(FREDERICTON, NB – June 24th, 2021) – The Atlantic Modified Tour will visit its third different track in as many races on Saturday evening when the Series competes at Speedway 660 in Geary, New Brunswick. The Bryn Enterprises 35 is the first of four point paying stops at the 1/3-mile oval and third championship event of the 2021 season. The Atlantic Modified Tour is a part of a five division card that is anchored by a 100-lap RE/MAX East Coast Elite Realty Pro Stock race. The Saturday, June 26th racing card begins at 6:30pm.

The Sutherlands Excavating Limited 35 last weekend at Speedway Miramichi was won by Miramichi, New Brunswick’s Doug Matchett. After several Executive meetings, Series officials made the results official from the race on Wednesday. Braxton Stafford (Miramichi, NB) crossed the line as the winner but did not pass post race technical inspection. Yves McCray (Neguac, NB) was originally awarded second but upon further review of a last lap, turn two incident with Joe Hoyt (Waasis, NB), McCray was moved behind Hoyt in the official finishing order. Through all of it, Matchett would inherit the win with Chris Wilson (South Esk, NB) second, Hoyt third, McCray fourth and Steven Curtis (South Esk, NB) fifth in his first race of 2021. The full finishing order from the Sutherland Excavating Limited 35 at Speedway Miramichi is now posted on AtlanticModifieds.com.

After the Sutherland Excavating Limited 35 on June 20th, Travis Conroy (Miramichi, NB) remains on top of the point standings. The Petty International Raceway winner did not have the best of luck in Canada’s Irish Capital but a fourth place finish in the heat race helped keep him at the top of the championship chase through two of the 12 events. Matchett is only two points behind Conroy with McCray third, a single point behind Matchett. Zean Dutcher (Miramichi, NB) only finds himself ten championship points out of the lead with Hoyt ten points behind the “Flyin’ 55” in fifth.

With the first two races seeing six different faces on the podium, the Bryn Enterprises 35 at Speedway 660 could be the early season turning point for any of these Modified teams. McCray was the big winner at Speedway 660 last September during SpeedWeekend, though Wilson and Logan Power (Riverview, NB) also picked up Atlantic Modified Tour wins at the track in 2020. In fact, McCray is the only repeat feature winner for the Modifieds at Speedway 660 over the past five seasons, winning on SpeedWeekend Sunday in 2019 and 2020. Of those six different winners in seven races though, only McCray, Wilson and Hoyt will be lining up to compete Saturday. Hoyt scored a popular win at his home track in August 2019 and will be a threat for the win after his strong run in Miramichi last Sunday.
