Short track racing is all about making a point and with a pair of main events on the Saturday, July 27^th line-up at Peterborough Speedway, teams with the www.trailersplus.net Ontario Legends Series were looking to score as many points as possible toward the 2019 tour championship.

 

After time trials were used to set the starting fields, Andre Fiorini and Nicholas Ledson brought the pack to the green flag for the opening 25 lapper. Ledson jumped out to the lead with just a couple of laps on the scoreboard, as Kevin Foisy slipped into the runner-up position. A yellow flag – for a front stretch incident – with a 5^th of the race distance complete slowed the pace and brought everyone back in-touch with the leaders.

 

Ledson, Fiorini and Foisy enjoyed a 3-car breakaway on the restart, with Fiorini briefly taking the lead away from Ledson, who grabbed it back a lap later. Lapped traffic came into play with about 8 laps remaining, but no one could catch Ledson. Foisy, Fiorini, Parker Traves and Kenny McNicol Jr. completed the top 5. Adam Cuthbertson, Dave Riopelle, Mark Griffin, Dawson Drimmie, Cory Richardson, Jeff Forsey, Thomas Dunn, Zach Latimer, Rick Eades, Joe Sherman, Don Arnott, Glenn Morris, Cody Newell, Cole McFadden and Howard Bentley rounded-out the finishing order.

 

Kenny McNicol Jr. and Kevin Foisy paced the field to the line for the night’s 2^nd feature. McNicol Jr. was the early leader but surrendered the spot to Ledson with a handful of laps complete and Foisy on his back bumper.

 

The field caught the tail-end of the pack with 11 laps on the scoreboard, but a lap 17 yellow flag for a single car crash closed the racing ranks. Try as they might, no one could keep Ledson from sweeping the night’s Legends Series main events. Foisy, Fiorini, Parker Traves and Dawson Drimmie chased the leader across the stripe. Adam Cuthbertson, McNicol Jr., Mark Griffin, Cory Richardson, Jeff Forsey, Rick Eades, Thomas Dunn, Joe Sherman, Glenn Morris, Howard Bentley, Don Arnott, Cole McFadden, Cody Newell, Dave Riopelle and Zach Latimer claimed the rest of the finishing positions.
