Fahey makes history at Speedway 660
Greg Fahey did something on Saturday night that no other driver has ever done in the history of Speedway 660. Fahey won the 2013 Martins Home Heating Sportsman division title and became the first driver to win titles in all three of Speedway 660’s top divisions.
Fahey who owns three pro stock and two street stock championship trophies won his first sportsman title and sixth overall. The Charlotte County native captured his latest championship by winning his heat and dash and finishing second in the feature on Fan Appreciation Night of Champions.
“My name will be on the trophy but there are about fifty other people who deserve to get a trophy too, with-out my family, sponsors and this awesome crew I would never have been able to have gotten into this sport let alone win six championships” said Fahey. “The competition is tough here at Speedway 660 and I want to thank all of the drivers in the Martins Home Heating Sportsman Division for running clean all season long and now we’ve got to go home and get ready for SpeedWeekend.”
Greg Fahey celebrates a sixth Speedway 660 championship with his race team on Saturday.

Dave O’Blenis won the RE/MAX Group Four Realty Pro Stock feature on Saturday to earn a second straight and fourth championship in Speedway 660’s top division. Glyn Nott who won the heat and dash finished second in the feature to earn the pro stock rookie of the year award. Brian Gillespie was third in the feature, while Ken MacKenzie won the other heat race.
“It’s an honour to win a fourth pro stock title here at Speedway 660 because that puts us right up there with the great Glen Rassmussen who also won four titles here” said O’Blenis. “I’m really happy with the way this car is working right now and excited about coming back next weekend and having a strong run in the Auto Value 250.”
Dave O’Blenis won his second RE/MAX Group Four Realty Pro Stock championship in a row and fourth over-all on Saturday night. O’Blenis won the feature to seal the championship and now sets his sites on the Auto Value 250 on SpeedWeekend.
Roger Slocum capped off a great season by winning the DMR Auto Sales & Service Street Stock championship. Slocum outdrove five time champion Rick Cashol and Rob Raynes to win the title. Kevin McKeen won his heat race, the dash and feature on Saturday night. TJ “Hollywood” Madore finished second in the feature, while Benji Ruff took third. Justin Cole won the other street stock heat race. Luc MacLaughlin won the street stock rookie of the year.
“I haven’t slept in two weeks and spent many restless nights worrying about this championship battle, but tonight I am proud of my great race team, my family and sponsors” said Slocum. “We’ll be back to take a shot at the big street stock race on SpeedWeekend and will definitely be back here next year to try to defend this championship.”
Roger Slocum celebrates the DMR Auto Sales & Service Street Stock championship with his family. Roger had to drive the race of his life to win the title over five time champ Rick Cashol.
Tyler Seveck won the Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooter division championship for the second time. It was our tightest points race and Tyler finished just two ahead of Jeremy Doran and three points ahead of Daniel Clark. On Fan Appreciation Night of Champions we got it wrong. We declared Daniel the champ, but after the fact realized we made a mistake when calculating the points from a feature race earlier in the season. When the points were recalculated it was determined that Tyler won the title. Ira Farnell won the Fan Appreciation Day of Champion Sharp Shooter feature, while Jeremy Doran came second and Darren Beatty third. Farnell also won his heat race, while Brad Palmer took the other heat. Malcolm Suley won the Sharp Shooter rookie of the year.
Tyler Seveck becomes the first driver to win two Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooter championships. The division was tight all season long and Daniel Clark was unofficially declared the champion on Fan Appreciation Night of Champions. Upon further review, a scoring error was discovered from a race earlier in the season and when it was corrected Tyler was the official champ. Congrats Tyler and our deepest apologies go out to Daniel and his team for our mistake.
Drew Greenlaw capped off a great season with the feature victory and championship in the West Wood Estate Apartments Bandolero division. Courtney O’Blenis won the heat race and finished second in the feature, while Ashton Tucker drove to a third place feature finish. Tucker was also the 2013 Bando rookie of the year.
Drew Greenlaw and his family celebrate the West Wood estate Apartments Bandolero championship. Drew made sure he was going to take the championship trophy back home to Eastport, Maine by winning the feature on Saturday night. Drew said he want to move up to Speedway 660’s Sportsman division next year.
