From Merrittville Speedway
In 62 years of racing at Merrittville Speedway there have been many close point races that weren't decided until the final points' event.
When Brian's Tire Repair hosts the 2013 Championship Chase finale Saturday August 31st, championships in three divisions could go right down to the final lap.
This Saturday, one of the battles to watch is between best of friends Evan Curtis and Kyle Pelrine in the Turn 4 Collision 4 Cylinder Division where the two are tied.
Evan Curtis and Kyle Pelrine are good friends during the week, but at the racetrack they are in a fight that will produce only one winner.
After 17 weeks of battling back and forth, the mini stock drivers are tied in points with 700 and have just one race left to decide the Merrittville Speedway track championship.
For full fendered fans, the battle for top spot in the Hoosier Stock Division will go right down to the end as well with Kevin Knapp leading multi-time Champion Rob Murray by eight points.
The same margin seperates defending Rick's Delivery Sportsman Champion Cody McPherson and challenger Gary Lindberg.
While the two are almost 70 points ahead of Brad Rouse and can't be caught - the race to close out the top five will be one to watch as well with recently crowned David Chevrolet King of the Crates Champion Greg Panunte just two points behind Rouse. BJ Willard is just 2 points behind Panunte.
Multi-time Champion Josh Sliter clinched the Points Title last week but the Port Colborne driver and the rest of the J&S Heating and Air Conditioning Modified Lites will use the final point night to get ready for next weekend's two day International Championship Weekend when the best Modified Lite Drivers from across North America pay their annual visit.
Brian's Tire Repair Night annually features the 50 lap John Spencer Memorial for the Bobcat of Hamilton 358 Modifieds and with Pete Bicknell already clinching his 23rd Points Title - it should be quite a race in the final points' event of 2013.
Although defending Race Winner Mike Bowman goes into the night 80 points out of first - he is in quite a points' race with Scott Wood just eight points behind and Mat Williamson trailing by 15.
When the gates open Saturday August 31st - the grandstand front gate area should have quite a display of race cars as Team Brian's Tire is well represented throughout all divisions Saturday Nights and in Kart Racing Tuesday Nights as well. Showtime is 7pm.
