FEATURE 1 • 🏁 Merrittville Speedwa...
After fog ended racing action May 18th at Merrittville before features could be run, the Baron Roofing/Semenuk’s Esso Sportsman had a double feature night Saturday night. Contested while the sun was still up in the middle of heat racing from other classes, Daniel McKay and Tyler Pulchalski brought the field to green. McKay led early but was forced to retire from the race with a mechanical issue. After a caution on lap 14, the cream began to rise to the top of the leaderboard, with Cody McPherson finding the front. He led much of the second half of the feature, while being pursued by Brett Senek. McPherson did enough and was able to hold off any advances from Senek to score the first of the night. Curtis Friesen was third, with Billy Bleich Jr. and Noah Mamo completing the top 5.
FEATURE 2 • 🏁 Merrittville Speedwa...
McPherson had a much tougher drive through the field in the second feature on Saturday after starting back in 15th. Pole Sitter Mitch Dumont was driving away from the field, building up an over 3 second advantage until lap 12 when Billy Bleich Jr. and Doug Walsh Jr. tangled. Dumont tried to drive off from the field the same way he did in the first half of the feature. However, McPherson took advantage of the restart to move forward and eventually drive past Dumont, building up his own advantage in the process. McPherson completed the double and has opened the season with 3 straight wins now at Merrittville. Dumont hung on for second while Brett Senek, Adam Leslie and Taylor Vanderzanden rounded out the top five.
