      Posted by Tom Ames  |  05/21/07

Rob Anthes was on a mission last night at The New Humberstone Speedway last night, on Best Western Cairn Croft night. Anthes, who took the lead from the 69 of Steve Brooker on lap 6, had no real threat for the rest of the 15 lap race to capture his first ever Niagara Sales Truck feature win. .With the 13 out in lead and K51 comfortably in 2nd. The battle for the 3rd spot was between last weeks feature winner Don Lessard and Kevin Aube, with Lessard eventually taking the spot. Top 5 were Rob Anthes, Ed McNamara, Don Lessard, Kevin Aube and Steve Brooker. (Heat winner was Kevin Aube)



In the Kendall Oil Ministock division it was James Small who captured the checkered flag. Small, in the 10S, lead from lap 5 with Abel Castlelein chasing him down for the entire 15 laps.

Top 5 were James Small, Abel Castlelein, Rob Goulding and Aaron Wiley, Charlie Lynch. (Heat winners were Charlie Lynch and Abel Castlelein)



The Brians Tire Repair Streetstock Division is quickly becoming one of the best races of the Sunday night lineup. With clean racing side by side, little cautions and photo finishes this week was no different. Cody McPherson started out as an early leader with the 117 of Rick Beales and the M1 of Brad Sheehan chasing him down. Beales seen his opportunity on lap 8 and took it sending the 777 back to 2nd. But the M1 looked like he was stalking his nights dinner, just waiting until one weakness to make his move, and quickly making a move in lap 15, having Beales to fight for the number 1 spot. At the finish line it was an exciting photo finish, as they came across the one almost together. But Beales coming out as the winner, marking his first win of the 2007 season. Top 5 were Rick Beales, Brad Sheehan, Cody McPherson, Bill Hogue and Shayne Pierce. (Heat winners were Cody McPherson and Rick Beales)



In the Cosco Haulage Sportsman division it was the young Tyler McPherson who captured the checker flag. Rookie Rick Bellante lead for the first 10 laps, until Tyler could make his move sending the 62 to 2nd, and having to battle veteran Greg Panunte. Panunte would eventually pass the 62 sending the 62 to battle with teammate the 13 of Dennis Giancola for the 3rd place spot. A spot Bellante would take sending 13 to 4th . Due to a post tech inspection Bellante was DQ’d moving everyone up one. Top 5 were Tyler McPherson, Greg Panunte, Dennis Giancola, Jeff Leggett and Darren Zumpe. (Heat winners were Travis Braun, Jeff Leggett and Darren Zumpe)
