Draper Racing Thankful for the Support From Racing Community After Accident on the Way to Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night

Like any other Saturday night during the racing season, Tristan Draper and his Draper Racing team were making the trip from Sydenham, Ontario to Brockville Ontario Speedway. Just a couple miles from the track disaster struck as an oncoming vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane directly in front of the Draper Racing truck and race trailer. The Draper team escaped injury in the accident, but the trailer received extensive damage.

The Draper Racing team would like to thank everyone for their positive comments and thoughts during a difficult few hours on Saturday afternoon. They would also like to thank John Dumbleton, Jamie Young, Brian Comeau, Graham Drew, Gary Kessel and Herb Scott for their help.

Of course, with the issues on Saturday, the Draper team never did make it to the track…and the races ended up getting rained out anyway.

Sunday was a new day, and with a borrowed trailer from Jamie Young and the J&J Automotive race team in tow, the team made the trip to Cornwall Speedway. The night was a struggle for the young Draper, making the field for the Sportsman 20 lap feature after coming from the back to finish in third in the last chance qualifier. He was involved in an early race incident, ending his night.

This coming weekend, Draper will return to Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday night.

Tristan and the entire Draper Racing team would like to thank all of the sponsors that have graciously contributed to their racing efforts. These sponsors include Draper Doors, Bay Electric, Dig N Dirt, Wejay Machine Products, Rideauview Contracts, Pay Load Transportation, Taylor Auto Mall, Wemp & Smith Construction, Foster’s Repair Service, Auto Glass Pluss, Limestone Cremation Services and TEO Pro Car.
