, but Pecore remained within a few car lengths. At the halfway

point Pecore would regain the lead but Herrington would not let him get away as

they remained within two car lengths of each other on the speedway. On lap 27

Andrew Young brought out the caution as he sailed off of turn 1. On the restart

Pecore led the way but Herrington would remain close as he put on the pressure

for the top spot. On lap 43 Herrington would make the move for the lead and

begin to pull away. The final yellow flew on lap 48 setting up a green-white-

checker finish. When the green flew Herrington was able to pull away and

maintain a 4 car length lead over Pecore. On this night Bobby Herrington would

hang on to score his 9th win of the year and with a mechanical failure from

Oglvie’s Series points leader Jessica Power, would also take home his first Oglvie’s

Sportsman Series title. Shane Pecore would finish second and would be crowned

the Quebec/Ontario Challenge Series Champion. Sam Charland, William Racine

and Brenan Moore completed the top 5.

The track changed quickly in the 75 lap Oglvie’s Triple Crown Series for the

DIRTcar 358 Modifieds. Chris Raabe would lead the way early over Tim Fuller, JF

Corriveau, Carey Terrance and David Hebert. Raabe was running the outside lane

and noticed that the bottom became the dominant line and changed his lane

quickly while Fuller and Corriveau tried to close in. From this point forward it was

a matter of saving the right rear tire as everyone wanted the inside lane on the

speedway, making passing very tough on this night. Raabe continued to show the

way through most of the race while Fuller tried to figure out the way by the

lapped cars and stay within striking distance of the race leader. On lap 62 Carey

Terrance would bring out the first yellow as he dropped off the speedway while

running in the top 5. Restarts would make things interesting as the outside lane

was not as good and Chris Raabe took full advantage when the green flew,

holding the lead while Fuller dropped in line for second with David Hebert now

moving to third. Over the final 13 laps David Hebert and Tim Fuller tried

everything to close in on the leader and lapped cars would help make this

happen. On the final lap Raabe was stuck in traffic as Fuller and Hebert closed

quickly with Steve Bernier now in 4th. Raabe would hold on to score his first Fall

Nationals 358 Modified win at Brockville. Tim Fuller would finish up second while

David Hebert’s 3rd place run was enough to claim the 2022 358 Modified

Quebec/Ontario Challenge Series title. Steve Bernier crossed in 4th with JF

Corriveau 5th. Ryan Arbuthnot finished 8th and would be claim his third straight

Oglive’s 358 Modified Triple Crown Series title.

The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club saw two features of great racing

action. Jason Riddell was the dominant driver in the 70s and 80s division. Riddell

took the lead at the drop of the green flag, over Steve Billings, Randy Gaudet,

Chad Lackie and Paul Billings. Riddell would go unchallenged and score his third

straight win in the division at Brockville this season. Randy Gaudet, Steve Billings,

Chad Lackie and Gavin Riddell would complete the top 5. In the 20 lap 50s and 60s

division Greg Hale and Pete Stapper had a spirited battle for the race lead with

Hale getting the lead and appeared to be well in command. With only 5 laps to go,

Hale slid off turn two. As he went to merge on the track on the back stretch, Hale

and Stapper made contact, leaving Mason Barkley at the head of the field. On the

restart Barkley would hold off a determined Dexter Billings to score his first career

win in the division and at the Fall Nationals. Dexter Billings, Pat Charland, Joey

Hilts and Pete Stapper would complete the top 5.

Dykstra Riddell and Billings double up in Trailer Pro Canada Finale at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

Day number two for the Trailer Pro Canada weekend at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway gave fans a thrill this past Saturday night. The Action Sprint Tour and

Vintage Modifieds were back for second straight day and joined by the DIRTcar

Sportsman and Mini Stocks.

The night kicked off with a held over 20 lap feature for 70s and 80s Vintage

Modifieds from Friday night. Former DIRTcar 358 Modified and Sportsman driver

Jason Riddell paced the field in the early going over Chad Lackie and Randy

Gaudet. The first yellow flew on lap 2 for a pair of Riddell’s that did not have a

good night. Gavin Riddell spun in turn 2 and was hit in the front end by his

Grandfather Wayne Riddell ending his first feature early. When the green came

back out Riddell was chased by Gaudet and Lackie. Despite the efforts buy the

second and third place drivers, Jason Riddell was too much for the field as he

claimed the win in the Polite Sand and Gravel Super Series event. Gaudet held on

for second over Chad Lackie, Paul Billings and Josh Powers. In the 2nd 20 lap

event Riddell was once again the class of the field over Paul Billings, Randy

Gaudet, Steve Billings and Ian Gordon. Riddell would stretch his lead out to well

over a straightaway and proved to be too much once again as he would march to

the weekend sweep of the 70/80 class. Paul Billings would cross in 2nd over

Randy Gaudet, Steve Billings and Ian Gordon.

Pat Charland was the early pace setter in the 15 lap 50/60 division with Dexter

Billings and Pete Stapper right there to challenge. Charland had a fast car but

Dexter Billings was coming off some momentum for his big win on Friday night

and challenged Charland for the lead. On lap 8 Billings claimed the top spot over

Charland, Greg Hale, Pete Stapper and Mason Barkley. Once in front Billings was

able to hold on to a comfortable lead as he was looking to sweep the weekend in

the Polite Sand and Gravel Super Series. Despite the efforts of Pat Charland and

Greg Hale, Dexter Billings proved to be too much for the field as he also claimed

his 2nd win of the weekend. Pat Charland Greg Hale Pete Stapper and Mason

Barkley rounded out the top 5. The race was also part of the Polite Sand and

Gravel Super Series.

Round number 13 of the Action Sprint Tour was set for battle and the question

was, could anyone stop the domination of Jacob Dykstra? Brockville’s Matt

Billings would give it a shot as he led the opening 8 laps of the 25 lap feature, over

Johnny Miller, Jacob Dykstra, Lee Ladouceur and Ryan Poole. Dykstra was cutting

through the field quickly and had his sights set on the top two drivers as Billings

and Miller were trying to run away and hide. On lap 8 Dykstra took over second

and quickly closed in on Billings for the lead. One lap later Dykstra took the lead

down the back stretch and began to author a dominant performance, much like

he did on Friday night. Dykstra began lapping cars quickly and was never

challenged in the remaining laps while behind him Matt Billings was doing all he

could do to try and fend off Lee Ladouceur to try and hang on to second. Tyeller

Powless was making a late race charge to the front, as he eventually got by

Johnny Miller for the number 4 spot but had work to do to catch the top three.

On this night, Dykstra would make it look easy and would go on to sweep the

Action Sprint Tour portion of the Trailer Pro Canada Weekend, claim his 6th win

of the season and record setting 21st career series win. Billings would cross the

line in second over Ladouceur, Tyeller Powless and Johnny Miller.

A full field of 24 DIRTcar Sportsman drivers took the green flag and track

champion Bobby Herrington led the way from the pole in the 25 lap event, with

Shane Stearns and Can Am Speedway regular Dave Rogers making up the top

three early on. The driver on the move however, was Dylan Kirkland as he

charged to the high side, moving to position number two by lap 6 and began to

run down Herrington, who was already closing in on some lapped traffic.

Herrington remained in control but behind him another scary incident saw Dylan

Kirkland get pinched into the wall by a lapped car as he was stopped sideways on

the front stretch. Tyler Stewart had no place to go and slammed into Kirkland,

sending him into a series of flips down the front stretch, resulting in a red flag.

Thanks to the safety of the cars both Stewart and Kirkland were able to climb out

uninjured. When the green came back out Herrington remained in control of the

race over Stearns and Rogers, but Brennan Moore was making some noise in the

top 5 as he challenged some of the top drivers in the division. On lap 14 Moore

got by Rogers for third and repeatedly made an effort to get by Stearns for

second. The yellow flew with 10 laps remaining as Domonick Merkley slid off the

top side of turns 3 and 4 setting up another restart. Herrington once again would

take the lead over Stearns as Rogers re-took third from Moore while Robert

Delormier made his way to 5th. Herrington was on cruise control and was looking

to hold on for another win. On lap 24 the yellow flew for a stopped Andrew Young

in turn 3 and 4, setting up a one lap dash to the finish. On the final restart,

Herrington timed it perfectly, as he jumped out to a three car length lead and

held on despite dropping a cylinder over the final laps, to record his 8th win of the

season. Shane Stearns Dave Rogers Robert Delormier and Brennen Moore

completed the top 5.

The Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks closed out Trailer Pro Canada Weekend,

with a 20 lap feature. Hayden Brown was looking to carry the momentum he had

from his win on the final points night one week ago, to grab the lead over

Brandon MacMillan and Bob Ray, who was making his return to racing after being

out of a race car for the last few seasons. Brown had a great car but veteran Bob

Ray was closing quickly as he took second from MacMillan and closed in on the

race leader. On lap 15 Ray made it look easy as he took the top spot in turn three

and four, leaving Brown and MacMillan to battle for second and third. Bob Ray

might have been out of a race car for the last few years, but he still has what it

takes to get the job done, as he took the Pierre Picard owned car to his first

Brockville Mini Stock win since August 20th of 2016. Brandon MacMillan was able

to get by Hayden Brown for second, with Kevin Sabourin and Mark Packer making

up the top 5 finishers.

The First Trailer Pro Canada Weekend is now in the record books and the

attention now shifts to a totally different type of racing on Saturday September

17th for the annual Monster Enduro. For information on how to get entered into

Draper scores Brockville Season finale, Raabe claims first 358 track title

By: Tim Baltz

A fast race track greeted drivers this past Saturday night at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway. Track championships were on the line but for those who were not in

contention to win a title, a feature win was up for grabs.

Before the feature events, a special 8 lap Dutchmen’s Dash for Cash for the

DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman took to the speedway. The races

featured all winners in the 2022 season at Brockville. Kalen Draper took the lead

early and never looked back to secure the DIRTcar 358 Modified win. Bobby

Herrington took the lead late in the going and claimed the DIRTcar Sportsman

win. A special thanks to head starters Nate and Gary Vandermeer for their

support and for putting in the time and effort in organizing those special events.

Mario Dupuis led the way early on in the 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature with

Matt Pruner and Holly Denard chasing him. Dupuis had a fast race car was in

search of his second win of the season. Keira Turner brought out a late race

caution as she lost a left front tire in turn 3. On the final restart Dupuis would pull

away and go unchallenged to claim his second win of the year. Matt Pruner, Holly

Denard, Gavin MacFarlane and Paul Donnelly completed the top 5. Veteran

Shawn Hodge claimed the season long championship.

Domonick Merkley led early in the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman event. But a tangle

involving Merkley, Trent Wallace, Brennan Moore and Evan Reynolds would slow

the field before the end of lap 1. Once the race got going it was Dan Ferguson

leading the way over Josh Powers and Shane Stearns. Powers wasted no time

grabbing the lead a couple of laps later and began to pull away, but a familiar face

would provide a challenge to former Vintage modified driver. 2021 and newly

crowned 2022 champion Bobby Herrington would move to second and quickly

close in on the leader. Powers would keep the lead as both cars were evenly

matched. Behind the top 2 Jessica Power would move to the number 3 spot with

Dylan Kirkland and Xavier Andrews completing the top 5. Herrington tried

everything he had to get by Powers through the remainder of the event, but the

rookie was up to the task and would hold on to become the third multi-time

winner, claiming his 2nd career DIRTcar Sportsman win. Herrington claimed

another runner up finish with Jessica Power, Dylan Kirkland and Xavier Andrews in

the top 5. Herrington became the 4th driver in track history to win back to back

DIRTcar Sportsman titles.

