(Halifax, NS – August 12, 2023) Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) returned to the track in style picking up a huge victory in the Summer Clash 250 presented by Superior Foundations and Atlantic Tiltload!

Nicholas Naugle (Dartmouth, NS) was a front runner from the drop of the green flag but Blenkhorn’s late lap pass left him in third. Russell Smith Jr (Lakeside, NS) had another solid finish coming home fourth. Current series point leader Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) took the Pole Challenge and started scratch on the field but rallied to finish fifth.
