Treyten Lapcevich and Matt Young Victorious at Gold Rush at Flamboro Speedway

MILLGROVE, Ontario --- Despite losing power steering around Lap 60, Treyten Lapcevich muscled his way through the second half of the JRS Auctions OSCAAR Super Late Models presented by Just Foam It Gold Rush 126 to pick up the checkered flag at Flamboro Speedway.

Lapcevich took The Car Guy green flag from the second row, keeping himself as part of the battle at the front of the field all night long. He escaped an incident ahead of him on the Lap 58 restart following the fuel break, and used the following restart to take the lead from Dustin Jackson. From there on, the driver of the No. 16 dominated in pacing the rest of the way en route to visiting Hoosier Racing Tire / Bicknell Race Products victory lane.

Jake Sheridan was the Shepherd Media Fastest Qualifier Award winner for the event, and looked to be in dominating form at the start of the event. However, contact with Glenn Styres on the previously mentioned restart would send him pit side to the attention of his pit crew. The driver of the No. 52 wasted no time in charging back to the front, taking over second on Lap 90, however was unable to mount a challenge to Lapcevich late in the event.

Andrew Gresel’s return to the driver’s seat saw him put together a smooth night en route to third to complete the podium ahead of Dustin Jackson and Glenn Styres. Trevor Monaghan overcame a couple incidents for sixth, with Blake Childers placing seventh following contact with the outside turn three wall while battling for a podium position. John Owen was eighth in front of Ryan Dick, and TJ Edwards. Edwards’ night ended on Lap 58 after contact with Monaghan and the outside turn one wall.

Brandon Passer was 11th, followed by Jaden Cretacci, Scottie Lamp, Dwayne Baker, Dario Capirchio, John Baker Jr., Glenn Watson, Brad Pearsall, and Todd Campbell. Unfortunately, several drivers saw their race events end early as a result of mechanical issues.

Adrian Foster was also in attendance, but blew a motor in qualifying, while Mike Miller suffered a mechanical failure in practice.

Starting on the pole, Matt Young led all 30 laps and held off a late-race charge from the competition to score the victory in the Pure Stock Gold Rush 30 at Flamboro Speedway on Tuesday, June 30.

Matt Young, who has been dominant in weekly competition, started out front and took advantage of the track position as he drove away from the field. James Houghton was able to close in during the final laps, but unable to find a way by en route to victory. Chase Mitchell made his way forward late for a third ahead of Brandyn Milligan and Gary Slama. Bobby Tolton made the trip from Full Throttle Motor Speedway for sixth in front of Phil Givens, Spencer Riddell, John Cote, and Chance Rogers.

Gary Triska battled his way to an 11th-place finish followed by Rick Mitchell, Cam Thomson, Leo Labarbera, Glenn Schmidt, Rogan Monaghan, Jo Lawrence, Rodney Rutherford, Mark Allan, and Tyler Mayhew. Lawrence ran inside the top-five until mechanical issues with seven laps to go. Rachel Mitchell was 21st ahead of Hailey Hill, Brady Cox, Megan Mitchell, Dan Storey, and William Young.
