A fantastic mid-summers evening of Stock Car racing thrilled the race fans at Tullyroan Oval on Saturday. There were emotional scenes as the feature event, the Neil Davison Memorial Cup for Superstox, was won by Neil’s brother Lee, whilst Coagh teenager Robbie Dallas took victory in The Moffett Shield for Junior Productions. The Tullyroan Challenge Cup for 2L National Bangers fell to Londonderry’s David Gurney, with other feature race wins going to Portadown’s Sam Preston in the Thunder Rods and Dundrod’s Willie Stewart in the 1300 Stock Cars.

From an excellent field of Superstox, it was former World Champion Lee Davison who took victory in the opening heat over David Beattie and Conor Murphy. Davison looked set to take heat two as well, only to hit trouble in the closing stages. That opened the way for Jamie McCann to take the win over Steven Haugh.
The Neil Davison Memorial Cup final set off at a tremendous pace, with Davison soon hitting the front once again. A mid-race caution period brought McCann onto his bumper, but Lee edged clear at the resumption to take an emotional victory, his second success in the three years of the event. A huge battle for second went right down to the last lap, with Craig McConnell taking the place ahead of Haugh and McCann as the latter spun across the line. The Best White/Yellow Grade award went to Murphy.

Lexi Crooks showed great pace to win the first heat for the Junior Productions, leading from flag to flag ahead of Robbie Dallas and Casey Cherry. Heat two saw another runaway win, this time for Brandon Litter as he cruised home ahead of Daniel Stewart and Lauren Berry. The young drivers really did impress during the heats with some great racing.
The Moffett Shield final was an action packed event, with Dallas stamping his authority on proceedings right from the off. Crooks was closing towards the finish, but Robbie had all under control to take his first ever race win. Stewart and Leyton Hughes filled out the top three, with Crooks having to settle for fourth and the top White/Yellow Grade award.

The entries continue to impress in the 1300 Stock Cars, which led to some fantastic action on track as the bumpers were exchanged lap after lap. Jonathan Brown worked his way to the front in a superb opening heat, only for Ivan Elliott to land a telling blow on the final bend to snatch a sensational win. Heat two saw Willie Stewart edge clear early on, and he romped home to a decisive win over Matthew Milliken and Craig Bodenham.
Stewart was again the man to watch in the feature race final, relegating initial leader Fionn Donnelly to race home to complete his double for the evening. James Crossett withstood a last bend hit from Ivan Elliott to hang onto second with Robbie Wright in fourth.

The Thunder Rods made another welcome appearance at Tullyroan, with the first heat seeing a great outside line run from David Wilson to take the win over Gary Freeburn. Freeburn then went one better in heat two, the Ballymena man holding on to take the flag ahead of Rab Preston and Wilson.
Freeburn led the final until Sam Preston nipped by, and despite heavy late pressure from James Goldie it was Sam who took home the silverware. Goldie, Daniel Rodgers and Wilson completed the top four.

A smaller than usual field of 2L National Bangers saw David Gurney win a tame Tullyroan Challenge Cup over Paul Compelli and Kieran McIvor. The support heats then fell to McIvor and Deano McGrath, with McGrath also taking the Destruction Derby win. McIvor picked up the Entertainer of the Meeting and Best Wreck Awards.

Glenavy’s Jonny Cardwell dominated the Stock Rod racing at Aghadowey Oval on Saturday night, taking a heat and final brace of wins on his way to the William Cooke Memorial Trophy. England’s World Champion Mason Carberry won the Golden Helmet Award in the Ninja Karts, whilst Strabane driver James McKinney came home victorious in the Lightning Rods King of Aghadowey. Other feature race winners were Aughnacloy’s Kyle Beattie with a double in the Superstox and Kilrea’s Zack McCombe in the Thunder Rods.

The opening Stock Rods heat saw a clear win for Jonny Cardwell, with Sam McNeice and Stevie McNiece next home. The reversed grid heat two saw Mark Foster claim the win ahead of Mark Crawford and McNiece.
Cardwell and defending title holder McNiece shared the front row for the William Cooke Memorial Trophy final, with Jonny quickly building an advantage out front. As he romped home to the silverware, McNiece held on for second despite the advances of Crawford who took third from well down the grid.

A number of mainland visitors joined the local Ninja Kart stars for the Golden Helmet, with Hampshire’s Jack Jones claiming the opening heat win after William Hunn was disqualified for spinning a fellow competitor late in the race. Jack Murphy and Tommy Melrose filled the places. The second heat was every bit as fraught, and once again littered with caution period for crashes. Kori Curran held on for the win after a great drive, with Mason Carberry and Tommy Johnson taking the places.
Murphy qualified pole for the final, but World Champion Carberry quickly raced ahead. Scotsman Melrose was showing well in second, and despite putting pressure on the leader over the closing laps, it was Carberry who took the win over Melrose and Riley Dawson-Stirling. All the young drivers received drinks and crisps from the Moffett family, who also put up prizes for the top white/yellow grade driver in each race.