Veterans Chris Herbison and Jeff Sykes led early in the 30 lap DIRTcar 358

Modified feature. The top two pulled away from the rest of the field while young

guns, Tristan Draper Johnathon Ferguson and Jarrett Herbison filled out the top 5

spots. Draper continued his charge towards the front of the field as he moved

past Sykes to take over the number two spot on lap 16, as he closed in on the

leader. Title contenders Chris Raabe and Ryan Arbuthnot were in traffic

throughout the 30 lap contest and tried their best to make it to the front of the

field. Late in the event Johnathon Ferguson spun in turn 1 clipping the back

bumper of Raabe and the caution flew. Both cars continued on but had to restart

from the back of the field. On the restart Draper continued to show the way but

Kyle Dingwall was right there to challenge with Jeff Sykes retaking the number

three spot and the battle was on. Over the final laps, Tristan Draper would pull

away and would survive one late race restart, to go to victory lane for a third time

in 2022. Dingwall crossed in 2nd with Jeff Sykes, Ryan Arbuthnot and Jarrett

Herbison. Chris Raabe would claim his first DIRTcar 358 Modified championship,

joining Paul Moreland and Kyle Dingwall, as the only drivers to have track

championships in both Sportsman and Modified divisions at the speedway.

Francis Gauthier led early on over Peter and Todd Raabe in the 15 lap Street Stock

feature. Gauthier was looking for some redemption after nearly winning his first

feature, only to lose the lead on the final lap. On this night, Todd Raabe would

move to the top spot around Gauthier on lap 10 bringing his brother Peter to the

number two spot. Over the final laps Todd Raabe would continue the family’s

great night, as he scored his 4th win of 2022. Brett Horner would be crowned the

2022 Street Stock champion.

In the 15 lap Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stock division, Hayden Brown was

looking to forget about a tough 2nd half of the season, as he led early over Pierre

Picard, Max Steele, Matt Boal and Jamie Larocque. As the laps clicked off Hayden

Brown continued to pull away while the battle for the track championship was

close in position on the race track between defending champion Jarrod Galway

and Jamie Larocque. Both drivers were in and out of the top 5 all night long but

were not factors in the battle for the win. Hayden Brown would finally get a top

five finish to close out the year, it would be a win, his second of the season and

first top 5 finish since he won his first race on June 18th of this season. Pierre

Picard held on for 2nd over Max Steele, Matt Boal and 2022 track champion Jamie

Larocque.

Next week its an action packed two days of racing with Trailer Pro Canada race

Pecore best in the North with Brockville DIRTcar Sportsman Series win, Dingwall

best 358 Modified field again

By: Tim Baltz

A fast race track this past Saturday at the Brockville Ontario Speedway treated the

top stars of the DIRTcar Sportsman North Regional Series for round number three

of the four race series. The DIRTcar 358 Modifieds Novice Sportsman and

Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks were also on hand and put on a fantastic show.

Max Steele was the early leader in the 15 lap Mini Stock feature over Kevin

Sabourin and Jarrod Galway. Steele was running away with the feature and

appeared to be well on his way to his first ever win. On lap 10 a scary moment

took place as Matt Boal, who was running inside the top 5, had his car catch fire in

turn two. Boal was able to roll to a stop in front of the fire and safety team. Boal

was able to get out of the car and was not injured. On the restart Kevin Sabourin,

who was making his season debut, grabbed the lead as Max Steele’s car began to

slow with Jarrod Galway and Dakota Boal climbing into the top 3. Sabourin would

lead the final 5 laps and hold off defending track champion Jarrod Galway, to

claim his first Brockville win over Galway, Dakota Boal, John Lamarche and points

leader Jamie Larocque, who came from last after a spin to finish 5th. Earlier in the

night Dakota Boal claimed an extra $300 by winning the Supernant Truck Shop,

Build It Better Construction and Rob’s Repairs Dash for Cash.

Chris Herbison was the early leader in the 30 lap DIRTcar 358 Modified feature

with Terry McClelland and Joe Banks making up the top three early on. Herbison

was fast but Kyle Dingwall was on the charge early and made his way to second

with McClelland, Joe Banks and Lee Ladouceur there to challenge. On lap 15 Terry

McClelland slowed to a stop on the back stretch, bringing out the first yellow at

the halfway point. On the restart Dingwall was able to get the lead and begin to

author a dominant performance. Chris Raabe, Ryan Arbuthnot and Johnathon

Ferguson were also on the charge as they closed in on Herbison for the runner up

spot. Raabe was able to get by but still had a long way to go to catch the leader.

Over the final 10 laps Kyle Dingwall ran perfect and after winning his first race

back on June 4th of this year, the 2012 champion would claim his second win of

the season. Raabe held on for second with Johnathon Ferguson slipping by Ryan

Arbuthnot for 3rd at the line, while Chris Herbison crossed in 5th.

The third round of the DIRTcar Sportsman North Canada region took the green

flag for 50 laps and 2018 Street Stock champion Michael Dillon would lead the

early laps over Fire Swamp, Cedric Gauvreau, Dylan Kirkland and Shane Pecore.

The lead would be short lived as Swamp was able to take the top spot away with

Michael Dillon and Dylan Kirkland staying close by in the top three. On lap 18

Kirkland moved to second and was putting the pressure on Swamp for the race

lead. Kirkland would move by for the top spot, while Gauvreau, Swamp, Pecore

and Jessica Power were charging hard in the top 5. On lap 30 Cedric Gauvreau

would take his turn at the head of the field over Pecore and Kirkland, but 1 lap

later Gauvreau would slide off the top of turn 4 allowing Kirkland to retake the

number 1 spot as Pecore moved to second and the battle was on. Kirkland and

Pecore began to pull away from the field but some new drivers made their way

towards the front. Xavier Andrews climbed to third with Bobby Herrington making

his way to fourth from his 11th starting spot while Jessica Power continued her

strong run in spot number 5. On a restart on lap 39, Shane Pecore would charge

by Kirkland for the lead with Bobby Herrington moving to second. These two

drivers would pull away in the final laps and settle it amongst themselves. Over

the last laps, Shane Pecore ran a perfect race and would drive on to his first

Brockville win since June 30th of 2018 and his second overall series win of the

year. Herrington crossed in 2nd and would clinch the 2022 DIRTcar Sportsman

track championship, while Dylan Kirkland Xavier Andrews and Jessica Power

rounded out the top 5.

Holly Denard was the dominant force in the 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature.

Denard took the lead away from early pace setter Jordan Wood with points leader

Shawn Hodge running third. Denard would pull away to a comfortable lead as

Shawn Hodge got by Wood for second but had some work to do to catch the

leader. As the laps clicked off Holly Denard would go unchallenged to claim her

second win of the season. Hodge crossed the line second over Matt Pruner, last

weeks winner Paul Donnelly and Marco McCarthy.

Next week track champions in all divisions will be claimed as it is final points night

for the DIRTcar 358 Modified, DIRTcar Sportsman, Novice Sportsman, Supernant

Truck Shop Mini Stock and Street Stock. Racing begins at 7pm. For updates, stay

Kalen Draper best The BOS veterans for first career Brockville DIRTcar 358

Modified win

By: Tim Baltz

It was a night of firsts this past Saturday night at the Brockville Ontario Speedway

as three drivers claimed their first career feature wins on Splash Well Drilling

night.

Mathieu Bardier was the dominant force at the start of the 25 lap Action Sprint

Tour feature, with Matt Billings, Luke Stewart, Lee Ladouceur and Darren Dryden

making up the top 5 spots early on. Bardier has been fast all season and showed it

as he pulled away from the rest of the top 5 drivers and was in search of his first

series win. It appeared Bardier was going to lead every lap and end the race early

but Darren Dryden sailed off turn 4 while running 5th, bringing out the first yellow

on lap 11. On the restart Bardier continued to show the way but Lee Ladouceur

was on the move as he took 2nd from Billings and tried his best to close in on the

leader. With 5 laps left traffic started to come into play but Bardier would get

through with no issues, leaving Ladouceur behind in the number two spot. After a

championship run that ended because of a bad accident early in the season,

Mathieu Bardier rebounded for his 4th win of the season, but more importantly,

his first ever Action Sprint Tour win. Lee Ladouceur held on for 2nd with

defending series champion Jacob Dykstra edging out Luke Stewart for 3rd at the

line, while Matt Billings completed the top 5. The night was also show-up points

for track regulars in the 1000 RV Crate Sprint Car division for 2022. Ryan Poole

was honored at intermission as the 2022 track champion. Poole won three times

during his title run this year.

The start of the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature took a few tries to get some

laps in but Bobby Herrington would move from 13th starting spot to grab the lead

from early pace setter Xavier Andrews on lap 5 with Dylan Kirkland, Jessica Power,

who came from 15th to 4th early on and Dan Ferguson making up the top 5.

Herrington was fast on this night, as he put a straight away on Andrews by lap 10,

but Andrews was having his own battle with Dylan Kirkland, who put the pressure

on for the 2nd spot. At halfway it was Herrington still in command but the battle

for second turned into a 3-car battle, as Jessica Power would join the fight as well,

with Evan Reynolds taking the 5th spot after a mistake by Dan Ferguson, which

dropped him to the 6th spot. As the laps wound down it was clear that Xavier

Andrews and the rest of the field were not going to catch the defending track

champion, as Herrington held well over a straight away lead. In the end Bobby

Herrington would notch his 7th win of the season and second in a row. Andrews

would cross in second over Dylan Kirkland, Jessica Power and Evan Reynolds, who

tied his best finish of the season for a second time finishing 5th.

Kalen Draper was looking for some redemption in the 30 lap DIRTcar 358

Modified feature, as he jumped into the early lead over Joe Banks, Lee Ladouceur,

Terry McClelland and Johnathon Ferguson. After a season of struggles the Draper

Racing team has been the hottest team at The BOS, as Kalen’s brother Tristan had

won the last two weeks in a row. Kalen would pull away to a comfortable lead

while some of the high point drivers started to move forward. Johnathon

Ferguson was able to get to third and bring Ryan Arbuthnot and points leader

Chris Raabe into the top 5 also. Draper continued his steady pace as he held the

lead and would not be phased by traffic, as he cleared the lapped cars with no

issues. On lap 23 a quick yellow slowed the field and would test Draper on the

restart. When the green flew Draper once again got to the lead and pulled away

from Ladouceur, Arbuthnot, Raabe and Kyle Dingwall, who made his way to the

top 5 late in the event. With three laps to go another quick yellow slowed the

field as Jarrett Herbison spun off turn 2. On the final restart Kalen Draper would

pull away and get some redemption after having a win taken from him on the

final lap several weeks earlier, as he scored his first career DIRTcar 358 Modified

win. Ryan Arbuthnot got by Lee Ladouceur for second with Chris Raabe and Kyle

Dingwall completing the top 5.

