Planck makes it two in a row at Brockville
BROCKVILLE-Dale Planck of Homer, NY became the first three time 358 Modified winner this season with his second straight victory on Friday night at Brockville Ontario Speedway.
Planck started 20th in a strong field of 23 modifieds and worked his way through the pack. He took the lead on lap 24 just before the final caution came out with a pass on the outside of turns 3 and 4 to get around teenage sensation Frank Caprara of Watertown, NY. Planck was then flawless on the final restart to take the victory in front of Caprara, Brockville’s Stephane LaFrance, Chris Jones of Demorestville and Jeff Sykes of Edwards, NY.
It like 15 year old Kyle Wilson of Joyceville would capture his first Sportsman feature. Wilson led the first 15 laps of the 20 lap event. However, the youngster couldn’t hold off defending track champion Randy Gaudet of North Augusta. Gaudet after numerous tries down on the inside, went around Wilson on the outside of turn 3 with 5 laps remaining and cruised to victory from there. Wilson was second with Lance Willix of Theresa, NY rounding out the top 3.
Renfrew’s Todd Fletcher took over the top spot on lap 3 and dominated the rest of the way for his second Pro Stock win of 2000. Fletcher was a full straightaway ahead of Mark Therrien of Alexandria and Brockville’s Randy Earl at the checkered flag.
Terry McCullough of Kingston took over the Novice points lead with an 10 lap victory edging former points leader Todd Raabe of Pembroke at the finish line. John Mulder of Spencerville had his best run of the year finishing third.
The BOS will return to action on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. with the 200 lap enduro which was rained out on Father’s Day. There will be a regular show with action in all four divisions next Friday night at 7:30.
