RAIN SHORTENS SCHEDULE AT DELAWARE SPEEDWAY

Steve Book wins Transmission Direct Enduro Race

 

            Heavy rain and some thunderstorm activity put a temporary halt to the action at Delaware Speedway 5 laps into the Demar Aggregate Trucks feature race.  Devon Bloemendal , winner of the night’s first Truck heat, had been leading with Matt Korcina in second when the 25 lap feature was called because of the weather.

 

            After a 45-minute delay to allow the worst of the storm pass over the half-mile track, the Transmission Direct Enduro cars came off pit road for their 35 lapper. 

            Doug Capp was the early leader and several cars endured some slipping and sliding in the first few laps but were able to right themselves.  Steve Book took over the lead on lap 9 and held on to win the race despite a bumper-to-bumper threat from David McCullough, who had won the division’s second heat earlier in the night.  Piet Blaaubeor made several impressive runs to avoid ending third but that’s where he landed.

            On lap 19, Capp had an apparent mechanical problem and had to leave the track.

            The race’s only caution was called on lap 23 as Dave Goertz hit the wall in turn three and sustained some damage to the right front of his #15.

            The other Transmission Direct Enduro heat race was taken by Todd Head.

            The second Demar Aggregate Truck heat was won by Paul Fothergill.

            NASCAR Late Model Heats were won by Dion Verhoeven and Scott Lindsay.

            Tomorrow, race fans and drivers from all over this country and parts of the U.S. will be at Delaware Speedway for the opening race in the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series.  The action starts long before the big race.  The main gate opens at 1 pm so fans can watch some of the best racers in Canada run through their practice laps.  Super Stock time trials begin at 4:30 with the main Super Stock race at 6, NCATS time trials at 5:15 and the main race at 8 pm.

Lots of campers are taking advantage of Delaware Speedway’s campground this weekend and there’s a festival atmosphere at the track with plenty of displays on Saturday and of course, lots of great food provided by the concessions.
