The Can Am TQ Midgets are set to take Grand Bend Speedway by storm this Saturday to celebrate father’s day weekend.  These high-speed winged warriors are an annual highlight at the track.  The 3/4-scale sprint cars take to the track at 7:00 pm along with Bone Stocks & Pro Stocks on the racing card.  Grand Bend’s signature development divisions of Junior Sprints, Rookie Trucks, and Junior Late Models will also be on the full racing card.

Spectator gates open at 5pm, racing starts at 7:00 pm.

About the Track: Grand Bend Speedway is a 1/4 mile paved Tri-Oval race track. Originally built in 1996 for small-scale vehicles it was later expanded into the track of today which can accommodate both half-size development series as well as full-size race cars. The track is located just outside the town of Grand Bend beside the Grand Bend Motorplex facility.

Kenny McNicol (#5) of Exeter won the Great Lakes Legends Series event on Saturday evening at Grand Bend Speedway at Jared Doxtator Memorial night.  McNicol claimed the lead from eventual runner up D.J. Christie with a bump coming off turn four.  Christie nearly spun into the infield but managed to keep the car pointed the right direction while sliding across the grass on the front stretch to hold on for second place.

In the North Coast Compact Challenge (Mini Stocks), Kyle Neumeister (#92) of Stratford returned to victory lane by holding off a challenging Nathan Hawkins (#92x) of Grand Bend.  Hawkins charged heard near the end of the race, running his fastest laps towards the end of the event while Neumeister ran his fastest laps close to the beginning.  A final attempt at a pass on the final lap came up short and allowed Neumeister to cruise back to victory lane.

In the development divisions, Austin Arenell (#29) of Thedford won in the Mini Trucks, Quinn Goertz (#18) of Ilderton took home his first-ever checkered flag in the rookie trucks, Will Quarrie (#6) of Dorchester claimed the win in the Junior Late Models, Mike Verboom (#02) won in 9HP Mini Sprints, and Dylan Graham (#4) returned to victory lane in the Junior Sprints after extensive repairs following a crash in heat race competition last week.

The next competition at Grand Bend Speedway is next Saturday, June 18 featuring the first showing in 2022 of the Can Am Midget Series (25 Laps), the Jr Sprints, Rookie Trucks, GBS Jr Late Models, Bone Stocks, and Pro Stocks.  Racing starts at 7:00 pm.

Kyle Neumeister (#9) of Mitchell of cruised to a convincing win in the $1,000-to-win Bone Stock season opener over Kenny McNicol Junior (#17H) of Exeter.  Neumeister took the lead early in the race and held on for the victory in the caution-free event.  McNicol Junior at one point had been closing the gap but late in the race noted he was down a cylinder eliminating the possibility of catching Neumeister.

Other winners on the night included Gord Bennett (#70) of Grand Bend in the Pro Stocks, Kara Martin (#53) of Mt. Brydges in the Junior Late Models, Collin Klumper (#11) of Mitchell, and Austen MacLennan (#77) of Vanastra who won in both the Rookie Trucks and 9HP Mini Sprints.  King of the Hill competition was won by a driver in an early 2000s Oldsmobile.

The next racing at Grand Bend Speedway is Jared Doxtator Memorial Night presented by Doxtator Property Management.  The evening features the North Coast Compact Challenge 50-Lap Special (Mini Stock), Great Lakes Legend Series, JLM Future Stars, Mini Trucks, 9hp Mini Sprints, Jr Sprints, and Rookie Trucks.
