(FREDERICTON, NB – September 8th, 2020) – Yves McCray (Neguac, NB) raced to his second SpeedWeekend Sunday win in as many years with his victory in the Krown Rust Control 35 at Speedway 660. McCray, who drove to victory lane in the Labour Day Classic in 2019, started seventh in the 35-lap feature and took what would be the eventual lead from Zean Dutcher (Miramichi, NB) just past the halfway point in the race. The final restart with eight laps to go would see McCray pull away from point leader Logan Power (Riverview, NB) to not only snap Power’s win streak but put McCray into victory lane for the first time in 2020. The win is McCray’s seventh in his Atlantic Modified Tour career.

Power’s car, who appeared to be suffering from an overheating problem late in the race, held on for the runner-up position. Dutcher raced to third with Braxton Stafford (Blackville, NB) and sophomore Travis Conroy (Miramichi, NB) completing the top five in the ten car field. Kevin Bailey (Minto, NB) was the heat race winner. Bailey and Friday night’s winner Chris Wilson (South Esk, NB) had a spirited battle in the Sunday race, resulting in seventh and eighth place finishes in the Krown Rust Control 35. The Krown Rust Control 35 saw three caution flags and took 23 minutes to complete.
