Rain Cancels Ontario Legends Series Date at Grand Bend Speedway
Rain Cancels Ontario Legends Series Date at Grand Bend Speedway
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
Its becoming increasingly clear that Mother Nature isn't a race fan. She doesn't care about Matt Haufe's 2 trips to victory lane or the single event triumphs by Kevin Foisy and Alex McCollum. Saturday, June 23rd she stole another event from the Trailers Plus Ontario Legends Series, with the cancellation of its date at Grand Bend Speedway. Counting the rescheduled season opener at Sunset Speedway – that was originally planned to be a National Qualifier – the forecast has been in the way of 3 shows on this year's tour.
"All the teams work really hard to make sure their equipment is ready because they want to race. Its tough when an event gets delayed or cancelled because the conditions don't co-operate," said Andrew McFadden, who along with Jeff Drimmie and Kevin Foisy make-up the Ontario Legends team of officials. "We've had a great turn out for all of our events so far and have another date at Grand Bend just after Labour Day Weekend, so we'll just regroup and head on to the next show."
McFadden says that one of the most exciting parts of the Trailers Plus Ontario Legends Series for 2018 is the drivers who'll be running for the rookie of the year award. Whether they've come to the series from other racing divisions or looking at the tour for their first foray into the sport, the fresh faces showing-up for this year's races are providing a very strong accounting of themselves.
Names like Luke Atkins, Thomas Dunn, Adam D'Agostino, Hayden Brown, Shane Pollock and Tiffany Vanderbelt have turned-in some solid performances against some very tough competition. The entire Ontario Legends Series family is pleased to welcome the newcomers to the group and assist in their transition to this exciting brand of racing.
"Winning is an important part of what we do, but its just as important to make the new drivers comfortable on the track," McFadden added. "Wherever we race, our teams are ready, willing and able to share their knowledge and experience, while answering any questions to help other teams get the most from their equipment."
Trailers Plus Ontario Legends Series notebook: Next on the schedule for the tour will be a Saturday, July 7th visit to Sauble Speedway. All racing roads lead to Central Ontario for the inaugural Canadian Legends Asphalt Nationals – Friday and Saturday, July 13th and 14th – at Kawartha Downs & Speedway and Peterborough Speedway.
