Lucas Oil Teams Up To Bring a Night of Entertainment Lucas Oil teamed up to bring a great night of entertainment and excitement to Peterborough Speedway on June 16th. The Four Funs, Peterborough Hyundai MiniStocks, the Late Models, and the TQ Midgets all took part in the racing excitement. While Keith Graham was the lucky father on Saturday who took home a Peterborough Speedway Father’s Day prize package which included a tool-belt, complete with tools courtesy of JobMate, as well as the first ever copy in Canada of the Tailgater’s Guide to Racing, which will be available to everyone in the coming weeks at Chapters. The book include tailgate recipes, information about camping and cooking gear, as well as tailgater guides to almost 300 tracks in North America. In the Four Fun divison, Wyatt Harvey and Bernie Vanderzwet traded wins in the qualifying heats, and Vanderzwet took the feature for the second straight week and third time this season. Donna Anderson and her double-zero car had to settle for third in both qualifiers and the feature, while Speedway rookie Ayrran Hart took the night off while waiting for his car to be rebuilt after a scary crash a few weeks ago. The Peterborough Hyundai MiniStocks provided fans with a ton of excitement, as four different drivers won the four qualifying heats. Robert Kerr finished second in his first heat, but took the checkered flag in the second, as well as the feature, increasing his lead in the points race. Jack Hannah won his first heat, but after a couple of passing penalties, Hannah settled for fourth in the feature. Riley Ekins and Dan Demers finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. The Peterborough Speedway Late Models ran a 30-lap feature, and for Stompin’ Tom Walters, it was a good thing they did. Walters’ car #47 won both qualifying heats and seemed unstoppable until the feature, when Dave Waite’s car #25 seemed on the verge of a flag-to-flag victory; however, a late caution brought Walters back into the mix and he patiently waited until he had the opportunity to pass Waite who finished second, ahead of Dwayne Fulford who rounded out the top three. The final event of the evening went to the TQ Midgets, who ran a 25 lap feature for the finale. The Midgets surpass the Legends in speed, and rival the Late Models for power, so the fans at Peterborough Speedway were in for a treat. After a pre-race show that saw driver introductions, and a Lucas Oil call to ‘Start your Engines’, followed by a couple of laps around the track in which the Midgets looked more like a synchronized swimming team than anything else, the racing began. The Yellow #3 car of Todd Cresswell started in the middle of the 20+ car pack, and Cresswell patiently passed the cars in front of him until a caution flag on lap 21 saw him in third spot with only four laps to go. Through a series of twists, turns, and professional passing maneuvers, Cresswell made his way to the start of the pack, leaving Randy May and Lucas Smith to finish second and third respectively. All four car series left fans hanging until the checkered flag dropped! Also, the Peterborough Speedway Kids club was in full swing, with children having to nominate their fathers and guardians for Father of the Year. Also, the folks at Lucas Oil and Pepsi provided dozens of clothing and race gear giveaways for fathers, while Pete Dalliday and Jordan Burnie orchestrated a Father’s Day Chicken Dance at intermission. Racing resumes at Peterborough Speedway on Saturday, June 23rd. The Four Funs, MiniStocks, Hurricane Midgets, and Late Models will all hit the track. Pit Gates open at 4:00pm, spectator gates at 6:00pm, and the racing gets under way at 7:00pm.
