Cassius Clark (Farmington, ME) is taking home the prestigious John W. Chisholm Memorial Cup after winning the IWK 250 at Riverside Speedway. Jonathan Hicken of Brudenell, PEI continued his hot streak finishing second. Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) battled Hicken for the final laps and finished third. Donald Chisholm of Antigonish came fourth. Chisholm piloted the No. 88 with a 1971 Holman and Moody Mustang Boss 302 throw back paint scheme in memory of his father, John Chisholm. Truro’s Dylan Blenkhorn completed the top five and was the final car that finished on the lead lap. Defending champ Kenny Wallace (St. Louis, MO) finished ninth. Clark’s win makes him the first driver to ever win all three Maritime 250 lap events – the IWK 250, the Toromont Cat 250 and the Speedway 660 Pro Stock 250. The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour is off next weekend but returns to Oyster Bed Speedway August 3rd for the Lucas Oil 150.
