The Coors Light Truck division will take centre stage for Molson Night on Friday. This division is deep in talent and competition with a mix of new drivers and veterans attacking the track on a weekly basis. Dan Smith is vying for his third championship in as many seasons. Smith currently leads the championship point standing for the division but “the Legend” Cy Harvey (Elmsdale) is hot on his heels, just six markers behind. A trio of rookies; Matt Vaughan (Lake Fletcher), Corey Leonard (Goodwood) and Adam Carter (Lantz) round out the top five respectively.
