Fan Appreciation Night Photo Album

(Aug. 21st, 2016) Race fans were treated to  great entertainment at Speedway 660 last Saturday during Fan Appreciation Night. It started off with an on-track autograph session and ended with hard fought feature races in all four weekly divisions as drivers scrambled for as many points as possible in the second last point race of the season. We invite you to check out our Fan Appreciation Night Photo Album.

Greg Fahey fan appreciation night 2016We’ll start things off with Greg Fahey who has just signed an autograph for this young race fan. It’s amazing how a driver can be so calm, cool and collected just prior to racing hard and chasing a championship in our top division.Fan Appreciation Night 2016It’s always pretty cool to see all of the cars, drivers and race teams on the track at the same time. Fan Appreciation Night is a pretty special race date for everyone at 660!Fan Appreciation Night 2016This young lady got to sit inside the “Grey Owl’s” race car. Maybe in a few years we’ll see her out on the track running the wheels off a race car!Tom Gilmore pace truck driver fan appreciation 2016Maybe this young lady would like to have Tom Gilmore’s job and drive the Riverview Ford F-150 Pace truck.Fan Appreciation NightFans kept Brent Roy and our other drivers pretty busy signing autographs.

Nice little battle for the lead gets the fans on the edge of their seats.Grey Owl sharp shooter heat win Aug 20, 2016And the winner is Grey Owl, who makes his first ever visit to the Riverview Ford Victory Lane. Or is it? Maybe it’s that little girl we saw in the car during the autograph session!Sharp Shooter action 2016The 2nd sharp shooter heat was also hotly contested with Brody Levesque beating Kyle MacKinnon to the stripe for the win. Look for these two dudes to continue their rivalry later on in the feature. Destiny Enkel street stock heat win Aug 20, 2016 Destiny Enkel wins the first DMR Auto Sales Street Stock heat race of the night. Destiny is one of a growing number of talented young ladies who have taken our sport by storm over the last few years.Riley Goodwin street stock heat win Aug. 20, 2016 Riley Goodwin wins street stock heat number two. This young 4th generation driver has been on a roll the last month or so. We’ll soon find out if he can keep the momentum growing when the street stocks return for their 30 lap feature.Wade Harris Aug 20, 2016How did this picture get in here?

It is Wade and he’s back! Jordan Viennotte sportsman heat winner Aug 20, 2016Jordan Vienotte, whose home track is Scotia SpeedWorld, drove up from the Ocean playground to play with our Martins Home Heating Division drivers on Saturday night.

Dave hasn’t been in the pro stock in over two months because he’s focused on supporting his two daughter’s racing effort. Could this be a little “shake-down” for the MacLaughlin Roof Trusses 250. We’ll have to wait until SpeedWeekend to find out. Dustin Tucker pro stock heat win Aug 20, 2016Dustin Tucker has a fast car and gets it done in the second pro stock heat race.

What’s up with that? Oh, perhaps they grew up in the sixties and are flashing peace signs! street stock action 2016What goes on when the sun goes down? In this case it’s a little “get-together” in the DMR Auto Sales Street Stock feature.street stock action 2016Riley Goodwin leads a lot of laps early, but later in the race here comes the “Belle of the Ball”.Riley Goodwin 3rd street stock feature Aug 20, 2016 Riley had another great run and follows his heat win up with an impressive 3rd place finish in the street stock feature.

She just may have to win number 7 on the Night of Champions if she hopes to over-take Rob and win the championship.Ryan Messer sportsman feature win Aug 20, 2016Ryan Messer has got lots to smile about after parking “Big Orange” in victory lane. That win brings Ryan one step closer to the Martins Home Heating Sportsman Championship. BTW Ryan’s two little friends are about the same age he was when he started racing bandos. How about it boys? We want to get that bando division back in action next year and you guys look like you’d be pretty good little drivers!Jacob Logan 2nd place sportsman feature Aug 20, 2016Jacob Logan led much of the sportsman race before Ryan got him with a few laps to go.

Fahey will go into the Night of Champions with the point lead in the Re/Max Group Four Realty Pro Stock Division but knows he’ll have to go hard to capture that title.
