(Oyster Bed Bridge, PE, July 7, 2019) – Jonathan Hicken (Brudenell, PE) picked up his first victory of the season and tenth career win at his home track in front of a capacity crowd this afternoon.

Craig Slaunwhite (Terence, Bay, NS) had another solid run with a third place finish. Robbie MacEwen (Charlottetown, PE) and current Series point leader Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) came home fourth and fifth respectively.
Gosbee, Darren MacKinnon (Charlottetown, PE) and Greg Proude (Springvale, PE) won Atlantic Tiltload Heat Races which set the field for the Canada Day 150. Troy Burke (Sherwood, PE) goes home with the Exide Batteries Rookie of the Race. MacEwen picked up the Kenny U-Pull Hard Charger award while Hicken pockets the Most Laps Led award.
Three opening classes took to the track prior to the Canada Day 150. Matt Watson (Miscouche, PE) won the Outlaw 50. Craig MacDonald (Waverly, NS) took the victory for the Maritime League of Legends Island ICF 50 while Danny Chisholm (Canning, NS) came home first in the Bandolero class.
