For Immediate Release - Ken Pelkie

Joe Middlemiss of St. Catherines, Ontario collected his 2nd Southern Ontario Sprints Feature win in 2007 by snaring the shortened finale at Brighton Speedway Sunday night.

Pending curfew forced track personnel to shorten the event concluding the two day Labour Day Weekend spectacular.

Pole sitter, Derek Jonathan led the 1st circuit before being overtaken by Bob McDonald in lap #2. McDonald’s lead was short lived as he would spin the car in turn #1, handing the lead over to Saturday night winner, Dick Mahoney. Middlemiss had moved into 4th spot as the field formed a restart. Joey quickly overhauled Warren Mahoney to take 3rd and one lap later took second, sending Derek Jonathan to 3rd. Caution flag waved again on lap 6 as rookies Mike Ferrell (15) and Bill Baldwin (14) collected each other at the exit of turn 4. 

As the green waved again, Middlemiss quickly disposed of Mahoney and cruised to the win. One other caution slowed the field on lap nine as Jamie Collard looped his car in turn 4.

Warren Mahoney (25) closed to finish 2nd, followed by 33k of Kyle Patrick, 42w of Rick Wilson, and Dick Mahoney’s 79 rounding out the top five. Series Point Leader, Glenn Styres finished 7th.


Heat races were won by Kyle PATRICK, Derek JONATHON and Bob CRAWFORD. The DASH for CASH was won by Kyle PATRICK.
