Story By: TIM BALTZ / BROCKVILLE ONTARIO SPEEDWAY – BROCKVILLE ONT – Night number two of the DIRT Outlaw Apparel/King Edward Auto Parts Fall Nationals saw another packed pit area and a packed grandstand.
Feature action began with a milestone event at the 15th annual Fall Nationals as Just Ramsay led a field of 25 Street stocks to the green flag over Cory White and Stephane Phillippe. Several yellow flags slowed the event but that didn’t phase Ramsay one bit as he held the top spot for the entire 30 lap event, behind him Tod Raabe was representing the Brockville Speedway regulars as he held on to second with Brighton regulars Tyler French, Brock Gregory and Adam Wells were putting the pressure on the veteran. With 10 laps to go Justin Ramsay was well out in front and would go unchallenged to score his 3rd career Fall Nationals Street Stock championship. Todd Raabe, Brock Gregory, Tyler French and Adam Wells complete the top 5. The win put Ramsay on top of the all time win list with 3, breaking a tie with Wade Purchase and Adam Turner. Ramsay was also honored with a special award, having taken the checkered flag in the 100th feature event ever held during the Fall Nationals event, which began back in 2009.
The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club began their 25 lap contest with a scary incident on the initial green flag. Veteran Greg Hale who was crowned the 50/60 Club champion earlier in the night, flipped his car down the front stretch and the red flag was displayed. Hale would climb out uninjured but the car suffered heavy damage. When the 2nd attempt at a star took place, it was Josh Powers in front of the field with Friday night winner Matt Barbour and Steve Billings right there with him. The 50/60 battle for the lead saw Pete Stapper and Steve Barber go at it with Barber getting the top spot early on. The 70/80 cars were dominant as Powers, Barbour and Steve Billings were all in a great battle for the win, with Powers in control. On lap 18 the yellow flew forcing another restart. The green flew for the final time and Powers would not be denied as he scored his first ever Fall Nationals win, joining his dad Jason as a Fall Nationals champion. Barbour crossed in second with Steve Billings, Jason Riddell and Gavin Riddell in the top 5. Steve Barber was able to hold off the challenge from Pete Stapper to win his first Fall Nationals crown. Xavier Perin finished third with Chris Wilson and Joey Hilts making up the top 5.
The Southern Ontario Sprint Car Series would hold their season finale for the very first time at Brockville. Jordan Poirier was the dominant force early on and looking to join his Uncle Steve as a Fall Nationals champion. Poirier led the way over Ryan Turner, Darren Dryden, Shone Evans and Matt Billings. Poirier was literally on auto pilot, but Shone Evans was determined to get to the front. Evans would make a run to second on lap 15 and closed in on the leader. A quick yellow bunched the field up for the final restart, giving Evans one final shot at victory. When the green flew Jordan Poirier go the jump he wanted as he pulled away over the final laps to secure his first Fall Nationals title in 360 Sprint car action. Shone Evans, Ryan Turner, Darren Dryden and Matt Tanner completed the top 5.
The 15th annual DIRT Outlaw Apparel/King Edward Auto Parts Fall Nationals and the 2023 racing season at the Brockville Ontario Speedway is now in the record books.
