Late Model, Street Stock, Mini Stock, Bandolero (Beginner, Bandit/Outlaw) WOW
- Racing returns to Petty International Raceway this Saturday night with a full card of racing action. Five unique divisions of stock car racing will take to the track on a night that will benefit the Salisbury Helping Hands Food Bank. The green flag will go in the air for the third event of the 2019 season at the River Glade, New Brunswick oval on Saturday, June 15th at 4pm. The A.E. McKay Builders Late Model Sportsman division has provided some thrilling racing in their first two events of the 2019 season. Marcel LeBlanc (Bouctouche, NB) scored his first career Late Model win back in May at the Season Opener, while Laurie Cormier (Riverview, NB) found himself in victory lane after the second round on June 1st. While consistency has put both Kenny MacKenzie Jr and Neal Crawford (both of Salisbury, NB) in the top three in the point standings after two weeks, only one driver has scored podium finishes in each of the two races. Justin Beers (Moncton, NB) raced to a third place finish on May 25th and did one better on June 1st with a second place run in the No. 3 D.R. Beers & Son Construction Chevrolet. It is early to start thinking about championship runs with a driver’s best seven races counting towards a point title in 2019, but Beers knows a strong start can propel his team a long way towards that big picture goal.
