Delaware, ON- The McCullough Motorsports racing team headed to Delaware Speedway on Friday, June 9, 2006 with the #39 David McCullough Hosie D’s Donuts / Ross Welding / Boswood Homes / BRITE SITE / Carl’s Used Cars and Trucks / Hugh McKellar / BOC Gases POWERADE Modified for the second annual Delaware Speedway POWERADE Modified Invitational race. This $1000 to win event drew the top Modified type race teams from all across Ontario and Michigan.This unique event starts off with each driver receiving two time trial laps which is used to set the field for the 35 lap feature race. Driver David McCullough in his # 39 Hosie D’s Donuts / Ross Welding / Boswood Homes / BRITE SITE / Carl’s Used Cars and Trucks / Hugh McKellar / BOC Gases POWERADE Modified turned a quick time of 19.440 second at a average speed of 93 MPH which made him the 7th quickest and only 0.290 seconds of the new track record set by the #20 of Mark Watson. “I am happy with the time considering it was my the first time I have ever time trialed a race car” said Glencoe native David McCullough. After time trials, the quick time driver rolls a dice to set the inversion of the field. Watson rolled an 8 which placed the #39 David McCullough machine on outside pole for the 35 lap feature race.
When the green flag dropped for the $1000 to win feature David McCullough slipped back to the third position after struggling to find grip on the outside groove of the race track. The top 3 cars led by the #11 of Jason Woods started to develop a small lead over the rest of the 24 car field until a caution slowed the field. On the lap 11 restart the #39 machine failed to come up to speed. Driver David McCullough brought his #39 Hosie D’s Donuts / Ross Welding / Boswood Homes / BRITE SITE / Carl’s Used Cars and Trucks / Hugh McKellar / BOC Gases POWERADE Modified down into pit road where the car was diagnosed with a terminal engine failure and claiming the teams second DNF for the season. “It’s too bad, we have had good runs but we just cannot finish the races due to engine problems. We build our own engines, and we will get to the bottom of the problem and make sure it’s fixed for next week” said a dejected David McCullough. The #1 of Barry Newman went to win the race followed by the #20 of Mark Watson and #69 of Lloyd Rawlings came in third.
The next event for the #39 David McCullough Hosie D’s Donuts / Ross Welding / Boswood Homes / BRITE SITE / Carl’s Used Cars and Trucks / Hugh McKellar / BOC Gases POWERADE Modified racing team is at Delaware Speedway next Friday June 16th along with the APC Late Models, Challenger Motor Freight Trucks and also the fan popular King of the Hill Spectator Races.
