Shawn McGlynn makes his first trip to CASCAR's victory lane in Sunday's 
PowerWater Series race at Peterborough Speedway
PETERBOROUGH, ON - Sunday was a day of firsts for CASCAR PowerWater Series 
racer Shawn McGlynn. The Kitchener, ON resident won his first-ever CASCAR 
race when he took the victory in the Parkhill Excavating 100 at 
Peterborough Speedway.
         And although he only led the final four laps of the 100-lap 
affair, they were the first feature race laps the McGlynn Ford Taurus 
driver has ever led in CASCAR action.
         Reigning PowerWater Series champion Brad Graham started on the 
pole for the start of the race, which actually commenced on Saturday 
evening before rain washed the conclusion to Sunday afternoon. The HB 
Material Handling Dodge driver showed the way for the first 72 laps before 
he was caught up in lapped traffic and Mike Alguire emerged with the lead 
in his A-DOR Pontiac.
         For a time, it looked like Alguire might collect the first CASCAR 
feature checkered flag of his career, but it wasn't to be. While he was 
being chased by Graham in heavy traffic with just a few laps to go, both of 
the lead drivers were involved in an incident in turn 2 when a lapped car 
spun in front of the field. The result was that Alguire and Graham were 
relegated several positions, handing the lead to McGlynn, who held it to 
the checkered flag.
         "It's been a long time," said McGlynn in victory lane at 
Peterborough. "We were hooked up after making a lot of changes to the car 
recently. The car is holding the track a lot better. It's a pleasure to 
race in this series with so many quality guys."
         Alguire and Graham scrambled over the closing laps to recover to 
second and third, respectively, at the end of 100 laps. Alguire was 
understandably frustrated to see the victory disappear so close to the 
finish, but he was pleased to have been in the hunt. "We had a really good 
run going. It's unfortunate what happened with the lapped cars there."
         The race was slowed by five cautions for a total of 20 laps.
         The next PowerWater Sportsman Series race takes place on September 
17 at Kawartha Speedway near Peterborough, Ontario. The event will decide 
the 2005 championship.
