Results – Oyster Bed Speedway – Saturday August 24th.

Despite only a few points separating a few drivers in the Modified division at Oyster Bed Speedway, that storyline took a back seat to a few ‘Young Guns,’ grabbing checkered flags. In the opener, rookie driver Brandon Snow started on the front row beside Veteran Tim Gass. The two took the Green flag and began to battle each other for the lead. Snow was able to clear the veteran and wouldn’t look back as the entire race was run under a green flag securing his first heat win in the division.

In the semi, Jason MacCallum would also win his first race of the season.

In the feature another “Young Gun,” Dylan Lennentine was able to drive out into the early lead. In only his fourth season driving he was able to keep the entire field behind him in a race that was run completely without a caution. In that time Robbie MacEwen drove up into second but was unable to get by the sophomore driver. Lennentine scored his first career Feature win adding to his already two heat wins on the season.

In the points race in the division Randy Millar was able to hang onto the points lead adding with Kris Fournier trailing in second. Darrell Ford ran into some mechanical issues in the opening heat which set him back in the chase.

In the Street Stock Division Jamie Stewart was the big winner on the night. Stewart opened up with a second place heat finish and followed that up with a pair of wins including the feature. The feature race was hard fought between Stewart and his teammate Mark Maclean. The two raced hard beside each other for many laps until finally Stewart was too much for Maclean. Maclean settled for a second place finish behind Stewart for the second time that night.