Nick Merkley led the start of the 12 lap Street Stock feature over Peter and Todd

Raabe. Merkley had a fast car but behind him, it was trouble for points leader

Brett Horner. The two-time feature winner, would lose a right rear tire heading

down the back stretch ending his night early. On the restart it was Merkley once

again in control but Peter Raabe would make his move and take the lead on lap 3,

with brother Todd Raabe moving to second. On lap 6 Todd Raabe would make his

move for the top spot and start to author a dominant performance. From there it

was no contest as Todd Raabe would march on to score his division leading third

win of the season over Peter Raabe and Keith Riddell.

Jordan Wood led the opening laps of the 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature but

Holly Denard was also on the move and put pressure on the race leader in the

opening laps. Wood led the opening three laps until last weeks winner Matt

Pruner spun in turn 3. On the restart Jordan Wood remained the race leader but

Holly Denard was making her move for the lead. Denard tried the high lane in turn

three and pulled alongside the race leader. The top two made contact forcing

Denard off the speedway and the yellow flew. Denard would return for the next

restart, but Jordan Wood’s night would end early with right rear suspension

damage. This left Paul Donnelly in front on the restart but Stephane Fournier,

who picked up his first career win a few weeks back, was on the charge and

looking for the top spot. Donnelly would not be phased as he held off Fournier in

the final laps. Fournier even bounced off the front stretch wall to try and get by

the leader, but his shot at a win would have to wait another week. Paul Donnelly

would march to his first ever win and become the 9th different winner in the

division, breaking the previous record of 8 winners in 2015. Stephane Fournier

and Sandy MacFarlane completed the podium.

Next week The DIRTcar Sportsman North Canada Region gets back underway for

round three of the series. The DIRTcar 358 Modifieds will be on the card along

with Novice Sportsman and the Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks. Racing gets

underway at 7pm. For news, results and updated points visit our website at

Draper and Herrington notch Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series triumphs at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

Another busy night of racing this past Saturday at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway. It was round number two of the Oglvie’s Triple Crown Series for the

DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman divisions. Fans were also treated to

some great racing with Mini Stocks, Crate Sprint cars and Novice Sportsman this

past weekend.

The 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature saw Matt Pruner take the lead early over

Jordan Wood and Mario Dupuis. Pruner had a fast car on this night and was out to

a comfortable 6 car length lead by lap 5 while Wood and points leader Shawn

Hodge continued their fight for the second spot. Pruner looked like he would

cruise to victory, however a quick yellow on lap 10 for Jordan Wood, who broke

while running 2nd, would bunch up the field for one more restart. When the

green flew Pruner once again timed it perfect as he pulled away once again with

Shawn Hodge close by in second. In the end Matt Pruner would grab his first ever

win and become the 8th different winner this year, which ties a division record,

which was set back in 2015. Shawn Hodge had a solid night finishing second over

Holly Denard, Paul Donnelly and Cory Lambert.

The 27th race ever held for the Oglvie’s Triple Crown Series for the 358 Modifieds

went green for 50 laps and two-time series champion Ryan Arbuthnot grabbed

the lead early with Chris Raabe and Johnathon Ferguson close behind. Drivers

were preferring the bottom lane on the speedway which allowed Arbuthnot and

Raabe to get out front and pull away in the early laps. With everyone running the

bottom, the “Highside Hustler” Tristan Draper went to his favorite line, the top

side, and began to move forward. Last weeks winner got by Lee Ladouceur for 4th

and then Johnathon Ferguson for the third spot a few laps later. At half way

Arbuthnot and Raabe continued their great run but Draper joined the fight

making it a three-car battle for the lead, with Kyle Dingwall and Ferguson making

up the top 5. With 20 laps remaining Draper once again made his move on the

speedway, as he took the runner up spot from Chris Raabe and chased down

Arbuthnot for the lead. On lap 36 Draper made it look easy getting by the

defending track and series champion for the lead and started to author a

dominating performance. With Draper in front and driving away Raabe continued

to work on Arbuthnot for second, as he tried several times to get by. In the end

The Highside Hustler Tristan Draper made it a perfect, two for two with his brand-

new car as he claimed his 2nd win in a row and first ever Oglvie’s Series win. Ryan

Arbuthnot, Chris Raabe, Kyle Dingwall and Johnathon Ferguson completed the top

5.

In the DIRTcar Sportsman portion of the Oglvie’s Series, it was defending track

champion Bobby Herrington leading the way over Jessica Power, Domonick

Merkley and Tyler Givogue. Much like the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature, all

drivers started to migrate to the inside lane which worked out in Herrington’s

favor, as he started to stretch out his lead and was in search of his third career

series win, in just his 4th start. Plenty of cautions slowed the field on several

occasions, which made it difficult on drivers during the 40 lap event. Throughout

the many cautions Herrington and Power continued their run in the top two

spots, while behind them Dominick Merkley was the only driver making up

ground on the top side of the speedway. The man who won his first Sportsman

feature earlier this season, was on the move as he took over position number

three from Givogue and then tried his best to keep pace with Herrington and

Power. As the laps clicked off, Fire Swamp started to come into the picture and

was riding a wave of confidence, after winning his first career DIRTcar Sportsman

feature a week ago at Airborne. On lap 29 he made his way past Givogue for

fourth and then by Merkley for third, as he tried his best to run down the leaders.

One quick yellow late in the going bunched the field up for the final restart. When

the green flew Bobby Herrington was able to pull away to comfortable lead and

go unchallenged to claim his 6th win of the year and third Oglvie’s Sportsman

Series win. Jessica Power held off repeated challenges by Fire Swamp for second

with Tyler Givogue and Shane Stearns completing the top 5.

The Mini Stock 15 lap event was very eventful as Hayden Brown was looking to

put all of his bad luck behind him. Brown took the lead early and looked to be on

his way to an easy win as he held a straightaway lead over Pierre Picard and

Dakota Boal. Brown was on cruise control but on lap 11 a quick yellow flew,

setting up some wild action in the final four laps. When the green flew it was

Brown in control but Picard was right there to challenge with Skylar Ladouceur

third. With two laps remaining Picard and Brown made contact resulting in Brown

getting the lead back in turn three. As the white flag flew Picard and Brown would

again find themselves together as they entered turns one and two. Picard and

Brown both spun after heavy contact down the back stretch, leaving Skylar

Ladouceur with the lead. At the finish Ladouceur would claim his second win of

the year in a wild finish, followed by Matt Boal, Dakota Boal, Jamie Larocque and

Jarrod Galway.

The 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints closed out the night with a 15 lap feature event.

Mathieu Bardier was making his return to the speedway after a terrible crash in

turn 4 a few weeks ago. Bardier was in control of the race from the drop of the

green, over Ryan Poole and Lee Ladouceur. Championship implications were on

the line for Ladouceur and Poole on this night, as they were separated by two

points coming into the evening. Poole remained in the second spot while

Ladouceur tried to keep pace. Bardier was well in front and would cruise to his

third win of the season with Poole keeping a possible track title in his grasp, with

a second place finish as Luke Stewart was able to take third from Ladouceur, with

Paul Pekkonen completing the top 5. With the Action Sprint Tour in town next

week, only show up points are available for the track regulars, leaving Poole in

great shape for the championship.

Next week the first appearance of the season for the Action Sprint Tour will take

place along with a full show for the DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman.

Novice Sportsman is on the card along with the return of the Street Stocks. Racing

begins at 7pm. For the latest news, points and results, head to our website at

Draper debuts brand new car, wins a thriller over Dingwall at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

It was a hot night both on and off the race track at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway this past Saturday night. Temperatures reached near 40 degrees

Celsius, but drivers in all six divisions were up to the task to beat their competitors

and the heat as well.

The Street Stocks saw an exciting finish in their 12-lap feature event on

Greenshield Pest Control night. Francis Gauthier led early on and was looking for

his first ever win, with Brett Horner, Todd Raabe, Peter Raabe and Kraig Handley

right there to challenge. Gauthier had a strong car and was holding off some of

the best drivers in this division. As the laps clicked off Gauthier looked in great

shape as the field was coming to the white flag. However heading into turn three

Gauthier slipped up the track, allowing Horner to get by for the lead. Horner

would lead the lap that counted as he scored his 2nd win of the season, over Todd

Raabe, Peter Raabe, Kraig Handley and Steve Brady. Gauthier wound up 6th at the

finish.

Michael Dillon led the early laps of the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature, over

Ricky Thompson, Shane Stearns, Domonick Merkley and Brennan Moore. Dillon,

the 2018 Street Stock champion, was running well, using the inside lane to hold

on to the lead. As the race neared the halfway point, Shane Stearns started to

charge forward as he took second from Thompson, then ran down Michael Dillon

for the lead. On lap 13 Stearns used the bottom lane to take over the top spot and

looked to be on his way to victory. As the laps clicked off, defending track

champion Bobby Herrington was making a late race charge as he moved to

second with four laps left, but still had some ground to make up on Stearns.

Herrington would get to within two car lengths, but that was as close as he would

get. Shane Stearns would end a winless drought that dated back to September

3rd of 2016, his only career win, as he scored his first of this season. Bobby

Herrington, Ricky Thompson, Domonick Merkley and Xavier Andrews completed

the top 5.

Madison Mulder has been fast all season an on this night, he took the lead in the

early laps of the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature over Tristan Draper, Jeff Sykes,

Ryan Arbuthnot and Kyle Dingwall. The yellow would come out early in the race

on lap 7, as Lee Ladouceur would slide off the track in turn 4. On the restart

Tristan Draper, who was debuting a brand new Bicknell chassis along with brother

Kalen, would take over the lead, while behind him, some of the top drivers in the

points were also moving forward. Ryan Arbuthnot, Chris Raabe and Kyle Dingwall

would make their way into the top 5 by lap 12. Draper would use his favorite line,

the top side of the speedway, to hold on to the lead, but Chris Raabe would start

to charge forward. Raabe would take the second spot from Ryan Arbuthnot, using

the bottom and quickly ran down Draper for the lead. On lap 24 Raabe took it

away and appeared like he was on his way to another win. However heading into

turn 1 Raabe jumped over the cushion, allowing Draper to get back by, but it was

far from over. Kyle Dingwall started to charge forward and challenged Draper for

the lead. Lapped cars came into play as the leaders raced three wide on the final

lap, with traffic in the mix. Coming off turn 4 Draper had just enough to stay in

front of Kyle Dingwall, to record a hard fought first win of the season. Dingwall,

Arbuthnot, Johnathon Ferguson and Chris Raabe, who rebounded from the

mistake in turn 1 with 6 to go, completed the top 5.

In the 20 lap Vintage Modified feature for the cars of the 70s and 80s, Wayne

Riddell led the first part of the race, with Grandson Gavin Riddell and Steve

Billings putting the pressure on. As the top three battled for the lead, Chad Lackie

and veteran Randy Gaudet were on the move as they joined the battle, making it

a 5-car fight for the lead. On lap 13 Gavin Riddell would make his way to the lead

with Steve Billings taking second. One lap later Steve Billings took control of the

race and appeared he would be the car to beat. But on lap 17 the great run ended

as he broke in turn 2. On the final restart Gavin Riddell would drive away to his

second Vintage Modified win of the year. Chad Lackie, Randy Gaudet, Wayne

Riddell and Paul Billings completed the top 5.

