STIRLING, Ont. – June 28, 2016 – The Go Nuclear Late Model Series returns to action for the second consecutive week when it visits Cornwall Motor Speedway for the Valley Automation and Control Cornwall Clash presented by Guillevin International on Sunday, July 3. The 30-lap, $1500 US-to-win and $200 US-to-start is among the highest paying races this season and will be the only visit of any Late Model Series to the high-banked ¼-mile bullring in 2016.
Lee Gill of Lafargeville, NY is the most recent winner at the Eastern Ontario track, but will not return to defend the title. The 2014 series visit to Cornwall produced the closest finish in series history. Brighton’s Phil Potts edged Adam Turner by 0.011 seconds in an iconic one-lap dash.
Charlie Sandercock enters the race as the series point leader and rides a wave of momentum following last Saturday’s win during the50-lap Schools Out Shootout presented by Deerhaven Farm and Garden at Brighton Speedway. On the strength of a second-place finish on Saturday night, Brighton native Phil Potts anchors the second spot in the championship standings, just nine points behind Sandercock.
Another Brighton native, Brandon Mowat, currently holds the third position in the standings, on the strength of two top-10 finishes to start the campaign. Niagara Falls, Ont. native Sam Pennachio occupies fourth in the standings and Macedon, NY rookie driver Chad Homan sits fifth.
Pit gates will open at 3:00pm for drivers before the grandstands open at 5:00pm. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm. For additional event information, visit www.cornwallspeedway.com.
