HICKEN TAKES HOME THRILLING
ADVANCE RENTALS 150
(Oyster Bed Bridge, PE, August 4th, 2012) Jonathan Hicken (Brudenell) used home track advantage to take a
dominating victory in the Advance Rentals 150 at Oyster Bed Speedway on Saturday night. Hicken, in the #5 CASTLE
Building Centres Impala led 145 laps and battled with John Flemming (Halifax, NS) and Donald Chisholm (Antigonish,
NS) for most of the feature before the two had mechanical problems and fell out of the race. Finishing in second
was Enfield, Nova Scotia’s Shawn Turple with Kent Vincent (Crapaud) finishing in the third place. Jerome Kehoe
(Sydney, NS) brought his car home in fourth with Greg Proude (Springvale) completing the top five.
The afternoon’s festivities kicked off with the Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials event, which was paced by Flemming with
a qualifying lap of 13.421 seconds around the 1/4-mile oval. Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) took top honours in
the Fast Eddie Racewear Dash for Cash while Shawn Tucker (Fredericton, NB) and Chisholm picked up wins in the
Dartmouth Dodge Heat Races. Hicken also took away the King Freight Lines Halfway and Linde Most Laps Led
Awards by leading all but five laps. Exide Batteries Rookie of the Year leader Steve Halpin (Saint John, NB) took top
freshman honors in the Advance Rentals 150, while Kehoe claimed the Absolute Traffic Services Hard Charger Award
on the evening after picking up eight spots in the feature for the second consecutive race. Eight cautions slowed the
race, which took about two hours to complete.
