Thompson takes Shouldice ALSTAR win at Sunset Speedway

STROUD, ON  Reigning Shouldice ALSTAR Late Model Series champion Robbie 
Thompson dominated Saturday night's ALSTAR race at Sunset Speedway. The 
Shear Metal Products / Logel's Dodge driver won a heat race, started on the 
pole for the feature, and led all 75 laps around the Barrie-area oval en 
route to the victory.
         Finishing second was Kirk Hooker, of Chatham, ON. The driver of 
the Country View Golf Course / McColl's Racing Chevy started fourth in the 
field of 22 starters and quickly jumped two positions, to second place. The 
veteran ALSTAR competitor had to settle for the runner-up position, 
however, as he was unable to wrestle the top spot from Thompson over the 
remaining laps.
         Derrick Tiemersma, driver of the Wayfreight / Gates / Wix / 
Chevrolet, claimed the final podium spot. The Newmarket, ON racer started 
15th at Sunset and charged to third by lap 75. Tiemersma's result came on 
the heels of his run to second place  from 20th on the grid  in the 
season-opener at Sauble two weeks earlier.
         The race was slowed by 10 cautions, although the majority of them 
came in clusters as a result of attempted restarts. The first yellow flag 
emerged on lap 1, and saw a full restart take place. A caution-free stretch 
between laps 18 and 53 produced the best action of the event. Eleven cars 
completed the entire 75 race distance.
         Heat race wins, prior to the feature, went to: Robbie Thompson, 
Jason Shaw, Alan Inglis, Dan Delisle, Derrick Tiemersma and Glenn Watson.
         The next Shouldice ALSTAR Series race takes place on Saturday, 
June 11 at Mosport Speedway, which is located north of Bowmanville, ON.
