Barrie Speedway would see its 2013 title chase end in thrilling fashion on September 14, as cooler temperatures were the order of the evening. Ultra tight point battles in two of the three featured divisions set the stage for the intense night of racing to come.

In the track's premier Wahta Springs Late Model division, 2009 track champ No. 10 Gord Shepherd of Oro Station need only take green in each leg of twin 50 lap features to secure his second Late Model title, and fourth career at the speedway.

No. 14 "Hurricane" Thayne Hallyburton of Hillsdale notched his eighth feature win of the season.

The 50 lap finale to the evening would be a fluid affair, as the race was slowed by just a single caution on lap 39, as the No. 57 Ron "The Dominator" Quesnelle would take the lead early and not look back in route to claiming his fourth feature win of 2013.

Quesnelle claimed the final point race of the season by two car lengths over No. 43 Darin Malcolm of North Bay at the line. Gord Shepherd, would cap off a solid point night and take the 2013 title in finishing third.

In the Canestoga Property Maintenance Thunder Car action, the legions of fans on hand were treated to a whale of a finish, as No. 44 Dave Doucette would claim his fifth feature win of 2013 in his sleek looking G.D Coates Suzuki Chrysler 300 Z.

In the St. Onge Recreation Pure Stocks, it was 2010 track champ No. 15 Will Davies who took the checkered to claim his first feature win of the season in the final point race.

Be sure to join us this coming Saturday afternoon Sept 21st, as it's the third installment of the Garry Reynolds Memorial Invitational for all three regular divisions.

With several top drivers already confirmed from around the province, race fans will see firsthand why this race is commonly referred to as the "crown jewel" of the Barrie Speedway race season, as the track prepares to honor its all-time feature race victory leader who succumbed to cancer nearly three years ago.

Pit gates open at 11 am, with spectator gates commencing business at 2pm, and heat races slated to begin just after 4pm.
