In many instances, the Bone Stock division is seen as a proving ground for young racers looking to build their skills. Her 2025 performance in Peterborough Speedway's field – presented by Battlefield Equipment Rental – has shown fans that Victoria McLenon doesn't have a lot to prove.
Her recent qualifying heat win and a career best 3rd place main event finish have helped the 24-year-old racer from Oshawa, Ontario find her way into 4th spot in the point standings of a group where more than 30 different racers have scored results in this year's action. The driver of the No. 89 machine is only about 2 dozen markers out of the division's overall lead.
"Fans, friends and family members have provided a ton of support and encouragement since the start of the season," said Victoria McLenon. "Everyone associated with the team has made me excited about coming to the track. We're doing well and having fun. That makes the effort we've been putting into the car worthwhile and gives up something to shoot for at every event."

Victoria McLenon says she is happy to have ongoing sponsorship partners including Comic Alley Toys, Babin's Automotive, KOD Disposal, Matco Tools – David Burns, Caught Anytime Studios, Strawnco77 and Clarke Motorsports Communications as part of the team again this year. The team is also thankful for the help at the track from John, Christen and Brad Lavalle. Ryan Babin, Zachary Cheng and Crew Chief Shawn Solomon pitch-in to make sure the car is ready roll for every race.
In Peterborough Speedway's most recent race program, McLenon logged another top 10 finish in a starting line-up that saw at least 23 Bone Stock teams take the green flag in the night's 20 lap main event.
"I like to have fun during our weekends at the track," said Victoria McLenon, who as a Customer Service Rep and Collectible Card Game Specialist at Comic Alley Toys. "With so many fast drivers in the division, I've had a great year and logged some solid laps week after week. Whenever you can park the racecar following the checkered flag after finishing a few spots ahead of where you started, it has been a good night. The team and I are hoping to keep the ball rolling."
Victoria McLenon and Peterborough Speedway's Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stocks will be back in action Saturday, July 26th in a raceday line-up that also includes the home track Jiffy Lube Super Stocks, along with the OSCAAR Modifieds and Hot Rods, plus the Outlaw Midgets. King of the Hill will be the night's intermission feature. Gates will open at 5:00, with racing at 6:00.

Chad Strawn Takes his Initial GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod Win

Chad Strawn Takes his Initial GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod Win
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
Teams with the GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMods came to the green flag with a simple goal. To be the next main event winner in the group's inaugural season. Front row starters Ethan Thompson and Rick Warnes set out to take the checkered flag in the Saturday, July 19th main event at the venue known for Making Memories for Life.
Thompson – who began his local racing career in Peterborough's Renegade Truck field – led the event's early laps until a yellow flag for a frontstretch spin slowed the pace. Thompson was ruled to have left early on the restart, forcing to swap positions with Warnes who was running 3rd at the time of the caution.

On the restart, Chad Strawn used the outside groove to take the race lead and held the spot – by the margin of a about a straightaway – for the balance of the race distance and scored his first main event win under the new SportsMod banner. Thompson rebounded to take 2nd, with Warnes, Glenn Morris and Craig Stevenson completing the top 5.
Peterborough Speedway GEN-3 Electric OMRS race notes: Chad Strawn and his father in-law Glenn Morris shared the night's preliminary round wins…After suffering mechanical issues during the pre-race practice sessions, John Baker Jr. and group newcomer Garrett Yake watched the action from the sidelines…Craig Stevenson – who turned his first career racing laps in 1981 – made his first start since 2018 in a substitute role for his son Brad.
Next on the GEN-3 Electric OMRS SportsMod schedule will be Saturday, August 2nd at Flamboro Speedway. The 2025 running of the Bill Pickford Memorial is Saturday, August 16th at Peterborough Speedway.

Parker Traves Steals Peterborough Speedway Ontario Legends Victory

Parker Traves Steals Peterborough Speedway Ontario Legends Victory
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
A potent field of 23 Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series teams came to the line for a 25-lap headliner – Saturday, July 19th – at Peterborough Speedway. Adam Cuthbertson and Mitch Wright held the front row starting spots as pack took the green flag in the main event presented by Sidetracked in Muskoka and Firehouse 343.
Cuthbertson was strong early, taking the lead from the drop of the initial green flag. The driver of the No. 79 car – who had announced his retirement from the sport last fall – had the hottest runner on the circuit on his tail, as Dawson Drimmie charged into the runner-up spot and then took the race lead a couple of laps after an early race yellow flag. Reigning series champion Mitch Wright, Cuthbertson, Parker Traves and Cole McFadden joined Drimmie for a lock on the top 5 positions when the field encountered a string of cautions with yellows slowing the pace with 7, 13, 16 and 19 laps on the scoreboard.
A late race charge saw everyone fighting for position as Drimmie looked to be on his way to another checkered flag. Parker Traves got close to the race leader and started looking for a way around the driver of the No. 66 machine. Lap after lap he'd get close to Drimmie and as the field took the white flag, a hole opened up on the backstretch. That was all the room Traves would need, as his No. 08 ride stole the main event win. Drimmie, Adam Cuthbertson, Cole McFadden and rookie of the year point leader Jake Spencer-Walt completed the top 5.
Gibson Baker, Keaton Pipe, Wes Cuthbertson, Andrew McFadden, Hailey McNicol, Caleb Drimmie, Joe Sherman, Paul Pierik. Nathan Killins, John Milwain, Rob Eggleton, Matt Thompson, Mitch Wright, Mackenzie Milwain, Robbie Sikes, Nick Portt, Nathan Huffman and Joshua Milwain rounded out the finishing order.
All finishing positions are unofficial and subject to scoring review and post race inspection.
Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Peterborough Speedway notes: Mitch Wright, Dawson Drimmie, Adam Cuthbertson and Jake Spencer-Walt had the qualifying event wins.
Next on the schedule will be a pair of combined dates with the Great Lakes Legends Series – Saturday and Sunday, August 2nd and 3rd – at Sauble Speedway. The group returns to Peterborough Speedway Saturday, August 9th.
