Van Brocklin Completes Last Lap Pass to Win SUNY Canton Shootout Event 1 at Can-Am

By Megan Rowe - May 23, 2013

LaFargeville NY… Chapman’s Can-Am Motorsports Park entertained the first SUNY Canton Shootout event for the 2013 season on Wednesday, May 22nd. The nights racing action, sponsored by SUNY Canton and Body Pros featured the Sportsman division competing in a 40 lap A-Main with the winner’s share being $2,000. Joining the Sportsman were the Go Nuclear Pro Late Models and Pro Street’s also in racing action.

Outside invader Nick Guererri and Brandon Hagan led the SUNY Canton and Waite Toyota Scion Sportsman to the green in the 40 Lap SUNY Canton Shootout. Nick Guererri led the first lap over Brandon Hagan, Josh Van Brocklin, Anthony Stockman and Steve Hulsizer. The caution flag waved on lap 6 when Greg Kimball slowed on the back stretch. On the restart, Taylor Caprara jumped into the top three as he use the outside lane to rocket by Jessica Power and Josh Van Brocklin. Nick Guererri continued to lead the way with Brandon Hagan, Taylor Caprara, Jessica Power and Josh Van Brocklin settling into the top five. On lap 16, the next yellow waved as Brandon Hagan stopped on the front stretch while running in the second position. The culprit was a broken drive shaft, which would send the former track champion pit side for the remainder of the event. On the restart, Taylor Caprara again used the top side to move by Josh Van Brocklin to take the second position, but Van Brocklin would fight back to reclaim the second position and to begin his assault on Guererri for the lead. Josh Van Brocklin would take the lead on lap 24, and as the laps clicked away Guererri would fight back on the bottom to claim the top spot. The pair battled for the lead with Josh Van Brocklin making his final pass on the top coming out of turn number four for the checkered flag. Nick Guererri would finish second while Taylor Caprara, Jessica Power, and Steve Hulsizer would round out the top five.

The SUNY Canton Late Models were led to the start of their 25 lap feature by Russ Robinson and Alan Fink. Phil Pots jumped out to the early lead from his third place starting position to lead lap one with Alan Fink, Brandon Kidd, Russ Robinson and Billy Eisele filling out the top five. Alan Fink wasted little time as he quickly moved into the lead by lap three. Billy Eisele was slowly clicking his way through positions and by lap 10 had entered the top two and began his battle with Alan Fink for the lead. Billy Eisele pulled to the outside of Fink and drove by him at the halfway mark with Russ Robinson, Phil Potts, Dale Caswell, Sean Beardsley, AJ Kingsley, Charlie Sandercock, Ken Rogers and Rick Miller filling out the top ten. Track regular Billy Eisele collected the victory over Alan Fink, Phil Potts, Dale Caswell and Sean Beardsley.

David Rogers used the fast outer lane to take the lead of lap number one over Sid Harmer Jr., Glen Forward, Sid Harmer and Kenny Hamm. The caution waved on lap four when Matt Parkhurst stopped in turn number four. On the restart, Sid Harmer Jr. took over the top spot from Dave Rogers with Sid Harmer, Glen Forward and Kenny Hamm rounding out the top five. On lap 14, Shawn Kirby spun in turn number four to bring out the caution flag and another quick yellow flew for Milt Combs stopping in turn one. On the restart, David Rogers slipped high around Sid Harmer Jr. to take the lead with Sid Harmer, Glen Forward and Roch Aubin filling out the top five. On lap 24, the yellow flew for Robert Martin spinning on the front stretch. This created a last laps finish that would create the battle of the night.

As the pair came out of turn two, David Rogers had the slight advantage which would carry him to the end. David Rogers took the victory over Sid Harmer Jr., Roch Aubin, Sid Harmer and Glen Forward.
