I Would Wait 'Til June 27th But There's New Information For This One.

Lap Leader Breakdown:
Gardiner Leavitt: 1
Wes Rosner: 2-8
Claude Leclerc: 9-39
Ron Barcomb: 40-50

Gardiner Leavitt Got Around Kevin Lepage (That Lepage, Yes) To Lead The
1st Lap, But The Thrill Was Short Lived As Wes Rosner Got Around Both
Lepage & Leavitt To Lead Laps 2-8. Leavitt Wrecks Lap 8, Setting Claude
Leclerc Up To Lead Laps 9-39.

Leclerc Has An All But Assured Victory Stripped b/c Of Engine Issues,
Allowing Ron Barcomb To Score The Upset @ NASCAR North's 2nd Trip To
Thompson. Barcomb, Running A Partial Schedule, Had Exactly x1 T20 On The
Year Heading Into This One (A 20th Exactly); Barcomb Would Tack On A Few
More T10s, But Never Scored Another T5.

The Only Part I'm Uncertain Of, & It Seems Likely Either Way, Is Whether
Leclerc's Engine Issues Dropped Fluids To Cause The Lap 46 Wreck Or If
That Was An Independent Incident.

Drivers @ All x5 Thompson Races:
Robbie Crouch, Dick McCabe,
Jamie Aube, Jean-Paul Larose,
Wes Rosner, Claude Leclerc,
Kevin Lepage, Joey Kourafas,
Stub Fadden, Keith Cavanagh (X1),
Barney McRae (X1), Beaver Dragon (X1),
Bobby Dragon (X1), Milt Wright (X1),
Gardiner Leavitt (X1), Chuck Bown (X1)
