Clark Captures Victory at Nova Truck Cetnres Make A Wish 150
(Halifax, NS, June 18, 2016) Cassius Clark (Farmington, ME) started at the rear of the field in the Nova Truck Centres Make a Wish 150 at Scotia Speedworld on Saturday evening. Clark took the lead from Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) on lap 123 and held on for his second feature win in three races on the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour in 2016. Turple held on to second while Russell Smith Jr. (Lakeside, NS) charged hard for third place after substituting in for Daryl Mahar (Hubley, NS) in the #66 car. Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) and Greg Proude (Springvale, PE) completed the top five in the feature event.
Atlantic Tiltload Qualifying started off the day’s racing action. Slaunwhite, Terry Dougay (Albany, PE) and Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) each took home heat race wins in the 23 car field. Smith Jr. was the recipient of the King Freight Lines Future Winner Award. Turple took the Linde Most Laps Led Award after leading 104 laps of the Nova Truck Centres Make a Wish 150. Harry Ross White (Noel Road) was the top freshman in 12th place to capture the Exide Batteries Rookie of the Race Award. Five cautions slowed the race which took one hour, eleven minutes to complete.
Fans were treated to two of Scotia Speedworld’s Weekly Racing Series divisions prior to the Nova Truck Centres Make A Wish 150. Jorden Smith (Lakeside, NS) won the 25 lap Toursec Lightning feature and Jason Fenton (Eastern Passage, NS) won the Coors Light Trucks 25 lap feature.
Cassius Clark will maintain the point lead on the Series as the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will make its first appearance of the season in New Brunswick next Saturday at Petty International Raceway. Tickets for the 100 lap feature will be available at the gate on race day. Visit www.maritimeprostocktour.com for complete event details and coverage.
