200 AT SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD
September
8, 2007 (Halifax, NS) - Mike MacKenzie of Dartmouth,
NS won the PARTS FOR TRUCKS 200 for the CARQUEST Pro
Stock Tour at Scotia Speedworld, near Halifax, NS on
Saturday night. MacKenzie took the lead on lap 123
enroute to his second victory of the season. John
Flemming of Halifax, NS and Wayne Smith of Timberlea,
NS were second and third. Lonnie Sommerville of
Saint John, NB and Shawn Tucker of Fredericton, NB
rounded out the top five.
Over 3000 fans saw eleven cautions slow the event.
It took just over 2 hours to complete the PARTS FOR
TRUCKS 200.
Chris Hughes of Winsloe, PEI, Flemming,
and George Koszkulics of Little Harbour, NS won heat
races. Donald Chisholm of Antigonish, NS won the
Dash for the Pole, featuring the top nine finishers
in the Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials. Shawn Turple
of Enfield had the fastest time on the 3/10 mile
oval, at an average speed of nearly 75 miles per
hour. Tucker took the PEI Potatoes Pole Challenge
and gained 15 valuable championship points by
returning to the top five.
The final transfer spots for the Main Feature were
determined by the Urquart-MacDonald and Associates
“B” Feature. Darren MacKinnon of Winsloe, PE won
the event. Stacey Clements of Five Island Lake, NS
and Tim Rodgers of Salisbury, NB rounded out the top
three.
Thirty three of the Maritimes top drivers entered
the event. Two drivers, Russell Smith of Timberlea,
NS and Dean MacInnis of Whycocomagh, NS both had
problems in practice and did not attempt to compete.
The 2007 CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour season
has come to a close. Due to an ongoing hearing in
the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and the fact that
the presiding Judge has reserved judgement until
September 11, we are not able to declare an official
2007 CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour Champion until at least
that time. Unofficially, Tucker leads the points
after Turple was involved in an early accident and
wasn’t a factor in the race.
The 2007 CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour PARTS FOR
TRUCKS Challenge Champion (combining the points of
the four PARTS FOR TRUCKS series races at four
different tracks) is Smith.
With nearly 4000 locations in North
America, CARQUEST Auto Parts supplies the
professional automotive service repair industry as
