CAN-AM SPEEDWAY WINS TO DUNN, KELLY, KIRBY AND PETRIE ON RAY’S SERVICE CENTER NIGHT

July 31, 2019 Chris Thurston

It was another beautiful night for racing at the Can-Am Speedway

and fans were treated some great dirt track racing in al four weekly

divisions. The Whitesboro Plow Shop-DIRTcar 358 Modifieds were lead

to the line by Jordan McCreadie and Tyler Meeks with McCreadie

grabbing the lead on lap one, over Meeks and Ryan Bartlett. Bartlett

moved into the second spot and on lap 4 wrestled the lead away from

McCreadie bringing Billy Dunn with him. Bartlett was having a solid

run but point leader Dunn was shown as the leader on lap 6. Last

weeks winner, Ryan Arbuthnot would move up to the second spot on lap 7

and try to chase down Dunn. Dunn was on rails at the front and would

grab another feature win over Arbuthnot, Jeff Sykes, McCreadie and

Bartlett.

A strong field of (29) FX Caprara Honda-DIRTcar Sportsman were

ready for starter Mike LaClair’s green flag with Gavin Eisele and

Jordan Kelly pacing the group. Kelly was shown as the leader of lap

one and looked very strong early pulling away to a comfortable lead.

while Eisele, Eric Nier, Jessica Power and Dalton Rombough fought for

the top 5 positions. A number of early cautions kept the field

together but Kelly prevailed on every restart. At the halfway mark

they were all chasing young Jordan Kelly. With 5 laps to go Power,

Jackson Gill and Brian Hudson had joined Kelly and Nier in the top 5.

Power’s strong run came to an end on lap 17 bringing out the final

caution and Kelly again pulled away over the last 3 laps to pick up

the win over Gill, Nier, Hudson and Josh Reome.

The FABCO-Pro Streets were brought to the green by Will and Ryan

Gates but it was Shawn Kirby showing as the leader on lap one. Ken

Hartshorn and last weeks winner Steven Gilmore chased Kirby over the

first 6 laps until Rick Dusckas made his way to the top 3 behind Kirby

and Gilmore. Kirby was to strong on this night though and picked up

the win over Dusckas, Gilmore, Hartshorn and Tyler Bushey.

Chuck Monica and Zak Petrie set the pace for the TLC Real

Estate/Agent Marsha Gibbons-Thunder Stocks 15 lap feature. Petrie

charged to the front over Monica and Jock Symonds and at the halfway

mark the same 3 continued to fight for the lead with Phil Desormeau

III and OJ White taking chase. Petrie would go on for another win

over Monica, Symonds, Desormeau III and Ray Graffam.
