THREE DRIVERS RECORD FIRST CAREER FEATURE WINS AT CFS
(Shediac, N.B.) — Craig Ward of Riverview, Tim Layton of Hillsborough and Julie Leblanc of Haute Aboujagane will long remember this past weekend as they each picked up their first career feature wins during Sunday afternoon’s Buyer Flyer points championship stock car racing action at the Centre for Speed (CFS), Atlantic Canada’s Super Speedway and “Metro Moncton’s Playground of Power”.
“Ten long years I’ve been waiting for this, and it sure feels great,” are the first words that came from Craig Ward (#02) as he climbed out of his Ron Arsenault Engines Super Sportsman Monte-Carlo during an interview in victory lane. And Ward sure did it the hard way, battling side-by-side with Bert Cormier (#3) of Bouctouche for most of the 35-lap main event and then, he maintained his composure during two late race restarts to finally taste victory and cross the stripe ahead of Cal Hatfield (#11) of Rothesay and Luc Bourgeois (#88) of Memramcook. Cormier’s day did not end as well as he first lost traction as he was leading the event on lap #33, forcing him to the back
of the pack for the restart only to get caught up in another tussle, causing him to slam backwards in the backstretch wall.
