Evoy Comes Within a Lap of Back to Back Wins At Brockville Speedway

The Evoy Racing team from Brockville, Ontario had a couple of races scheduled this past weekend, beginning with Friday night at Mohawk Raceway and Saturday night at their home track, Brockville Ontario Speedway. The Evoy team has been on fire lately, finishing in the top five in eight of their past nine races, including a win at Mohawk Raceway in that stretch dating back to early June and the recent win at Brockville.
The Evoy’s made the drive to the Mohawk Raceway on Friday night despite the persistent light rain that was falling for most of the trip. By the time the team arrived at the track, the rain had stopped, but only for a short period as the rain resumed during the warm up laps for the Sportsman division. Track officials looked at the radar and made the decision to cancel their racing program for the night.
Saturday turned out to be nice early in the day, but once again rain moved into the area in the early afternoon. Virtually everywhere in the area reported rain, but the Brockville Ontario Speedway managed to get their race in the books. Evoy started the 20 lap Sportsman feature from the 14th position, and when the green flag dropped 17 year old Dylan Evoy wasted little time proving he had one of the best cars of the night. Before the completion of the first lap Evoy had already moved into the top ten, and just three laps later he was up to fifth. On a lap four restart, Evoy took off from the fifth position and continued to work his way to the front. Just two laps after the restart another yellow was displayed, and this time Evoy had his car in the second position. On the ensuing restart Evoy took the lead, and held the top spot for next few laps. Evoy lost the lead on a restart on lap 11, but regained the top spot just a few laps later. With four laps to go Evoy still had the lead, but the second and third place cars were getting closer to the Evoy car. On the final lap, Evoy lost the lead, and slipped to third place.
“The car began to get really tight at the end of the race”, says Evoy. “We needed to keep the car on the bottom of the track, but we were unable to do so. The car was perfect in the first part of the race, and the track was in great shape tonight”.
This coming weekend Evoy will have their Ogilvie’s Auto & Fleet Service, Fireball Performance Automatics, Nan’s Kitchen, RONA, Robotic & Process Automation, Subway, Linde, Unity Savings, RipNET, Charleston Lake Auto Service, Canadian Tire, Thousand Islands Concrete, Pennzoil and NGK Spark Plugs Bicknell car ready for another pair of events beginning with the Mohawk Raceway on Friday night and then back to the Brockville Speedway on Saturday. The Evoy Racing Team will also have the 83 car on display at the 1000 Islands Street Machine Association (TISMA) Car Show on Sunday August 1st in Brockville.
