Vincent Takes Thrilling Victory at CARQUEST 100
(Moncton, NB. August 27, 2011) – Kent Vincent (Crapaud, PE), in the #8 Vector Aerospace Dodge Charger took the
checkered flag on Saturday night to capture the CARQUEST 100 at Petty International Raceway. The win was the
first for Vincent on the season, who passed Wayne Smith (Timberlea, NS) to take the lead for the final time on lap
90. Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) held off a hard charging Donald Chisholm (Antigonish, NS) for the second place spot
with former champion John Flemming (Halifax, NS) and Marty Prevost (Fall River, NS) coming home in fourth and
fifth respectively.
A full crowd packed the grandstands of Petty International Raceway to take in the CARQUEST 100, which saw eight
caution periods and took just over one hour to complete. The Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials set the tone for the
evenings festivities and it was Shawn Turple (Enfield) pacing the field with a blistering time of 13.707 seconds
around the 1/4-mile, high banked oval. Smith piloted his #44 Jetco Contracting Impala to the win in the Fast Eddie
Racewear Dash for Cash. Dartmouth Dodge Heat Races set the balance of the field for the CARQUEST 100 and they
were won by Prevost and Brad Mann (Glen Livet). Smith also brought home the King Freight Lines Halfway and
Linde Most Laps Led Awards while Jerome Kehoe (Sydney, NS) picked up the most positions in the feature and will
be awarded with the Vortex Brakes Hard Charger Award.
Smith entered the evening with a one point lead but will leave Petty International Raceway unofficially with a 13
point advantage over Shawn Tucker (Fredericton) who finished 11th, one position behind Smith. Darren
MacKinnon (Charlottetown, PE) had rear end issues with his #18 Shaw’s Towing Chevrolet, which will drop the
Island driver to fifth in points, behind Flemming and Vincent. The top five will unofficially be separated by 32
points heading into the Dartmouth Dodge 200.
