BROCKVILLE-The string of good luck with the weather since early July, came to an end for Brockville Ontario Speedway. A full morning of rain has prompted track officials to cancel Saturday night's racing program. The rain out sets up a dramatic night of racing next Saturday, September 5th with some class titles very much up for grabs.
In the 358 Modified division, the showers mean that Kingston's Danny O Brien has clinched another Brockville track championship, his 9th overall and fourth in a row. The Sportsman division is anything but decided with four drivers having a shot at taking it all. Brockville's Matt Billings goes into the final week with a four point bulge over Randy Gaudet with Shane Pecore just 12 points back. Chris Herbison is in fourth overall but still within striking range just 35 back of Broadway Matt.
Steve Billings of Smiths Falls is on the verge of a second straight crown in the Street Stock division, a 54 marker advantage over Kevin Fetterly Jr, means starting the feature should be enough to hang onto the top spot. Steve Barber retook the lead in the Rookie class a week ago after Chris Bakker almost totaled his car in a late race accident. Bakker will have a chance to repair more of the damage with the rainout in hopes of making up the 4 point difference on Barber. Paul Billings enters the final week of McNamee Concrete Vintage action with just a 2 point edge on Jason Powers.
Next Saturday night's program is the kick off to the United Way Campaign in Leeds Grenville and presented by the Brockville Recorder and Times and GT Automotive. The green flag drops at 7pm.
