After a great night of action at Peterborough Speedway, the OSCAAR Midgets turn their attention to Flamboro Speedway this weekend. Entering their eighth race of the year at the Hamilton-based oval with growing notebooks, this weekend’s race promises to be a thriller with a full field of drivers on track.
Alex Cuzzila is looking for another strong finish after posting a sixth place finish in his last trip to Flamboro Speedway.
Brian McDonald hopes to run well this weekend as he has yet to post a finish outside of the top-eight this year, including five straight podiums as of recent. He’s also posted a top-four finish in each of the three races at Flamboro so far this year.
Wally Wilson looks to run up front on Saturday following a sixth place finish at Peterborough. He’s done well this year at Flamboro with no finishes outside of the top-six.
James Stanley will also be tough to beat as he comes off his third straight podium finish. He’s been strong at Flamboro, posting a victory in July.
Wayne McKibbon has started off this year real well with a top-seven finish each week. He’ll look to carry the success forward to Flamboro where he has finished in the top-five in each of the three races this year.
Ryan Brown caught people off-guard at Grand Bend, scoring a heat victory followed by a runner-up finish in the main event. Since then, he’s been on a roll with a top-five finish in each of the races since.
Zack Milman didn’t start off his rookie campaign as he hoped with only one top-10 in the first three races. However since then, he’s been on a roll with three straight seventh place finishes.
Shawn Stanley enters this weekend with momentum after four top-10 finishes. He was solid last year at Flamboro, finishing seventh and finished seventh in July at Flammy.
Owen Elliott made his first start of the year last weekend with style as he picked up the win at Peterborough. Craig Deacon also made his 2016 debut at Peterborough, posting an eighth place finish.
Bill Heatherton didn’t have the 2016 debut he had hoped for at Peterborough with a 12th place finish. Since then, he’s been a little stronger, posting a pair of eighth place finish and a 10th.
Darryl Anthony made his first start of the year at Peterborough, running into issues. However, he was able to things around with a sixth place finish at Flamboro in July. He’ll look to run in the top-10 once again after finishing 12th at Peterborough.
Monty Farrell made his 2016 debut at Flamboro Speedway a couple weeks ago, posting a solid ninth place finish. He’ll look to continue to get stronger this weekend.
Russ Couture may have started off a little rough with a quick roll-over in his debut at Flamboro, but three top-10 finishes despite that, including a season-best of sixth last week at Grand Bend. After crashing in his last trip to Flamboro, his team has been working feverishly on repairs in hopes of returning to the tour soon.
Richard Woodland hopes to keep his early season momentum going as he posted three podium finishes in the first three races, including a victory at Grand Bend Speedway.
Larry Lawson is on a roll with three straight top-seven finishes. He hopes to a good run at Flamboro after finishing seventh in May.
Brian Woodland is hoping to keep the early season momentum rolling after winning the season opener at Flamboro Speedway, followed by a third place finish at Peterborough Speedway.
Along with the OSCAAR Midgets at Flamboro Speedway this weekend will be the Outlaw Super Lates, OSCAAR Modifieds and OSCAAR Pro Midgets.
