Tristan Draper Scores 7th Place Finish on Saturday Night at the BOS; Great Experience at the Front of the Field Early in Main Event

Competing in his first full season in the ultra-competitive Sportsman division, Tristan Draper was well aware that it wasn’t going to be easy. He has had plenty of ups and downs throughout the season. He was back at Brockville Speedway this past weekend looking for some good luck a tough few weeks at the BOS.

The night started out well for Draper, taking the win in his qualifying heat race. He started the 25 lap feature from the front row, and battled for the lead for the opening 10 laps. As the race progressed, the handling on Draper’s car started to go away, but the end result was a strong seventh place finish.

“We are real happy with our run tonight”, says Draper. “I would have liked to stay up front and race for the lead, but the car started to get tight towards the end, and that is all we could do”.

Draper is currently 11th in track points, only 7 points back of the top ten going into the final month of the season. He will return to the BOS this coming Saturday night looking to build on last week’s strong performance.