The cars of the 50s and 60s took to the speedway next for a 15-lap feature and it

did not lack in excitement, as 4 cars were in a battle for the lead. Pat Charland led

the early laps over Joey Hilts, Pete Stapper and Greg Hale, who landed in victory

lane in this division the previous Friday night at Can Am. These 4 drivers put on a

great side by side battle for the lead and thrilled the crowd on a hot night.

Charland held a slight lead but Hilts was putting in a solid effort on the bottom, as

the laps clicked off. On the final lap Charland and Hilts continued their side-by-

side battle for the win. Off turn 4 Hilts got a slight edge and at the line by inches,

it was Joey Hilts collecting his third win of the season. Pat Charland, Pete Stapper,

Greg Hale and Dexter Billings finished out the top 5.

The night concluded with a 12 lap Novice Sportsman event and it was an

emotional night for Stephane Fournier. After a season of struggles, he got some

advice from his father, who recently passed away, to keep racing. That’s exactly

what he did as Fournier held the lead over Mario Dupuis and Shawn Hodge.

Fournier would hold a comfortable 4 car length lead in throughout the race as

Dupuis and Hodge did all they could to catch him. On this night Stephane Fournier

finally got things to go his way, as he would take the advice from his dad, to score

his first ever win with Mario Dupuis, Shawn Hodge, Paul Donnelly and Marco

McCarthy rounding out the top 5 finishers.

Next week It’s round number two for the Oglvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown

Series for the DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman plus Novice

Sportsman and the return of the Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks and 1000

The General Lee Ladouceur soars to first Brockville DIRTcar 358 Modified win

By: Tim Baltz

Eastern Ontario Eavestrough was on hand this past Saturday night at the

Brockville Ontario Speedway and along with a great crowd, were treated to some

exciting racing in all four classes on this night.

The Novice Sportsman hit the track first for a 12 lap feature event. Jordan Wood

was looking to win his third feature of the season as he led the first five laps over

Shawn Hodge and Paul Donnelly. Wood had a great car but Hodge was closing in

quickly and looking for the lead. On lap 8 Hodge made his move as he took the

lead away from Wood, who was now in a battle for second with Donnelly. Over

the final laps Shawn Hodge would make it look easy as he pulled away for his

second win of the season and added to his points lead as well. Jordan Wood, Paul

Donnelly, Nathan Lambert and Marco McCarthy completed the top 5.

In the DIRTcar 358 Modified 30 lap feature it was Madison Mulder leading the

early laps, over Lee Ladouceur, Terry McClelland, Chris Herbison and Joe Banks.

Mulder was fast early but Ladouceur was on a mission to get to the front as he

shot by Mulder off turn two to grab the lead. Chris Herbison was also on the move

taking second and went in search of Ladouceur. On lap 10 Herbison took his turn

at the front with Ladouceur and Banks now making up the top three. Behind

them, Kyle Dingwall Ryan Arbuthnot and points leader Chris Raabe were on their

way forward, as they charged into the top 5 just past the halfway point. Herbison

was out in front and it appeared as if he was well on his way to his third win of the

season. On lap 23 Steve Bilow skated off the top of turn 4, which gave Ladouceur

the break he was wanting. On the restart Ladouceur and Herbison were side by

side with Ladouceur gaining the top spot into turn three. Herbison tried to get

back by but was finding himself in a battle with Arbuthnot, Dingwall and Raabe for

position. Over the final laps, Lee Ladouceur proved to be too much as he claimed

his first Brockville Modified win after many years of trying and put car owner Jim

Primrose in the winners circle yet again. Chris Herbison ran a fine race to come

home second. Kyle Dingwall, Chris Raabe and Ryan Arbuthnot completed the top

five.

Former Street Stock champion Michael Dillon led early in the 25 lap DIRTcar

Sportsman feature with Evan Reynolds, Josh Powers, Tyler Stewart and Ricky

Thompson making up the top five. Even with the lead, Dillon found himself in a

battle with Evan Reynolds in the early stages of the event, however Josh Powers

was making his way forward. On lap 9 powers took over the lead with Dillon back

to second and Bobby Herrington now third. After picking up his second win in a

row and fourth of the season a week ago, the defending track champion would

charge to second and quickly close in on Josh Powers for the lead. With 10 laps to

go Herrington would use the inside lane off turn two, to grab the top spot and

start to pull away. Behind the leader Powers found himself in a late race battle

with Xavier Andrews who was on the move and looking for the runner up spot.

This night would belong to Bobby Herrington, as he scored his third win in a row

and fifth of the season. Powers settled for second over Xavier Andrews, Dylan

Kirkland and Evan Reynolds, who had a career day scoring a 5th place finish.

The 15 lap Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stock feature saw, defending track

champion Jarrod Galway take the lead over Max Steele and Tyson Slinger. With

Galway and Steele in command, the real race was between six drivers for third.

An incredible six car battle, which resembled a high speed pace lap, saw drivers

battling for position two by two, three rows deep. A quick yellow would end that

battle as the field bunched up for another restart. When the green flew Galway

once again remained in control over Steele, with Jamie Larocque charging to

third. Over the final laps, Jarrod Galway would erase all the bad luck this season

as he scored his second win of the year. Max Steele would finish a career best

second over Larocque, Skylar Ladouceur and Matt Boal.

Next week the month of August kicks off with Greenshield Pest Control on hand

as the night sponsor with the Vintage Modifieds on the card plus the DIRTcar 358

Modified, DIRTcar Sportsman, Novice Sportsman and Street Stock. Racing begins

at 7pm.

Raabe takes DIRTcar 358 Modified checkers with last lap pass at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

The temperatures were hot outside and the racing this past Saturday at the

Brockville Ontario Speedway was even hotter. Point chases are heating up and

drivers needing wins is becoming priority, which is a recipe for some intense

action, which fans got to see on this night.

Josh Powers was out front early at the start of the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman

feature over Tyler Stewart and Michael Dillon. Several early race cautions slowed

the start of the event, one of which involved points leader Bobby Herrington and

three time feature winner Jessica Power. When the race finally got going and laps

started to click off, Powers and Stewart were putting on a fantastic show for the

fans as they had a great battle for the race lead. On the charge was Bobby

Herrington, who went to the pits and was on a mission to get to the front. While

Powers and Stewart continued their back and forth battle, Herrington got by for

third and set sail after the top 2. With five laps left Stewart would make his move

to take the lead while Herrington was able to get by for second. On lap 23

Herrington would make his move in turn three to take control of the race. From

there the defending champion denied Stewart his first ever win, by scoring his

fourth of the season and second in a row. Stewart would once again cross in

second over Shane Stearns, Josh Powers and Dan Ferguson.

Madison Mulder has won DIRTcar 358 Modified races in his career, but has yet to

win at Brockville. Mulder led the early laps of the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature

over Kalen Draper, Jeremy LaSalle, Chris Herbison and Kyle Dingwall. The track

was fast on this night as Mulder stabilized the lead at around 4 car lengths but

Draper was on the move as he closed in on the leader. After the half way mark of

the event, defending track champion Ryan Arbuthnot had moved to the third spot

as the field entered into lapped traffic. Arbuthnot was able to clear Draper after a

great battle, then set sail after the leader. On lap 20 Arbuthnot would tangle with

a lapped car and make contact with an infield tire, breaking the front end, which

forced him to the pits. The green would fly and this time Kalen Draper would take

the top spot over Mulder, with Chris Raabe getting into the mix, over Kyle

Dingwall and Johnathon Ferguson. Draper held a slight lead and found himself

under attack from Dingwall and Raabe with five laps to go. Dingwall tried a move

on the high lane in turn four, which did not work, however one lap later Raabe

would drive by for second and go to work for the lead. Coming to the white flag

Chris Raabe would drive by the rookie driver and take the lead. From there Chris

Raabe would pull away to score his third win of the season in dramatic fashion.

Draper would finish a career best second over Kyle Dingwall, Johnathon Ferguson

and Lance Willix.

When you stick with something, even though it has been frustrating, usually the

pay off is pretty big. That’s exactly what happened to Holly Denard in the Novice

Sportsman division this past Saturday night, as she led early over Shawn Hodge

and Jordan Wood. Denard had a great car and was able to drive away from the

field while Hodge and Wood battled for second and third. With 3 laps to go it

looked like Denard was cruising to her first career win but the caution would fly,

which forced a restart. When the final green flag flew, Denard would once again

charge to the lead as Shaw Hodge, Jordan Wood challenged from second and

third. After several early season struggles, the three year wait paid off as Holly

Denard would score a popular first career win in the 12 lap feature. Shawn Hodge

would come across in second over Jordan Wood, Paul Donnelly and Sandy

MacFarlane.

Todd Raabe took the lead on lap 5 of the 15 lap Street Stock feature from early

pace setter Christian Beaucheme. Raabe would start to pull away slightly while

behind him, Brighton Speedway regular Kraig Handley was making just his third

start of the season and was looking for his first ever Brockville win. Handley would

take over the lead once the race reached the half way point, as the fans were

treated to a great three car battle, with Todd Raabe and Peter Raabel. Several late

cautions slowed the event, but it would not stop Handley’s pursuit of victory lane

as Kraig Handley, would drive away in the final laps, to score his first Street Stock

win at “The BOS”. Todd Raabe, Peter Raabe, Brett Horner and Sylvain Gauthier

completed the top 5.

The 15 lap 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Cars saw a great battle between Matt

Billings and Lee Ladouceur on this night. Billings would pull away in the early laps

and appeared to be the driver to beat. However Ladouceur, who had 30 laps on

the speedway in the DIRTcar 358 Modified event, would close the gap on the

Brockville native and tried to get by for the lead. Despite the effort and the race

going 15 laps caution free, Matt Billings would make it three wins in three starts in

2022. Ladouceur settled for second over Ryan Poole, Tim Bailey and Luke Stewart.

Next week the DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman will be ready to go

along with the Novice Sportsman, 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints and the return of

the Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks. Racing gets underway at 7pm. For the

First career DIRTcar 358 Modified win for Johnathon Ferguson at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

Winning your first career feature is always something you remember and this

season at the Brockville Ontario Speedway we have seen many first-time winners.

This past Saturday saw a new winner, in the speedway’s premier division.

The night started off with a special 360 Sprint car event on Tackaberry

Construction night and local favorite Rick Wilson led the way at the start of the 20

lap feature, over Jordan Poirier and Chris Jones. Wilson and Poirier were the two

fastest on track and had a great battle. Wilson looked to have the race in control

but slipped off the top side of turns one and two, giving Poirier the lead on lap 11.

From there Jordan Poirier would go unmatched to score his first Brockville win

over Wilson and Jones, Paul Pekkonen was fourth with Jerome Tremblay fifth.

Jarrett Herbison took the lead at the start of the DIRTcar 358 Modified 30 lap

feature with Lee Ladouceur and Johnathon Ferguson completing the top three.

