Sommerville and Myles Harris take Checkers!!

Fredericton, NB – After an exciting weekend of racing last weekend, fans were looking forward to the big races this weekend, the Twin 100’s. The Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman 100 and Coast Tire Best of the Best Pro Stock 100 are now in the books at Speedway 660.  Unfortunately Mother Nature has been less than kind this summer.  The good news is, it was a gorgeous day for racing.

Today’s event featured regular points racing the in the Coast Tire Street Stock, Martin’s Home Heating division had their first big race of the 2009 season and the second and final race of the Best of the Best two race series sponsored by Coast Tire.

In the Coast Tire Street Stock division Brian Fox was the big winner of the afternoon picking up a win in dash and the 20-lap feature.  Fox took the lead late in the race. Trent Noble who was having a good run led a lot of the race but came up a little short.  Mike Francis finished a close second and Matt Matheson rounded out the top 3 for a podium Finish.

The Martins Home Heating Sportsman 100 was very exciting. The big battle all evening was between Michael Banks and Calvin Rankin. The two battled back and forth with many lead changes between the two.  Competition was fierce tonight. It looked like the race was between Banks and Rankin until Myles Harris sprinted into the picture. Most of the drivers favored the highside of the track until Myles to his # 31 to the bottom and got him in the top spot. Harris came in the scene much later but he was there in the end to take the win the Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman 100. Michael Banks crossed the finish lined second but then failed post race inspection.  That moved Matt Maillet to second and Derek Christie to 3rd.

There were 18 cars that started the Coast Tired Best of the Beat Pro Stock 100. When the green flag fell something broke on Chris Duncans car and caused the car to turn around infront of most of the field.  Several cars were done for the night.  After that Brian Gillespie sprinted into the early lead and soon after was challenged my Lonnie Sommerville. Lonnie was driver the #87 car for Matt Harris. Harris had won race 1 and was unable to race tonight. Lonnie challenged Brian for the lead and then moved the #87 to the top spot. The big race after that was for third between Brent Wiggins and Greg Fahey.  The two battled back and forth for many laps. Brian Gillespie finished in second and Brent Wiggins rounded out the top three. The Winner of the Best of the Best series was Greg Fahey.

Tune in next Saturday night for the Enduro 200. This is the first time an Enduro has been on a Saturday night in many years. The other weekly points divisions will not be racing.
