As we head into the final weeks of the 2016 Sunset Speedway Sauble Falls Tent and Trailer Park Limited Late Models season, we’ve seen a variety of drivers visit victory lane as the championship chase has closed the gap. Here is a glance by the numbers for the month of July (and a week of August).
2nd is the average finish for Brandon Watson during this counted period, but he only competed in a single night with finishes of first and third.
3 drivers have reached victory lane more than once during this counted period – Taylor Holdaway, Gord Shepherd and Ryan Kimball.
4 drivers have scored more than three top-five finishes this counted period – Holdaway, Shepherd, Travis Hallyburton and Nick Goetz
5 nights of racing, 5 different pole sitters – Tom Walters, Scott Wylie, Goetz, Hallyburton and Shepherd.
6 victories on the season for Holdaway leads all drivers
6.64 was the average finish of Kimball for this counted period as he currently sits fourth in points.

9 top-10s by Holdaway leads all drivers for this counted period.
No. 10s of Shepherd was able to hold down an average finish of 5.36 after picking up a pair of wins over the month of July.
No. 11 of Morrow made a ton of fans happy in the stands when he reached victory lane for the first time in over a year this past month. Unfortunately even with an average finish of eighth on the month, it seems he can’t shake the bad luck as he had a heavy crash on August 6.
