(Antigonish, NS – June 11, 2022) It was a tumultuous finish in the RJ Poirier Heavy Equipment 150 tonight at Riverside International Speedway. With four laps to go Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS), Greg Proude (Springvale, PE) and Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) were in the top three finishing spots when a caution came out on lap 147 and involved numerous leaders. On the restart Slaunwhite and Blenkhorn sat on the front row, the two tangled in turn-three which drew another caution as well as taking both drivers out of the race. Officials decided to call the race on lap 148.  With few cars left on the track Kyle Reid (Fort McMurray, AB) was declared the winner, followed by Matt Vaughan (Bedford, NS) and Nicholas Naugle (Dartmouth, NS). All results for this event are currently unofficial and under review by Tour Officials.  

Jarrett Butcher (Porter’s Lake, NS), Donald Chisholm (Antigonish, NS) and Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) won their Atlantic Tiltload heat races which set the field for the RJ Poirier Heavy Equipment 150. Mike Rodgers (Moncton, NB) won the Kenny U Pull Hard Charger and the Fleet Brake Atlantic Lucky Dog awards. Slaunwhite won the R&D Performance Centre Most Laps Led award.

The East Coast Mini Stock Tour and Maritime League of Legends kicked off racing action prior to the RJ Poirier Heavy Equipment 150. Matt Watson won the Mini Stock feature, followed by Kody Quinn and Andrew Warren. Danny Chisholm won the Maritime League of Legends feature after photo finish with Gage Gilby who ultimately finished second, Owen Mahar completed the top three.
