Stick and ball sports have spoken of a home field advantage for generations. Saturday, June 1st, Dawson Drimmie proved the adage also applies to racing with the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series as the hometown favourite swept a pair of feature events at Peterborough Speedway.
With starting line-ups decided by timed laps in the pre-race practice sessions, the opening round – presented by Sobey's Gravenhurst – came to the stripe with Cole McFadden and Mitch Wright on the front row. McFadden was the early race leader but surrendered the position to Wright as the duo started to work through slower traffic.
Wright continued to lead after a lap 6 restart and front runners held an advantage of almost a straightaway before the pace was slowed again for an incident on the backstretch with just over a handful of laps remaining. The No. 66 of Drimmie used the caution flag to plan his attack and took a lead he wouldn't surrender with 20 laps on the scoreboard.

Wright, McFadden, Adam Cuthbertson and Jordan Latimer completed the top 5.
Jordan Latimer and Adam Cuthbertson brought the pack to the green flag in the second 25-lapper, presented by Firehouse 343. Latimer was in control of the field, with McFadden, Wright and Drimmie in his rear-view mirror. A 3-car fight for the lead brought-out a lap 9 caution for an incident in the 3rd turn that also ended the night for the No. 90 of Latimer.
Dawson Drimmie took the lead on the restart and had Matt Haufe, Cuthbertson, Wright and Mark Griffin close behind. Drimmie's piece was strong and fast over the closing stages as he added another Peterborough Speedway win to his personal record books.
Adam Cuthbertson, Haufe, Wright and Wes Cuthbertson were next across the line.
