Tristan Draper Wraps up 2014 Regular Season With Events at Brockville Speedway and Cornwall; Big Events on the Horizon for Draper Racing

The last month of the season has been a little rough for Tristan Draper and the Draper racing team, with bad luck and wrong place at the wrong time effecting their finishes as the 2014 season unfolded down the stretch. They entered this weekend’s regular season finale looking to build some momentum, with several marquee events on the horizon for the Draper Racing team.

The night started off great for Draper on Saturday night, picking up a win in his qualifying heat race. The 25 lap main event looked promising as the 17 year old started from the third position, but an ill-handling car forced Draper back through the pack. It was a tough night, as they were scored with a 15th place finish.

After leaving Brockville, the team packed up and headed to Cornwall Speedway for what they expected to be a Sunday night event. An early Sunday afternoon storm forced track officials to make the decision to run on Labor Day Monday instead, and they were greeted with a hot and sunny Monday afternoon, making for extremely slick track conditions. With 44 cars in completion and only 30 spots up for grabs for the 40 lap main event, qualifying was going to be tough. Draper finished just one spot out of a transfer spot in the heat race, and was able to pick up the win in the first consolation event, earning the 21st starting spot for the big race. Unfortunately, Draper was at the wrong place at the wrong time in the opening laps, and his night ended very early in the race.

“It has been a bit of a struggle here lately, but we will keep working at it”, says Draper. “The end of the regular season may be over, but we still got quite a bit of racing left, and we are looking forward to some new adventures over the next few weeks”.

Tristan and the Draper Racing team plans to compete at Mohawk International Raceway next weekend for their Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series race on Saturday, September 13th. They will also race at the series race at Brighton Speedway on Friday, September 19th. They are putting together final plans to compete at Super DIRT Week on October 10-12th, and will finish out the campaign at Brockville Speedway for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals on Saturday, October 18th.