Tipperary Raceway based Keith Kirwan joined the locals for the King of Aghadowey in the Lightning Rods, with James McKinney just holding off Nigel Jackson and Dean Catherwood to take the opening heat win. British and Irish Champion Stuart Agnew then won the second qualifier, ahead of Mark Corry and World Champion Ricky Shaw.
McKinney stamped his authority all over the King of Aghadowey final, pulling well clear to record an emphatic win over Corry, Jackson and Agnew.

The opening Superstox heat ended up being decided by the Stewards, with first over the line Graham Meek being docked two places for jumping the start. That handed victory to Jordan Robinson ahead of Craig McConnell. From then on the night was all about World Champion Kyle Beattie, who would dominate both heat two and the final.
Heat two saw Beattie leave Conor Murphy and McConnell trailing in his wake, before another decisive drive in the final saw Kyle take his second victory of the evening over Robinson and Murphy.

The new car of Andrew McLean raced to victory in the opening Thunder Rods heat, with Adam Graham and Zack McCombe filling out the top three. Heat two saw Samuel Murphy race home to the win in his unique Vauxhall Cavalier, with McLean and Graham following him over the line.
Tom Archibald led the way early on in the final, but this time he had McCombe chasing him hard right from the off. Zack slipped ahead on lap seven, and rounded out the rest of the distance to take the trophy. Graham chased him hard all the way for second but just unable to mount a challenge, with McLean, James Goldie and Murphy next to finish.

Local Tullyroan 10-year-old Casey Cherry was the star of the Tullyroan Oval meeting last Saturday night, the young driver taking a hat-trick of wins in only his third ever race meeting to take home the coveted Golden Helmet Trophy for Junior Productions.
During the meeting there were Tullyroan Challenge Cup wins for Strabane’s James McKinney in the Lightning Rods and Chris Hamill from Gawley’s Gate in the 1300 Stock Cars. To complete the programme, both Londonderry’s Dean McFarland and Portglenone’s Lewis Hazlett claimed heat and final doubles in the 2.0 Hot Rods and Ninja Karts repectively.

Scottish drivers Koddi Wright and Maia Thompson joined the regulars for a 20 car field of Junior Productions for the Golden Helmet, presented each year by the McKeown family. Novice grader Casey Cherry, in only his third race meeting, showed some great speed to pull clear of the field from pole position to win heat one. Robbie Dallas and Brandon Litter filled out the top three in that one, before Cherry again dominated the second heat. This time it was Lexi Crooks and Daniel Stewart who completed the top three.
The final on aggregate points from the heats saw Cherry on pole position with Crooks alongside, and despite his lack of experience, Cherry was quickly able to settle into the lead. Dallas challenged early on but Casey was able to edge out an advantage that he kept all the way to the chequered flag to seal a fantastic hat-trick of wins. Casey received the stunning Golden Helmet Cup from the McKeown family, with Weir and Harry Minish completing the podium finishers ahead of Callum Doak and Dallas.

Three welcome Republic of Ireland visitors in Padraig Palmer, Pat O’Sullivan and Jamie Bowen boosted the Lightning Rod numbers for their Tullyroan Challenge Cup. European Champion Nigel Jackson was aiming for five Challenge Cups in as many years, and he got his title defence off to the best possible start with victory in heat one over James McKinney and Ross Houston. McKinney had looked very rapid in the opener, and he turned that speed into victory in heat two ahead of Gerry Rogers and Mark McCambridge.
Despite the best efforts of Jackson in the final, McKinney blasted away from pole position and wouldn’t be challenged all the way home for an emphatic win. Jackson, McCambridge, Houston and Mark Corry completed the top places.

An impressive 19 car field of 1300 Stock Car took to the Tullyroan grid, with superb action and bumperwork throughout the opening heat. Ulster & NI Points Champion Chris Hamill stormed through from the rear to take a great win over Tommy McCrory and David Wilson. Heat Two again saw action all around the raceway, with Fionn Donnelly hanging on for a very welcome win ahead of Ivan Elliott and Marcus Crossett.
With Hamill on pole spot for the final, his rivals were hoping to get a hit on him early on, but he was equal to the challenge and made the perfect getaway to edge clear out front. Chris wouldn’t be challenged all the way to the Tullyroan Challenge Cup win, with Brown a gallant runner up and Josh McKinstry getting the better of an entertaining scrap with Elliott for third.

A healthy field of 2.0 Hot Rods was bolstered by visitors Sean Maher and Brendan O’Connell. Dean McFarland set the pace in the opening heat, but he had no answer to flying former World title holder Wayne Woolsey. He swooped right around the outside to take the victory in some style over McFarland and Michael Rodgers. Heat two saw McFarland this time get the head down and pull well clear early on, winning from Rodgers and rapid Irish Champion Drew McKeown.
McFarland again settle into the early lead in the final, with Scott Cochrane this time doing the chasing having broken free from the star grade. Scott really had the hammer down as he reduced the deficit lap by lap. He would ultimately run out of time though, with McFarland completing a very polished heat and final double in great fashion. Behind runner up Cochrane, Allen Cherry impressed in his new car in third.

