ODLM At Brighton: Two Drivers, Five Points... One RaceBy Greg Calnan - After a one week delay due to rain the Ontario Dirt Late Models will get back to action at Brighton Speedway in Brighton, Ontario on Saturday, August 28th. The event will be one to remember as the 2010 series champion will be crowned. #3 David Scott of Garland, Pennsylvania, who has two wins on the season, holds a slim 5 point advantage over defending series champ #22 Greg Oakes of Franklinville, New York. Scott's teammate #2v Chad Valone sits third in the standings just 25 markers back of the top spot.
The annual visit to Brighton Speedway is always a popular one and this years edition should be no different. In 2010 the speedway brought back the Late Model division to its weekly racing card and the results have been positive. Many of the weekly regulars plan to compete with the ODLM which should create yet another large car count for the series.
In 2009, Chris Ross piloted his #18r Late Model to the win at the Brighton Speedway over John Lobb and Greg Oakes. The third place finish for Oakes capped off his second straight ODLM title. Fast forward to 2010 and the driver of the Pioneer Propane #22 is knocking on the door of a three-peat. Although he has managed to rack up two seconds and a third place finish this season, David Scott has been nearly unbeatable with two wins and a third. With only one race left to settle it and just five points separating the top two drivers the championship could come down to the final lap.
Race time at Brighton Speedway on Saturday, August 28th is 7pm. For directions and ticket information visit
