CARQUEST Series: Peterborough summary

Graham wins CARQUEST Series race at Peterborough Speedway

PETERBOROUGH, ON - On Saturday night, the CASCAR CARQUEST Series made its lone appearance of the season at Peterborough Speedway for the CARQUEST 100. Series points leader Brad Graham added to his championship lead with a dominant performance at the high-banked, 1/3-mile Peterborough oval. The HB Material Handling Dodge driver earned the top starting position during qualifying and led all 100 laps of the feature race.

Second-place went to Jason Hathaway, of Appin, ON. The E.L. Fordham / TSC Stores Chevy racer dogged Graham for the first half of the event, but backed off a bit, at mid-distance, in preparation for a final charge. Hathaway was all over the leader for the final 10 laps, but couldn't make the winning pass on Graham, who collected his second checkered flag of the season. Hathaway also has a pair of CARQUEST Series victories in '04.

Third-place at Peterborough went to veteran racer Mike Hryniuk, driver of the One Stop Auto Pontiac. The LaSalle, ON racer started fourth in the field of 18 at Peterborough.

The seventh and final CARQUEST Series race of the season takes place next Saturday, Sept. 18 at Kawartha Speedway as part of the CASCAR Championship weekend.