The Ninja Karts kids once again entertained with three great races. Kori Curran took a commanding win in the opening race, heading home Jack Murphy and Keegan Turtle. Ethan McQuillan led for much of heat two, only being relegated by a flying Lewis Hazlett with two laps to go.
The final again saw the impressive McQuillan out front again until he and Curran spun out of contention. The rapid Hazlett hit the front and he reeled off the remaining laps to seal his double for the evening in great style. Irish Champion Charlie Johnston was second ahead of NI Points Champ Riley-Dawson Stirling in third.

A fantastic afternoon of Banger racing entertained the sun drenched crowds at Aghadowey Oval on Sunday. Ballymoney’s Steven Bolton successfully defended his Shamwreck title in the Unlimited National Bangers, whilst Birmingham visitor Joey Holmes Jnr took the win in the 1600 Rookie Bangers Irish Open Championship.

The Allcomers saw a great dice for the lead between Bolton and Gordy McKee for much of the distance, with the lead swapped on a number of occasions. Bolton just had the edge when it mattered most, taking the flag ahead of McKee and McGrath
The Dash for Cash race saw Dunn take the victory, after only just surviving clipping the stranded Jonathan Compelli car on the home straight. The meeting concluded with the James ‘The Cat’ Smith Memorial Destruction Derby which fell to Strabane’s Tony Gillespie in his limousine as the last car moving.

A fantastic entry of 1600 Rookie Bangers took to the track for their opening heat, with English star Joey Holmes Jnr moving past early leader Craig Bodenham to take a clear win over Gavin Gamble and Bodenham.
Heat two was the race of the day, with a titanic battle for the lead with a number of cars involved. Marc Morrell and Gamble had spells out front before Seven Boyd went ahead late on, only to be then spun aside by the others! Another English ace, Swindon’s Brad Wickson, sneaked ahead to take the win over Morrell and the recovered Boyd.
Heat winners Holmes and Wickson shared the front row for the Irish Open Championship final, with Holmes quickly edging clear amidst the chaos all around him. As the action continued right through the event, Holmes took the win in emphatic style ahead of Wickson and Boyd, with Phillip Farrell and Dylan Connolly rounding out the top five.
The Dash for Cash support race fell the way of Boyd ahead of Josh Goligher and William McFaul, before the Destruction Derby was won by Farrell after he finished off Chris Herron on the Brown Trout Bend.

Brian Lammey looked on course for his first ever win in the formula in the opening Superstox heat as he was well clear out front, but his victory hopes evaporated when a caution period was called for a stricken car in the second half of the race. That allowed the star men to pounce on the restart, NI Points Champion Craig McConnell taking the win over Neil Hyndman and Curtis Greer. Heat two again saw Lammey ahead, but this time David Beattie roared through for the win over Steven Haugh and Hyndman.
The final saw Beattie quickly hit the front, with Lee Davison charging him down until he hit trouble and retired. The opened the way for McConnell to mount a challenge for the lead, with Craig then going ahead with two laps to go and hanging on for the win. Beattie had to be content with second ahead of Haugh, Jordan Robinson and Davy Clarke.

Tom Archibald led the opening laps of the first Thunder Rods heat, before Clifford Gordon slipped past to take the win ahead of Sam Preston and Samuel Murphy. Heat two saw first over the line, Adam Graham, docked two places for contact which saw James Goldie elevated to the win with Gordon in second.
Gordon hit the front early on in the feature race final, and the Portglenone driver was not going to be headed as he romped home for his second final win in succession. Murphy was closing in second place, but never close enough to challenge. Archibald, Rab Preston and Norman Purdy were next home.

Bell got the jump from pole spot, and he edged clear of his nearest challenger Shane Murray. That was how they would finish, with Bell claiming the win and the title ahead of Murray, with Christie again excelling on the outside to take third ahead of Adam Maxwell and Ben McKee.

Three split heats were necessary for the Junior Productions Tullyroan Challenge Cup, with the locals joined by a healthy group of Scottish visitors.

Heat two saw Dylan Fegan just hold off Callum Doak at the flag, before heat three went to Jake Devlin ahead of Leyton Hughes and Andrew Russell.
The final paired Fegan and Wright on the front row, with Dylan taking up the lead before losing out to Devlin. Doak then went ahead as things got frantic into turn one, the young Portadown driver hanging on for the win over Daniel Stewart and Murray, after Fegan was docked two places in the final analysis.

The visiting National Ministox formula, which usually races the length and breadth of England, were the entertainment of the day for many.
