Robblee and McGlynn Win Features in Peterborough Dave Connelly RaceSportz The Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series presented by Benson Auto Parts were in action Saturday night at Peterborough Speedway for round two of their championship season. The night started with qualifying and Shawn McGlynn was able to put the fastest time on the board during qualifying, with Steve Robblee second, the only other driver to crack the 15 second barrier at Canada’s Fastest 1/3-mile track. The inversion put Mike Alguire on the pole for the first 50-lap main event, and Alguire took advantage of the starting position, blasting out into the lead with series rookie Dan Prudhomme tucking into line in second. The pair would run nose to tail until well after halfway when Robblee made his appearance at the front following his run from a ninth-place starting position. As the laps wore down, Robblee was able to get by Prudhomme for second and started to put the head on Alguire. Mike tried to hold him off, but a little slip was enough to open the door for Robblee who walked right through and won his second 50-lapper of the season in three starts. Robblee spoke about the pass for the win in victory lane, “Mike just slipped up a bit and that was all I needed. Our car still isn’t perfect, and we’re going to make some changes for the next 50 lapper and see if we can’t tighten it up a bit.” Alguire finished second, with Prudhomme holding on for third. Dave Connelly and Brennan Didero rounded out the top-five. Matt Robblee overcame a huge crash in practice when his throttle stuck, as the crew fixed the car and Matt drove the ‘modified looking machine’ to a sixth-place finish. With the lead lap cars inverted for the second 50-lapper Cole Weber and Tim Tolten led the field to the green flag for the second 50-lapper with Weber grabbing the early lead. He would hold on until lap eight when Tolton took command. Tolton, making his first start in the series would fight to hold off McGlynn, who took the lead briefly during a restart, and then later held off Matt Robblee, before a restart with 10 laps to go and Steve Robblee on his outside. Robblee tried to clear Tolton, but the rookie Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup driver would hold serve briefly before Robblee then tried the low side and moved into the lead on lap 43. Tolton was fighting to hold onto second when disaster struck as he hand grenaded a motor heading into turn three. He spun and slapped the wall, while a number of other cars got in the same oil and then found themselves in the concrete, including Mark Patrick, who got his Chevy right up on the wall. The race restarted with Robblee and Prudhomme on the front row and McGlynn in third. Prudhomme got the jump on Robblee and took the lead, but Steve was still on the hunt. On the final lap, he made contact with Prudhomme, let him get straight and then continued his assault as they entered turn three. McGlynn had gotten a run on both of them on the outside and got into the rear of Prudhomme entering turn three. Robblee dove low under Dan, who was trying to keep his #96 straight while McGlynn zipped to the high line. McGlynn would pull off the pass, while Robblee was able to get by on the bottom, with McGlynn winning the race back to the stripe, and Robblee coming home second, while Prudhomme finished third. McGlynn spoke about his rally to victory, “We were burning up a rear end all night and had to fight that, and the car wasn’t perfect, but I just got a run on those two guys and was able to make the pass on the high side. It was one wild finish, and I sure hope the fans enjoyed that.” Prudhomme was upset about victory slipping through his grasp so close to the end of the event, “I got a great restart and got Steve, and was just trying to keep him behind me. I was running my line, and I don’t think it should have ended like that. The easiest thing to do is dump somebody.” Pole sitter Weber was able to finish fourth, while Dave Connelly overcame a flat tire on the red flag for the Tolton blown motor to come back and finish fifth