Herbison led the opening 8 laps until a yellow flew for Kalen Draper, who broke

his front end in turn 4. Herbison would continue to show the way but Johnathon

Ferguson was on the move, taking second from Ladouceur, then ran down his

good friend Herbison and a spirited battle took shape. Both drivers trade lanes

and positions on the track and even a little paint at times. Ferguson was able to

secure the lead on lap 12 with Herbison close by in 2nd and Tristan Draper coming

up to third. A quick yellow for Kyle Dingwall, who slowed in turn two with a

problem, bunched the field up for a restart. This time it was Herbison taking the

top spot back with Ferguson and Ryan Arbuthnot getting into the mix. Ferguson

however, was not done as he drove the car deep into turn three and slid by

Herbison to take away the lead. From this point it was all Johnathon Ferguson, as

he finally scored his first career DIRTcar 358 Modified win. Jarrett Herbison

finished a close second over Ryan Arbuthnot, Tristan Draper and Chris Raabe, who

borrowed Madison Mulder’s car after blowing a motor in his own ride, to come

from 9th to 5th.

The 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature nearly saw a first time winner. The start

saw a tangle in turn 4 when Michael Dillon spun, resulting a three car tangle.

Shane Stearns suffered the most damage and was towed to the pits. Kingston’s

Andrew Young led the way when the green flag flew over Dan Ferguson and

Brennan Moore. Young was running strong on this night using the bottom lane,

while Ferguson tried several times to get by on the high side. Behind them Bobby

Herrington was on the move as he moved to second and then patiently ran down

Andrew Young for the lead. On lap 14 Herrington would take control of the race

with Young back to second over Ferguson, Moore and Domonick Merkley. Bobby

Herrington had a fast race car on this night and built up a comfortable advantage

over the field with 5 to go. On this night the defending track champion was on his

game as he cruised to his third win of the season and second win in the last three

weeks. Andrew Young claimed a career best second with Dan Ferguson Brennan

Moore and Jessica Power, who came from 14th starting spot to finish 5th.

The Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks saw a great battle between Cornwall

Speedway invader Pierre Picard and Marc Dagenais on this night in the 15 lap

event. Picard was able to get by for the top spot on lap 5, as he was in search of

his first ever Brockville win. Behind the leader Dagenais started to experience

handling issues allowing points leader Jamie Larocque to charge to the runner up

spot with Matt Boal moving to third. As the laps wound down Picard continued to

build up a bigger lead and without help from a caution flag, nobody could close

the gap. “Captain” Pierre Picard, was able to take home his first ever Brockville

win on this night with Jamie Larocque crossing in second. Skylar Ladoucer, last

weeks winner, charged from the back after a pit stop to finish third over Matt

Boal and Dakota Boal.

Sandy MacFarlane had started the season strong, winning the first two events in

Novice Sportsman, but had not been to victory lane since. He would lead early

over Gavin MacFarlane and Keira Turner. The event nearly went caution free until

Turner spun in turns one and two, collecting three other drivers. All were able to

continue but Turner would head to the pits. On the restart Sandy MacFarlane

would grab the lead and go unchallenged to score his division leading third win of

the year. Jordan Wood crossed in second with last weeks winner Shawn Hodge

taking the final podium spot.

Next week another full program is set to go with the return of the 1000 Islands RV

Crate Sprint Cars and Street Stocks. Racing gets underway at 7pm. To view all the

Arbuthnot back in title contention with third DIRTcar 358 Modified win at

Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

The 2022 season at the Brockville Ontario Speedway has seen everything from

familiar faces, first time winners and other drivers having a breakout season. This

past week one of those drivers continued their break out season.

Jessica Power has had many multi-win seasons in her career and this season has

already won twice. In the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature she took the lead

from early race leader Dan Ferguson from her 4th starting spot. Once in front

Power began to pull away in the early laps. Behind her, Ferguson held 2nd but

Shane Stearns came from 7th on the grid as he got by Ricky Thompson for 3rd. By

the halfway point Power had checked out on the field and was on cruise control.

Ferguson and Stearns continued their fierce battle for 2nd however Ferguson was

up to the task as he held off Stearns, who appeared to have the faster car. In the

end, Jessica Power would continue her dream season, as she lead the final 20 laps

and authored a dominant performance to become the first three-time winner in

2022. Dan Ferguson, Shane Stearns, Ricky Thompson and Xavier Andrews

rounded out the top 5.

Jarrett Herbison has been running strong all season in the DIRTcar 358 Modified

division. On this night he would lead early over Madison Mulder and Kalen Draper

in the 30 lap contest. Herbison had a fast car and pulled out to a comfortable

advantage, but defending track champion Ryan Arbuthnot was on the move. After

starting 7th, the Renfrew native made his way by Mulder for 2nd and ran down

Herbison for the lead. Joe Banks, who was running in the top 5, spun in turn 3 but

would come back for a 6th place finish. On the restart Arbuthnot kept pace with

Herbison. Three laps later it was Arbuthnot to the lead as he started to drive away

on the bottom of the race track. Herbison’s shot at a great finish went away, as he

slowed in turn 3 while running third. This brought Kyle Dingwall and Chris Raabe

into the mix. On the restart it was Arbuthnot in front but Dingwall was giving him

all he could handle. Despite several late race restarts, Dingwall and Raabe could

do nothing with the leader, as Ryan Arbuthnot would cruise to his 3rd win of

2022. Dingwall and Raabe completed the podium, Tristan Draper rebounded from

a tangle with Madison Mulder to finish 4th with Johnathon Ferguson grabbing the

5th spot

Merkley AG Tire and Raabe Racing posted extra money in the Street Stock feature

and with that, came a few extra laps as well. Francis Gauthier led early in the 25

lap special over Brighton Speedway invader Jeff Humphry and opening day winner

Brett Horner. On lap 6 Humphry took control but Todd Raabe was on the move

from 8th as he got by Horner for 2nd. Humphry and Raabe would pull away from

the field and began their own battle for position as they put on a show for the

fans. On lap 17 a quick yellow for a Maxime Prevost spin, gave the field another

opportunity to try and get the lead. When the green flew it was Humphrey and

Raabe pulling away with Horner still in contention in 3rd. Over the final laps Todd

Raabe tried at will to get the lead but on this night, it was Jeff Humphry taking his

first win at Brockville since winning his first career feature at the Fall Nationals in

2019. Todd Raabe, Brett Horner, Brighton Speedway regular Kraig Handley and

Peter Raabe completed the top 5.

Shawn Hodge has had some tough luck in the Novice Sportsman division in 2022

and starting on the pole with a fast car gave him a little extra confidence on this

night. Hodge would lead early over Paul Donnelly and Sandy MacFarlane. Hodge

had the fastest car on the race track in the 12 lap feature as he pulled away with

no challengers in sight. Paul Donnelly was having his best night of 2022, as he held

2nd but Sandy MacFarlane closed to try and get by. With the race going caution

free, Shawn Hodge would run smooth consistent laps and finally get it done as he

scored his first career win. Paul Donnelly, Sandy MacFarlane, Jordan Wood and

last weeks winner Mario Dupuis finished 5th.

Mathieu Bardier was the talk of the track this past week as he came into the night

looking for three straight wins, but local driver Ryan Poole was looking for his

third win of the season, as he drove to the lead, over Luke Stewart and Bardier.

Poole was fast on this night as he tried to hold bottom lane through the entire 15

lap affair. In the final laps, the brakes on Ryan Poole’s machine were glowing

which allowed Stewart and Bardier to close. But it would not matter as Ryan

Poole would claim his third win of the year in the caution free event. Luke

Stewart, Mathieu Bardier, Lee Ladouceur, Bryan Cloutier and Tim Bailey would

complete the field.

The Vintage division brought 22 cars for the start of the 20 lap feature with Gavin

Riddell taking the top spot on lap 3 over Ian Gordon and Paul Billings. Riddell was

way out in front and worked his way through the traffic perfectly on this night.

Behind the leader Jason Riddell was on the move from 9th as he ran down 2nd

place Steve Billings in the closing laps. Gavin Riddell was perfect on this night

however, as he scored the win in dominant fashion. Jason Riddell would get by

Steve Billings for 2nd at the line, making it a father/son, 1-2 finish. Joey Hilts did a

masterful job of driving on this night also. Hilts would collect top honors for a 2nd

time in 2022, as the 50s and 60s division winner.

Next week Tackaberry Construction will be on hand as title sponsor and it is

autograph night. A special 360 Sprint Car show will take center stage and the

Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks will also return. The DIRTcar 358 Modified,

DIRTcar Sportsman and Novice Sportsman will also be back. Racing starts at 7pm.

Herbison fends off Dingwall for second straight 358 Modified win at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

The Brockville Ontario Speedway has seen some exciting racing action over the

course of the 2022 racing season and this past Saturday was event better.

Thrilling finishes had the crowd on its feet all night long.

It had been since 2019 since Chris Herbison last won a DIRTcar 358 Modified

feature until he took care of that a week ago. On this night he would be a force

once again. Kalen Draper was the early leader in the 30 lap event, over Terry

McClelland, Jeff Sykes, Joe Banks and Jarrett Herbison. Banks would take over the

lead on lap 4 which sparked a back-and-forth battle for the lead between Draper

and Banks, while behind them Chris Herbison, Kyle Dingwall and Johnathon

Ferguson were on the charge to the front. At the halfway point Ferguson moved

into contention as he took over second and brought Herbison to third. On lap 16

Chris Herbison made a big move going three wide to take over the top spot, with

Kyle Dingwall and Chris Raabe also moving into the top 5. Herbsion started to

check out and looked to be on his way to another win as Dingwall and Raabe both

settled into second and third. The caution flew for a final time on lap 25 giving

Dingwall and Raabe one final shot. When the green flew Herbison took the inside

lane away from both drivers after running the top lane for the majority of the

race. Despite a last ditch effort by Raabe and Dingwall, Chris Herbison would drive

on to his second win in a row and 8th of his Brockville Speedway career. Dingwall

and Raabe round out the podium while Johnathon Ferguson came home fourth

and Ryan Arbuthnot rebounded from early race issues to finish 5th.

Greg Brinklow has had some solid outings in 2022 and would grab the lead from

Michael Dillon at the start of the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature event.

Brinklow was fast in the opening laps and was on a mission to become the third

first time winner in as many weeks. However on lap 6 the motor expired and the

yellow flew. Dylan Kirkland would take control of the race and beginning to put in

a dominant performance as he held a big lead over Michael Dillon but defending

track champion Bobby Herrington was on the move. Herrington came from 10th

on the grid to charge to second but still had over a straight away to make up on

Kirkland. With 10 to go the lead gap began to shrink as Herrington adjusted his

line as the handling went away on Kirkland’s car. On lap 19 Herrington made his

move in turn 4 to take over the top spot for good. It had been since May 21st

since the defending champ went to victory lane and he would end that drought as

Bobby Herrington scored win number two of the season. Dylan Kirkland,

Domonick Merkley, Xavier Andrews and Shane Stearns completed the top 5.

