O’BRIEN WINS FOURTH OF THE SEASON

BROCKVILLE-Danny O’Brien came from 13th place in the starting grid to pick up his fourth checker flag of the season at Brockville Ontario Speedway. O’Brien had worked his way to the top three by the time a caution came out on lap 17. He trailed Bill Gill and Jason Riddell. Gill had been running strong up that point, his lead had stretched to a full straight away length before the caution grouped the field. O’Brien worked the middle groove to battle with Gill for the lead as the two went back and forth in top spot for four laps before O’Brien took over the lead for good on lap 26. “To have four feature wins (in Brockville) by the end June feels really good,” said an excited O’Brien as he accepted the winner’s plaque from the night’s sponsor, Superior Cellular and Sound. One of the pre-race favourites, Pat O’Brien broke early in the race and didn’t return. Kyle Dingwall also had problems in the fourth lap but his crew worked quickly to get him out before the green dropped. Gill hung on for second spot with Riddell claiming third. Brian “Slim” McDonald and Mike Adderly rounded out the top 5.

It was also lucky 13 for Matt Billings as he was the fastest in the Sportsmen class as he raced to victory in that group’s 25 lap feature. Billings (like O’Brien in the Modified feature) started 13th in the 25 car field. Dylan Evoy led the early part of the feature but problems handling the high banked in turns 3 and 4 caused him to drop back (he finished 5th). Billings worked his way up for gaining a handful of spots between three different cautions and grabbed the lead for good on lap 20. Dave Wilgosh, Randy Earl and Shane Pecore finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. Of note, Jessica Power was hit by three different cars prompting a red flag to stop the field on lap 6. The incident happened between turns 3 and 4. Power was helped out of her car by the St.John Ambulance crew and was brought to the pits in the ambulance as a precautionary measure.

Dominic Gauvreau bested Kevin Fetterly Jr for the checkered flag in the Street Stock main event. Steve Billings wasn’t too far off the pace as he was less than a couple car lengths back in third place.

Gerry O continued his excellent start to the 2009 season with another feature victory in the Rookie Stock feature. He sliced through the field to claim the victory ahead of Steve Barber (2nd) and Josh Kirkland (3rd).

The young guns of the DIRT, the Sportsman division will make their annual series appearance at the speedway.

Defending champion of both the Brockville tour stop and the Sportsman Super DIRT Series, Chris Raabe of Napanee leads the series heading into the busy week of action. However, two drivers with Brockville wins already this season are close behind in Brockville's new teenage sensation, Broadway Matt Billings and Sammy Reakes. Billings is just 24 points back in third with Reakes a strong fourth just two behind Broadway Matt with another Brockville regular, the popular Adam Turner in sixth spot in the overall DIRT standings. They'll be challenged by Brockville point leader, yet another teenager Shane Pecore who sits 2 points ahead of Billings on the home front.

The Super DIRT series event for the Sportsman presented by Brockville Motors will be a 40 lap affair on a super bill that also includes the 358 Modifieds, Street Stocks, Rookies and Vintage cars also in action beginning at 7pm. Just five days later on July 9th, the Super DIRT series will descend on the Beast of the East for the 4th Annual Advance Auto Parts event for Big Block Modifieds making it a busy week at the BOS. Brockville Ontario Speedway is located just north of Brockville just off Regional Road 29.

Clair took the lead on the following green on Planck and gets a good lead when Brian McDonald brought the caution on lap 15. Clair is still the leader with O’Brien now third, a good battle between Clair and Planck for the lead when Planck uses the outside lane to retake the lead when Clair goes too high and O’Brien is now on the backbumper of O’Brien with 20 laps in the book. Michel Chicoine has issues and brings caution on lap 22. O’Brien had a great jump from the inside lane and he is now the new leader with Boisvert using the same strategy to try and take second from Planck but he is able to resist has Hébert is now in the top 3 with 30 laps completed.

Hébert is still in front with O’Brien on his backbumper and Clair in third with 65 laps down, O’Brien is driving in the outside lane and tries to pass Hébert and finally does it when they get caught with slower cars on lap 71 in front of the grandstand and takes a good lead with 25 laps to go.
