SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD: Friday night’s Bay Equipment Rentals Weekly Racing Series action saw three familiar names—all who are not regulars this season—find their way to The Tire Man Victory Lane at Scotia Speedworld.
And in the Beginner Bandoleros, it was the runner up in the points standings so far, Addison Veinotte, getting the win.
Gage Gilby returned to the track Aug. 30 for just the second time if memory serves this season to earn the checkered flag in the Strictly Hydraulics Legend division.
The Enfield racer also won his heat race.
Matt Vaughan of Lantz/Bedford/Fletchers Lake got the no. 08 into victory lane in just their second outing of the season.
While it was Dave Matthews of Nine Mile River besting the TOURSEC Mini Stock field for the win.

In the beginner bando feature, Addison Veinotte held off a charge from Brandon McGrath to secure the win and try to cut into Shelby Chisholm’s points lead just a little.
Chisholm came home in fourth place, after getting a heat win earlier in the evening.
Cape Breton’s Jake Campbell drove the no. 38 to a third-place finish.
Sarah Vandeburg of Lower Onslow had the other heat race win in the no. 16.

In the Legends feature, Gilby showed the field who’s boss in taking the win in a rare appearance as he focuses on his no. 25G on the Maritime Pro Stock Tour.
With the Tour off for a couple weeks, Gilby took time to get the feeling back before the tour’s next race this weekend scheduled for Riverside.
Points leader Ayden Christensen, who has been the one to beat this season in the Scotia Speedworld Legends, was second, while Nathan Langille had an impressive showing bringing the no. 19 home in third.
That finish bested his brother Josh by one spot who came across in fourth in the no. 18.
Chase Livingston of the Amherst area was fifth in the no. 39.
Danny Chisholm in the no. 89 and Aiden MacDonald in the 13 had the other heat race wins.