The 15 lap Mini Stock feature saw Jamie Larocque claim the top spot over Matt

Boal and Cornwall invader Skylar Ladouceur. Ladouceur had one of the fastest

cars on the track as he battled with Larocque in the early laps. On lap 5 Ladouceur

took control of the race, while Larocque and Matt Boal continued to battle in the

top three. As the laps wound down Skylar Ladouceur got faster and without help

from a caution flag, Larocque and the rest of the field were going to have a tough

time catching the leader. On this night, Skylar Ladouceur proved to be too much

as he collected his first ever Brockville Mini Stock checkered flag. Jamie Larocque

had a solid points day finishing 2nd over Curtis Lindsay, Matt and Dakota Boal.

Mathieu Bardier was tough to catch one week ago in the Thousand Islands RV

Crate Sprints as he dominated the event. On this night it was almost the same as

Bardier took the lead in the 15 lap contest. Lee Ladouceur and Ryan Poole tried at

will to run down the race leader, but with the race going caution free Mathieu

Bardier would go unchallenged to score his 2nd win in a row. Lee Ladouceur and

Ryan Poole completed the podium.

Mario Dupuis has been close to winning in Novice Sportsman in his career and he

took the lead early in the 12 lap event and had the fastest car on the track. Dupuis

held the lead in the early laps as Nathan Lambert and Holly Denard gave chase.

The race was halted by several cautions that included top point runners like Gavin

and Sandy MacFarlane. Shawn Hodge also had problems late in the going forcing

him pitside. With 5 to go Dupuis was in control over Lambert, while Holly Denard

battled Stephane Fournier for 3rd. On lap 9 Denard and Fournier tangled resulting

in Denard, spinning out in turn 3. On the final restart Mario Dupuis finally put it all

together to score his first career Novice Sportsman win. Nathan Lambert crossed

in 2nd with Paul Donnelly 3rd.

Next week a regular card of racing is set to go at 7pm with the return of the

Vintage Modifieds and Street Stocks as they will join the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds,

DIRTcar Sportsman, Novice Sportsman and 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints. Racing

Herbison wins Brockville 358 Modified thrilling while Powers gets career first in

Sportsman

By: Tim Baltz

Temperatures were hot this past weekend at the Brockville Ontario Speedway.

With warm temperatures it meant the racing action was very intense and much

like a week ago, fans were treated to exciting finishes and yet another first-time

winner.

The DIRTcar Sportsman 25 lap feature saw Josh Powers, former Vintage Modified

driver, take the lead at the drop of the green flag over Tyler Stewart and Greg

Brinklow. Powers has had great runs all season but was looking for something

good to happen finally on this night. Powers held a comfortable lead but battled

some handling issues, which allowed Tyler Stewart to close the gap. A late caution

would stack the field up for a restart, which was what Stewart and Brinklow were

looking for. When the green flew Powers was in control but Stewart tried several

times to get by as Brinklow was under attack from Ricky Thompson and Bobby

Herrington. Stewart would close to within a car length but on this night, but it was

Josh Powers, finally scoring his first career DIRTcar Sportsman win. Stewart held

on for a career best second over Bobby Herrington and Xavier Andrews, while

Ricky Thompson got by Greg Brinklow at the line to finish fifth.

In DIRTcar 358 Modified action, veteran Jeff Sykes has called Brockville his

Saturday night home for 2022 and was looking to return to the winner’s circle

after many years away, as he jumped to the lead over Terry McClelland and

Tristan Draper. Sykes was using his experience at the speedway and opened up a

very comfortable lead by nearly a straightaway as McClelland and Draper tried to

keep pace. Meanwhile another veteran, Chris Herbison was on the charge as he

moved to the top three getting by McClelland for 3rd and then cleared Draper for

2nd. Sykes held a half straightaway lead but Herbison was driving hard and caught

Sykes with 4 to go. On lap 27 Herbison would use the bottom in turn 2 and take

over the lead after a great battle with Jeff Sykes. In the end it was Chris Herbison

taking his first win since August 17th of 2019 at Brockville. Sykes would claim

second over Joe Banks, Chris Raabe and Tristan Draper.

The Street Stocks saw a thrilling finish in their 15 lap feature event. Brett Horner

was looking to claim his 2nd of the season after winning the season opener on

May 14th. Horner led the way with veterans Todd Raabe and Steve Billing giving

chase. Horner and Raabe were able to put some distance on the field and have

their own spirited battle for the top spot. On lap 12 a yellow flew as Sylvain

Gauthier and Keith Riddell tangled in turns 1 and 2. On the final restart Todd

Raabe, who usually loves the inside lane at “The BOS”, would take the outside

groove in turn 4, as he drove by Horner for the lead. Todd Raabe would go

uncontested from there to win his 2nd feature in a row over Brett Horner and

Steve Billings.

Jordan Wood led early at the start of the 15-lap novice Sportsman feature but the

action was behind him. Points leader Sandy MacFarlane had problems in turn two

and tangled with Nathan Lambert on lap 3. Then on lap 6 Paul Donnelly had issues

in turn, which ended with his car going to the pits on the hook. When the race got

going Jordan Wood paced the field comfortably, but Holly Denard was closing fast

and looking to get her first ever win. On lap 8 Shawn Hodge would see a good

finish go away as he broke in turn 4. On the final restart Holly Denard would make

it close but Jordan Wood would drive on to victory lane, his 2nd win in 3 weeks.

Denard settled for 2nd with Gavin MacFarlane charging to third at the checkers.

In 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint car action it was a caution free 15 lap feature

event. Quebec driver Mathieu Bardier would jump to the lead at the start of the

race and pull away from the field. With the race going caution free 2nd place Lee

Ladouceur and third place Ryan Poole could do nothing about it, as Mathieu

Bardier would claim his first Brockville win. Lee Ladouceur, Ryan Poole, Luke

Stewart and Tim Bailey completed the field.

Next week Rycon Electrical will be on hand for a full program with the Supernant

Truckshop Mini Stocks back on the card. Racing gets underway at 7pm. For

Raabe notches second Brockville 358 Modified win, Merkley Scores first in

Sportsman

By: Tim Baltz

Track conditions were totally different this past Saturday at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway. A smooth surface and multiple grooves provided the fans with great

action and exciting finishes, on Polite Sand and Gravel night.

In DIRTcar 358 Modified action Joe Banks paced the field at the start of the 30 lap

event over Kalen Draper and Madison Mulder. Lee Ladouceur moved to the front

quickly and closed in on Banks for the lead. Heading into turn 3 Banks lost control

of his car after slight contact from Ladouceur sent him spinning. On the restart

Ladouceur charged to the lead and was flying around the top side. Meanwhile

Chris Raabe was on the move as he took second from Chris Herbison on lap 15.

Ladouceur continued his run around the outside lane but Raabe was able to close

the gap as the top two pulled away from the field. On lap 28 Raabe made the

winning move in turn 2, taking the lead on the inside lane. From there Chris Raabe

made it look easy as he claimed win number two of the season. Ladouceur held

on for 2nd while Quebec invader Steve Bernier came from the back of the field to

finish third. Chris and Jarrett Herbison finished out the top 5.

Domonick Merkley had struggled since getting into the DIRTcar Sportsman

division but on this night, he would take the lead from the front row over Trent

Wallace and Tyler Stewart. Merkley had a fast race car and was showing no signs

of letting up as he pulled away from the field in the early laps. Behind the leader

Dylan Kirkland was on the charge as he moved to third on lap 13 and closed in on

Trent Wallace for 2nd. Merkley continued his dominance as he ran the bottom

lane, but Kirkland was one of the fastest cars on track, taking 2nd from Wallace,

but still had some ground to make up on the leader. With 5 laps to go the top two

drivers were nose to tail and putting on a great show for the fans. On the final lap

Kirkland charged to the high lane in turn 3 but couldn’t make it stick. Domonick

Merkley finally put all the bad luck behind him as he scored his first ever DIRTcar

Sportsman win in the caution free, 25 lap feature. Dylan Kirkland claimed second

over Bobby Herrington, Trent Wallace and Brennan Moore.

Ryan Poole was the dominant force in the 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint car

feature. Poole led early on over Lee Ladouceur and Mathieu Bardier. Poole had a

fast car but Ladouceur and Bardier, were making it close as the laps clicked off. On

the final lap of the caution free 12 lap contest, Bardier made his move to take

second in turns one and two, but nobody was catching Ryan Poole and he scored

his 2nd straight win. Mathieu Bardier crossed in 2nd over Lee Ladoucer Rick

Wilson and Tim Bailey.

The 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature saw a thrilling finish between father and son

Sandy and Gavin MacFarlane. Gavin led early on but Sandy was on the charge to

the front taking second from Olivier Boissonneault at half way and tried hard to

catch his son for the lead. On the final lap Sandy would pull even with Gavin, but

on this night the kid got there first, as Gavin MacFarlane scored his second win of

the season. Gavin’s Father, Sandy MacFarlane held on for second. Olivier

Boissonneault, Shawn Hodge and Josh Jock rounded out the top 5.

The Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stock division saw Hayden Brown lead the way

over Matt Boal and Max Steele in the early going. Brown had a fast race car and

would pull away from a quality field in the 15 lap feature. Defending track

champion Jarrod Galway would makes some big moves through the field in the

late going, as he took the second spot from Matt Boal, but still had work to do to

catch the leader. On this night, without the help of a caution flag nobody was

catching Hayden Brown as he marched to his first win of 2022. Galway crossed in

second, over Matt Boal, Jamie Larocque and Max Steele.

The 20 lap Vintage feature took a few restarts to get going, but once the laps

clicked off it was former DIRTcar 358 Modfied and DIRTcar Sportsman driver

Jason Riddell taking the lead over Randy Gaudet and Gavin Riddell. The division,

which also features a 50s and 60s division, that competes in the same race, can

see a lot of traffic as Riddell found out during the race. Gaudet however, was

doing all he could to catch Riddell on this night, but it was not to be. Jason Riddell

didn’t let lapped traffic or his nearest competitor stand in his way, as he grabbed

his first Vintage win of the year over Randy Gaudet, Paul Billings, Gavin Riddell

and Steve Billings.

Next week Draper Doors will be on hand for a full show in all divisions. The

Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks and Vintage have the night off, but the Street

Stocks will make their return to action. For further information head to our

Arbuthnot and Ferguson Strike first in Ogilvie’s Series at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

The Brockville Ontario Speedway may have seen a lot of rain during the week, but

track crews did all they could to make the best racing surface possible this past

Saturday night. The night provided great excitement and thrilling finishes.

The 40 lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Sportsman Series, which was also the first leg of

the DIRTcar Sportsman North Canada Region, saw Adam Rozon lead the way over

Bobby Herrington, Xavier Andrews, Shane Pecore and Shane Stearns. Rozon was

fast early, but it was Pecore taking control of the race on lap 10, over Rozon and

Stearns. Defending track champion Bobby Herrington charged to second at

halfway and was closing on Pecore quickly. On lap 24 Herrington took the lead as

Pecore began to fade. Behind the leaders Cedric Gauvreau, Jessica Power and

Shane Stearns were charging forward and broke into the top 5 and would be key

players in the later stages. On lap 27 Pecore’s great night came to an end as he

stopped off turn 4. On the restart Herrington looked to have the car to beat but

with three laps to go he would break and attempt to pull into the infield. Cedric

Gauvreau tried to get by but tangled with Herrington, allowing Jessica Power and

Dan Ferguson to get by and the yellow flew. On the final restart Power led the

way and was looking for her first Ogilvie’s win and DIRTcar Sportsman tour win

but Dan Ferguson drove to the top side and grabbed the lead at the white flag.

