Dale, Glassford Win Titles On CKSN Night At Buxton

Ridgetown’s Dale Glassford and Shrewsbury’s Jim Dale Jr. put crowning touches to their 2015 seasons on CKSN.ca night Sunday at South Buxton Raceway.

Glassford completed one of the most dominating performances in track history by winning the Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Models season championship race for a second year in a row.

Glassford won 14 of the class’s 16 feature races this season while locking up his second straight and fourth career points title.

Chatham’s Gregg Haskell finished second after leading the first 12 laps, losing the lead after a bad restart.

Ridgetown’s Jason Haskell finished third, with Chatham drivers Brad Authier and Jim Jones fourth and fifth.

Dale Jr. earned his track record ninth career championship race victory.

He survived an early battle with points champion Joel Dick of Leamington and ran away in the late laps of the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modified championship race.

Blenheim’s Brian Speelman finished second, with Clayton Smith of Taylor, Mich., Drew Smith of Port Lambton and Mario Toniolo of Belle River rounding out the top five.

The championship night was moved to Sunday after a postponement for rain on Saturday.

In non-points features, Ruthven’s Brad Bloomfield won the Tirecraft Sport Stocks and Cottam’s Rob Quick the Tirecraft Mini-Mods.

The 2015 season ends with the 10th Canadian Fall Shootout this Friday and Saturday.
