SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD: Two FGI Maritime Pro Stock Tour races, two wins for Cory Hall.

Enfield’s Gage Gilby was one spot shy of the podium with a season best fourth place finish in the no. 25G CKG Elevatoir-Supplement King sponsored machine after beating the 11V of Jordan Veinotte to the checkered flag in an intense and clean battle between the two.