Power tried to get back by but Dan Ferguson would score his first Ogilvie’s win

and first ever DIRTcar Sportsman Series win also. Power crossed 2nd over Adam

Rozon, Shane Stearns and Fire Swamp.

The 50 lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown for the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds took to the

speedway and Chris Raabe was the dominant force over Brian McDonald and

defending track and series champion Ryan Arbuthnot. Raabe had a great car and

was looking to drive away from the field while McDonald, Arbuthnot, Gage Morin

and Tristan Draper tried to keep pace. On lap 26 while in traffic, Raabe and

McDonald both went for the same piece of real estate, resulting in McDonald

making heavy contact with an infield tire in turn 2 ending his night. This brought

Arbuthnot and Draper into the mix on the restart, as Raabe grabbed the lead, but

it would be short lived. Raabe broke in turns three and four ending his chance at

victory. Ryan Arbuthnot would take the lead and a great battle with Tristan

Draper took place, as Draper tried several times to get by but couldn’t make it

work, while Gage Morin watched the battle from third. On lap 46 Draper’s night

came to an end as he broke the front end in turn 4. On the final restart it was a

battle between two former series champions as Gage Morin, the 2015 Ogilvie’s

champion, tried to get by Arbuthnot. On this night it was all Ryan Arbuthnot as he

marched to his 2nd win of 2022. Morin settled for 2nd, with Johnathon Ferguson

recovering from two early race spins to finish 3rd. Ryan Scott came from a lap

down early on to finish 4th and Chris Herbison recovered from early race issues to

finish 5th.

Nathan Lambert led the opening 4 laps of the 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature

over Kiera Turner and Sandy MacFarlane, who was in a borrowed ride for the

night. Lambert was fast but the yellow flew on lap 4 for Paul Donnelly, who broke

in turn 4. On the restart, MacFarlane took the lead and drove away from

everyone. MacFarlane would cross the line in the top spot over Jordan Wood and

Mini Stock star Hayden Brown. MacFarlane however, would come up a bit short

of the minimum weight at the scales, which would give the win to a surprised

Jordan Wood, his 2nd win in the division, Hayden Brown would get credit for 2nd

with Shawn Hodge completing the podium.

Todd Raabe is always a dominant driver in the Street Stock ranks and this night

was no different. Raabe started up front, took the lead and would go

unchallenged the entire way to win the caution free 12 lap feature. Brighton

Speedway regular and former Brockville Fall Nationals champion Jeff Humphries

was 2nd with opening day winner Brett Horner taking 3rd.

Next week Polite’s Sand and Gravel will be on hand as title sponsor for a full show

plus the return of the Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks and 1000 Islands RV

Crate Sprints. Racing gets underway at 7pm.

Dingwall and Andrews return to Brockville winners circle after early season

struggles

By: Tim Baltz

After a week off the drivers at the Brockville Ontario Speedway were well rested

and ready to get back at it on Jim’s Performance Plus night. Five classes of action

took to the track and the drivers put on a fantastic show. The BOS also held a

special benefit for University of Southwest Golf Team member Hayden Underhill,

who was badly injured in an accident, that took the lives of several others

following a tournament in Texas. Underhill thanked all in attendance for their

support as he continues to heal.

The 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature saw Xavier Andrews take the lead at the

drop of the green flag with Brennan Moore, Dylan Kirkland, Greg Brinklow and

Ricky Thompson filling out the top 5. After a quick caution on lap 5 for a stopped

Jamie Young, the green returned and Andrews wasted no time pulling away from

the field, but the driver on the move was defending track champion Bobby

Herrington. After starting 17th, Herrington would charge to the front eventually

getting to the top three with 5 laps to go but had work to do to catch the leader.

On lap 21 Herrington would get by Brennan Moore for 2nd but still had nearly a

straight away to catch Andrews, who finally had a fast car and was running well,

looking for his first win in nearly 3 seasons. On lap 23 the final yellow flew, setting

up a 2-lap finish. On the final restart, Andrews got a great restart and pulled away

to score his 2nd career Brockville Sportsman win. Despite a right rear tire going

down, Herrington would cross in 2nd with Brennan Moore, Dylan Kirkland and

Ricky Thompson completing the top 5.

In the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature Johnathon Ferguson led the majority of the

30-lap feature event. After a slip in turn two by early leader Terry McClelland on

lap 4, Ferguson would hold a comfortable lead over Kyle Dingwall and Ryan

Arbuthnot. The top two would pull away from the field and put on a great show

for the fans. Dingwall was working over Ferguson for several laps but was not able

to get by for the lead, as the race approached halfway. With the top 2 battling,

Ryan Arbuthnot would close in and make it a three-car battle. A quick yellow flew

on lap 19 for Kalen Draper, who spun to a stop in turn 2. On the restart, Ferguson

was not able to hold the lead, as Dingwall took over in turn 1, while Arbuthnot

closed in on Ferguson for 2nd. Once in front Dingwall was pulling away and

making it look easy but it all changed on lap 27 as the yellow flag came back out

as Chris Herbison clipped an infield tire in turn 2. On the final restart, Dingwall

was not to be denied as he drove away to claim his 17th career Brockville

Speedway DIRTcar 358 Modified win, tying him with Tony Blake on the all time

list. Johnathon Ferguson was able to drive by Ryan Arbuthnot to pick up 2nd, with

Joe Banks and Jarrett Herbison rounding out the top 5.

The first two events in the 2022 Novice Sportsman division have gone to someone

with the last name MacFarlane, mainly Sandy MacFarlane, on this night it was

Gavin MacFarlane’s turn to shine as he led at the drop of the green flag in the 12-

lap feature over Keira Turner and Jordan Wood. MacFarlane held the lead

comfortably until the yellow flew at half way for Turner, who spun in turn 2. On

the restart Gavin MacFarlane was once again well in front, but Shawn Hodge

would make a charge for the lead. On the final lap off turn 4 the two drivers made

slight contact, but at the finish by a half car length, it was Gavin MacFarlane

picking up his first ever win. Hodge claimed 2nd with, Jordan Wood, Sandy

MacFarlane and Nathan Lambert completing the top 5.

This season Hayden Brown has been splitting time between Novice Sportsman

and Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks. On this night it was a sole focus on the

Mini Stock, as he held the lead early over Jarrod Galway, Jamie Larocque, Pierre

Picard and Tyson Slinger. Brown had the fastest car on track and it looked like he

would be coasting into George Tackaberry Boulevard on this night with no

problems. On lap 12 that all changed as Brown would slow with a right front flat

tire, ending his shot for victory. On the final restart defending track champion

Jarrod Galway would hold off long time friend and teammate Jamie Larocque to

score his first win of the season, with Pierre Picard, Dakota Boal and Tyson Slinger

completing the top 5

The evenings action also featured a 15-lap event for the 1000 Islands RV Crate

Sprint Cars. Ryan Poole took the lead at the drop of the green flag and never

looked back. Poole led all 15 laps in the caution free race for his first win of 2022.

Mathieu Bardier and Lee Ladouceur completed the podium.

Next week it will be the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown Series opener for

the DIRTcar 358 Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman. Also, for the Sportsman it will

be part of the DIRTcar Sportsman North Regional Series. Drivers have the chance

to earn points towards the overall DIRTcar Sportsman Series title in the fall.

Hebert leaves Brockville Fall Nationals with Ten Thousand reasons to smile,

Power makes history with DIRTcar Sportsman win

By: Tim Baltz

It may have taken until May of 2022 to finish off the 13th edition of the Dirt

Outlaw Apparel/King Edward Auto Parts Fall Nationals at the Brockville Ontario

Speedway, but it was well worth the wait. Repeat champions and history makers

headlined the day, making this event one to remember.

The green was out for the start of the $10,000 to win DIRTcar 358 Modified

feature and pole sitter David Hebert led the way with Ryan Arbuthnot closing

quickly. On lap 6 the two time Brockville track champion made short work of

Hebert as he took the lead and started to pull away. Despite a couple of yellows

for minor spins, Ryan Arbuthnot was not phased by the challenges Hebert gave

him, as he would pull away easily, as the race closed in on lap 30. On lap 31

Hebert start to reel in the race leader as 3rd place Gary Lindberg was also making

a charge to the front of the field. The race would be slowed on lap 42. 2016 Fall

Nationals Sportsman champion Louie Jackson Jr., hit the turn 4 wall hard. Jackson

was fine but the car suffered heavy damage. When the green flew Hebert and

Arbuthnot remained in control but David Hebert was right there to challenge. On

lap 59 David Hebert would make his move for the lead and put on a dominant

performance, with Gary Lindberg, Kyle Dingwall and Corey Wheeler in the top 5.

The track began to get slick as drivers had to take care of their cars, which was

good for Hebert as he continued his great run. On lap 65 Gary Lindberg broke the

front end on his car, which ended his day. David Hebert would get a great launch

on the next restart over Arbuthnot, Dingwall, Wheeler and Danny O’Brien, who

charged from 18th to 5th. On this day, David Hebert was smooth and steady as he

would go unchallenged to claim his 2nd DIRTcar 358 Modified Fall Nationals

championship and $10,000. Ryan Arbuthnot, Kyle Dingwall, Corey Wheeler and

Danny O’Brien completed the top 5.

Brad Rouse picked up the win for the Friday night portion of the Fall Nationals in

October, he was back to look for the sweep. Cedric Gauvreau paced the field early

in the 50 lap event, but Rouse would take command of the field and start to

author a dominant performance, that many have not seen in recent memory.

Rouse would build up over a straight away lead by lap 24 but behind him,

Gauvreau, Jessica Power Fire Swamp and Gilles Godard were putting on a great

show for the fans as Power did all she could to take the number two spot away.

By lap 30 Rouse had lapped to nearly the top 10 and showed no signs of letting up

on a track that was slick and challenging. On lap 35 the field got a breather as the

yellow flew, which brought Fire Swamp to 2nd and looking to claim his first ever

win. When the green flew Rouse pulled away once again but Jessica Power made

her way to 2nd and the battle was on as Gauvreau and Godard were starting to

close in one more time. With 10 to go it looked like Rouse could not be stopped. A

turn of events on lap 42 when Rouse slowed with a vibration, as Jessica Power

made a big move to grab the lead and the yellow flew. On the final restart Jessica

Power hit it perfectly as she pulled away to a comfortable advantage with Swamp,

Godard, Gauvreau and Dylan Kirkland giving chase. On this day Jessica Power

would go on and become the first female competitor to win a Fall Nationals title

in the event’s 13 year history. Fire Swamp settled for 2nd with Gilles Godard

Cedric Gauvreau and Dylan Kirkland completing the top 5.

Kraig Handley was the driver to beat early on in the 30 lap Street Stock event over

Brock Gregory and defending race winner Adam Turner. The yellow would fly

quickly for a three car tangle in turn 4, however all drivers were able to continue.

