OYSTER BED SPEEDWAY, PEI: The winning ways continued for Cory Hall on Saturday night at Oyster Bed Speedway in P.E.I.
Hall led the most laps as he picked up his fourth win in five races this season on the Fort Garry Industries Maritime Pro Stock Tour.
And to think Hall, had said he was only running part time.
At the start of the year, Hall, a wheelman for King Competition, had put out a schedule that listed just six races on the Pro Stock Tour schedule as ones he would be at.
Well, his hot driving has those plans changing, and the rest of the competition in the field better be wary and ready.

Before a large crowd on a Saturday evening, and with four local shows having been part of the card as well, Hall pulled away from Charlottetown’s Darren MacKinnon in the no. 18 on the final restart with 14 laps remaining.
MacKinnon finished second with Ashton Tucker (Miramichi, NB) grabbing the final podium position from early lap leader Dylan Gosbee (Cornwall, PE).
Gosbee finished fourth ahead of fellow Islander Robbie MacEwen (Sherwood, PE)
Chris Hughes (Brackley Beach, PE), Braden Langille (Shubenacadie, NS) and Gosbee won their respective Atlantic Tiltload heat races, which set the field for the BJ’s Truck Centre 150.
Langille wheeled the no. 26 Coldstream Chill Pop hot rod to an eighth place finish.
After tangling with Jarrett Butcher with 14 to go, and accidentally involving the 11V, Gage Gilby of Enfield turned in a 10th place finish in the no. 25G.
Shubenacadie’s Steve Lively drove the no. 30 to a 13th place finish among the 19 starters on this night.
