Gray Takes
Win, Neely becomes "Boss
of the Beach"
A Feature winner :
James Gray
James Gray took the win Sunday night as the Lucas Oil Can-Am
Midgets ran only one race of their scheduled double-header weekend at Sauble
Speedway (Ont). Rain cancelled Saturday nights race and that set up a shoot
out for the final points in the Home Hardware Series for the Lucas Oil
Can-Am Midgets. Rob Neely was crowned 'Boss of The Beach' after
finishing in second place Sunday night in the final race of this 7 race
series. Gray, 2009 'Boss of The Beach' winner shook hands with Neely after
the race and passed on the surfboard award to him. Ken Smith of Smith and
Hladil Home Hardware was on hand for the driver introductions before the
race and photos with the winners after the 25 lap feature was run.
Todd Cresswell, starting on the point, took the lead on lap
one with Tom Kyle and Craig Mackereth fighting for second. Darren McLennan
was 4th and Daniel Bois rounded the top five. Mackereth began to fade and a
hard charging Chris Holman grabbed 5th place. Kyle was passed by both
McLennan and Bois and Bois motored up to second place as Cresswell opened up
a good lead on the field. Holman was fourth and Kyle hung on to fifth place.
Corey Moesker, returning to the track after a hard crash two weeks ago at
Grand Bend was very strong in the 6th spot. Gray, moving through the field
from his 12th starting spot, was now 7th.
With 10 laps in Cresswell was out in front as Bois and
McLennan ran side by side. Holman was now 4th and Gray was in the top five.
Neely passed Moesker and set his sites on Gray. The red flag came out one
lap later as Bois made contact with the wall coming out of turn four, broke
a rear axle, pirouetted on the fence, taking him out of the race.
At the restart Cresswell again took command and McLennan
tried to fight off Gray to no avail. Gray took over second place with Holman
fourth and Neely fifth. Charging through the field, winner of his first race
last week, Barry Dunn was on Neely's tail. Neely dove under Holman for the
spot as Gray closed up on Cresswell. Lap 16 had Gray take the lead with
Cresswell staying close behind. Two laps later a caution was thrown as
McLennan and Holman made contact and McLennan spun putting them both to the
back for the restart.
Gray pulled away at the restart as Neely set his sites on
Cresswell passing him one lap later. Dunn, now in fourth, held off the
challenges of Smulders. The checkered flag flew for Gray followed by Neely,
Cresswell, Dunn and Smulders. Heats were won by Cresswell and Neely.
Heat 1: Todd Cresswell
Heat 2: Rob Neely
Rookie Justin Fraser, driving the #97 TQ owned by Yvonne
Neely finished in twelfth spot in his first time ever in a midget.