When the green returned Kraig Handley was out front and began to pull away

from a quality field leaving Gregory to battle with Adam Turner for 2nd along with

Dave McDonald and Todd Raabe. Handley was clearly the fastest car on the track

and was destined for victory as behind him, Adam Turner would wrestle the 2nd

spot away, but still had work to do to catch the leader. With 3 laps to go, Kraig

Handley would have a disappointing end to his day as a big cloud of smoke came

from the back of his car, giving Adam Turner the race lead. On the final restart,

Adam Turn would hold off a determined Brock Gregory to score his 2nd straight

Fall Nationals Street Stock win. Gregory held on for 2nd while Todd Raabe

charged to 3rd over former Fall Nationals champion Doug O’Blenis and Mike

Lucas.

The 25 lap 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car feature was a great battle all race long

as Darrell Pelletier led the way over defending track champion Matt Billings and

Ryan Poole. Pelletier had a quick car as he drove away in the opening laps to over

a straight away lead. At half way, Pelletier continued to lead but Billings was

closing quickly. On lap 16 Ryan Poole would slide off the top of the track ending

his shot for a win. When the green flew Billings remained up front but Lee

Ladouceur was on the move taking 2nd away, but had some work to catch the

leader. As the laps wound down Lee Ladouceur would get close but it was not

meant to be as Matt Billings would march on to his first Fall Nationals

championship in Crate Sprints. Ladouceur would finish 2nd over Pelletier Ryan

Poole and Brett Stratford.

The 25 lap Vintage feature was full of action from the start of the event. Former

Modified star Jason Riddell jumped into the lead early on over Steve Billings and

Randy Gaudet. Billings was on a mission get his Dave Heaslip tribute car to victory

lane, as he took the first step in grabbing the lead from Riddell on lap 7. From

there Billings was making it look easy but Gaudet and Josh Powers were having a

great battle for 2nd. On lap 15 following a quick caution, Ian Gordon came off

turn 4 and got out of shape. Several cars piled in causing Gordon to flip over on

his roof. Despite the hard hit, Gordon was able to walk away uninjured. When the

green came back out Steve Billings continued to lead but had a problem as the

rear end broke on his car. Billings kept going as he was determined to get to

victory lane. The determination paid off as Billings would claim his first Fall

Nationals Vintage win to go along with his 2009 Street Stock win. Randy Gaudet,

Brandon Gregory, Josh Powers and Gavin Riddell would round out the top 5.

Regular racing action returns Saturday night with a full show for the DIRTcar 358

Modified and DIRTcar Sportsman. The 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints and Novice

Raabe Earns first DIRTcar 358 Modified win at Brockville

By: Tim Baltz

(BROCKVILLE,ON) There may have been threatening weather in the region

Saturday night and yes, Mother Nature provided some moisture to the Brockville

Ontario Speedway before the races. Track crews were able to work that in which

made for some wild action on the evening.

Jeff Sykes was the early leader at the start of the 30 lap DIRTcar 358 Modified

feature with Raabe, Madison Mulder, Chris Herbison and Ryan Arbuthnot giving

chase. Sykes would remain the leader until lap 9, when Raabe took advantage of a

small mistake by Sykes to grab the lead. Last weeks winner Ryan Arbuthnot was

on the move as he charged to 2nd and was looking for back to back wins. On lap

16 Arbuthnot’s great run ended as he hit tire in turn two, breaking the front end.

On the restart Raabe once again would take the lead with Madison Mulder and

Chris Herbison looking for a way to catch him. On this night, a fast race track and

a good handling race car would finally get Chris Raabe a DIRTcar 358 Modified

feature win at “The BOS”. Madison Mulder would hold off Chris Herbison for 2nd

with Tristan Draper and Even Racine finishing out the top 5.

The 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature saw defending track champion Bobby

Herrington take the lead at the drop of the green flag with Josh Powers and

Andrew Young close behind. Herrington had a dominant season last year and was

strong in the early laps. On lap 6 a three car tangle brought out the first yellow

flag of the race for a tangle with Jamie Young, Trent Wallace and Dale Gifford.

When the green flew it was Herrington in control as he once again charged to a

big lead, over Andrew Young and Josh Powers. Young had a great car but his luck

would change just past the halfway point. On a lap 17 restart Young got loose in

turn 1 and spun out, Brennan Moore tried to avoid but got into Young and flipped

over in turn two. Moore would get out uninjured, while Young would return to

finish 12th. On the final restart Bobby Herrington drive away and score win

number one of the season, over Shane Stearns, Cedric Gauvreau, Dan Ferguson

and Tyler Stewart, who came from 14th to 5th.

The action was wild in the 15 lap 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car feature. Local

driver Matt Billings led the way early over Bryan Cloutier and Ryan Poole. On lap 4

the first of two red flags flew as Ashton VanEvery flipped his car in turn 4, but

would get out without injury. Billings would continue his great run after the

restart, however behind him, things would take a bad turn. On lap 11 rookie Tim

Bailey would slam into an infield tire in turn 1, sending him across the track right

in the path of Jeffrey Weare. Both drivers flipped and the red flag returned. Safety

crews arrived on the scene quickly and both Weare and Bailey would walk away

uninjured, but the cars were destroyed. After that Matt Billings would close out

the final 4 laps to score his first win of the season in his first start of the year.

Bryan Cloutier and Lee Ladouceur would complete the podium.

Jordan Wood used the pole position to grab the lead at the start of the 12 lap

Novice Sportsman feature. Last weeks winner Sandy MacFarlane would charge

through the field and close in on the leader and take over the top spot, as he was

looking for his second win in a row. MacFarlane would take over the lead on lap 5,

as he had a strong race car all night long. Despite a late charge from Nathan

Lambert and Shawn Hodge, Sandy MacFarlane would go back to back to start the

Novice Sportsman season. Lambert held on for 2nd with Shawn Hodge claiming

his second straight podium finish.

Marc Dagenais was dominant in the early laps of the Supernant Truck Shop Mini

Stock feature event with Marc Supernant and Max Steele completing the top 3.

On lap 6 Dagenais would go off the track in turn 3 and 4, bringing out the yellow.

Dagenais would head to the pits but would not return. This put Marc Supernant in

the lead but on the restart, Supernant would get turned by Hayden Brown in turn

2 and the yellow flew again. This left Dakota Boal in the lead with Jamie Larocque

there to challenge. The top two had great cars with Boal looking for his first ever

win. A caution flew on lap 13 setting up a two lap dash to the finish. Boal would

lead on the restart but he slipped wide and opened the door for Larocque to get

by. On this night, the dry spell would come to an end, as Jamie Larocque would

claim his first win since August 3rd of 2019 at Brockville. Dakota Boal would cross

in 2nd with Hayden Brown completing the podium.

Victoria Day Monday the conclusion of the 2021 Dirt Outlaw Apparel/Kings

Edward Auto Parts Fall Nationals will take place. Pit gates will open at 1pm with

driver check in taking place. Hot laps begin at 4pm with the first qualifying heat of

Arbuthnot and Power charge to season opening wins at Brockvile, Power outage

ends the night

By: Tim Baltz

The 2022 season is finally underway at the Brockville Ontario Speedway. Mother

Nature tried her best to end the night early, as a nearby storm just missed the

speedway, allowing for some great racing action to take place.

Jessica Power used the pole starting position to lead the early portion of the 25

lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature. Power had a solid race car as she held off Tyler

Givogue, defending track champion Bobby Herrington, Shane Stearns and

Domonick Merkley. The top 3 began to pull away, however Tyler Givogue was

showing speed early. Givogue would use the top side to grab the lead as he was in

search of his first Brockville win. Givogue was pulling away with Power keeping

pace, but on lap 15 Josh Powers, who was running inside the top 5, was tagged by

another driver collecting Andrew Young, Jamie Young and Trent Wallace. Greg

Brinklow received heavy damage in the accident as he slammed into the Powers

number 73. All drivers were ok and many were done for the night. Once racing

resumed Givogue once again held the lead but Power and new third place driver

Bobby Herrington were closing quickly as the laps wound down. Power’s car got

faster and with 2 laps remaining, took the lead from Givoque, who began to fade

in the late stages. From there Jessica Power would go unchallenged to win for the

6th time in her Brockville career and first since 2020. Givogue held off Herrington

for 2nd with Shane Stearns and Ricky Thompson completing the top 5.

Tristan Draper and Chris Herbison led the field to green to start the 30 lap DIRTcar

358 Modified feature. After a side by side battle it was Herbison taking control of

the race with defending track champion Ryan Arbuthnot 3rd. It wasn’t long before

the defending champion went to work as he took over the top spot on lap 3 and

began to author a dominating performance, as he opened up over a full straight

away advantage on the field. Behind him Kyle Dingwall was on the move taking

2nd from Draper while Chris Raabe moved to 4th as Herbison completed the top

5. A caution flew to bunch the field up at halfway giving Dingwall and others,

another shot at the leader. On the restart Arbuthnot and Dingwall made contact

heading into turn one sending Dingwall spinning. Jeremy LaSalle slammed into

Dingwall’s car ending both drivers nights. LaSalle needed medical attention but

would walk away from the incident. Both cars were done for the night. After the

restart it was a battle between Arbuthnot and one of the top drivers in the region

Chris Raabe. The Alexandria native was closing in on Arbuthnot for the lead and

pulled even at the white flag. The two drivers raced door to door coming off the

turn with Arbuthnot winning by a half car length at the finish. Raabe would finish

2nd with Tristan Draper, Jarrett Herbison and Joe Banks making up the top 5.

The 15 lap 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints took to the speedway next and Lee

Ladouceur was on a mission. After a top 10 run in the 358 Modified feature,

Ladouceur would go to the front early over Mathieu Bardier and Ryan Poole.

Without the help of a caution flag, Bardier, Poole, Francis Laliberte and Tim Bailey

had little chance of catching the veteran. Ladouceur would cruise on to his first

Brockville Speedway Crate Sprint Car win over Bardier and Poole.

Caution flags slowed the early portion of the 12 lap Novice Sportsman feature but

eventually veteran Sandy MacFarlane would take charge of the field over Holly

Denard and Nathan Lambert. Denard would keep it close in the early laps, as she

battled MacFarlane throughout the entire race. Behind the top 2 Shawn Hodge

was making his debut in this division and moved to the top 3 late in the going. In

the end Sandy MacFarlane was not to be denied as he held off Denard and Hodge

to score the big win. Holly Denard scored a career best 2nd with Shawn Hodge’s

debut resulting in a third place finish.

The Street Stock feature was slated for 12 laps, however something unexpected

was about to change that. Steve Billings led the way early on with Nick Gauvreau

and Brett Horner right there to challenge. Billings had a fast car at the start but

Horner was on the move. The Kingston native took 2nd from Gauvreau using the

bottom, as he charged after Billings. At the half way point Billings spun while

leading which brought out the yellow. While under yellow, a power outage across

the region left the track in the dark. Race officials would deem the race official as

there was no estimated time to fix the problem. With this Brett Horner was

flagged the winner of the race over Billings, Nick Gauvreau, Patrice Foster and

Francis Gauthier.

Next week a full show is back with the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman

and Novice Sportsman. The Supernant Truck Shop Mini Stocks will be on hand for

their first appearance of the year. The 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprints will also be

back for a second straight week.
