RIVER GLADE, NB – Petty International Raceway is set to host the second annual Caleb Dunn Memorial event this Sunday with seven different divisions racing nearly 400 laps of competition. Highlighting the event is a 100-lap Napa Cmax Sportsman feature and a 50-lap Petty Pro Stock feature. The Petty Street Stock division will see Twin 25-lap features, and the Leisure Days RV Bandoleros will run Twin 20’s. The Mister Transmission Mini Stock’s will have a 30-lap feature. Also on hand will be the Eastern Mini Cups and the Atlantic Modified (formerly AOW) series, with competitors from both series vying for valuable points as their championship seasons pass the half-way point. All seven divisions will have heat races to determine the starting grids for the features. The Petty house divisions will also be battling for points with just 11 points separating the top two in all five divisions and two more shows after this one to determine overall champions. Courtney O’Blenis and Adam Meehan are tied for the Bandolero lead, JR Lawson leads Brad Daley by a mere five markers in the Mini Stocks, Ken MacKenzie Jr. holds a two point advantage over Alexandra O’Blenis in the Street Stocks, Russell Smith Jr. is just two points ahead of Luc Bourgeois in the Sportsman, and Chris Duncan holds a two point advantage over Ken MacKenzie in the pro stocks.
