Scott Wildgust captures round two in Quick 32 Sportsman Series drag racing
Stratford, Ontario-based Top Dragster wins delayed event at TMP’s Cayuga Dragway
CAYUGA, ONTARIO (July 2, 2010) – “You know it’s been a while since I won a race.”
But Scott Wildgust won in fine fashion on the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park, winning the postponed Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts finals.
With the final rounds postponed at the Grand Bend Motorplex last week, the last races of round two in the six-race series were held at Cayuga. When the racing was postponed at Grand Bend, the Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and overall event champion had yet to be decided.
Driving the White and Wildgust dragster out of Stratford, Ontario, Wildgust was pitted against another Stratford, Ontario entry for the event title, as Kevin Wicke and his K&K Racing Dodge Stratus Top Sportsman car advanced to the final round.
