SAUBLE BEACH, Ont. (July 11, 2018) – It took a little longer than he would have liked, but Andrew Gresel finally has his first win of the season.
Gresel scored the victory in his Sauble Falls/CUSW No.81 Super Late Model during the Ontario Super Late Model event at Sauble Speedway on Saturday, July 7.
The win was well-deserved for Gresel. Although he qualified second fastest and got to start on the front row of the main event, he had to outduel fellow front runner John Cadman for the duration of the 75-lap distance, including on a handful of restarts, in order to snag the checkered flag.
The win at Sauble followed a busy tripleheader Canada Day weekend. On June 29, Gresel drove to a sixth-place finish during the fourth round of APC United Late Model Series competition at Delaware Speedway. The end result didn't necessarily showcase how fast Gresel's car was on the night.
The following two nights, Gresel was in action at Sauble for his first Limited Late Model starts of the season. During the race on Saturday, June 30, he earned a sixth-place finish in the first of two twin Features, but was involved in a wreck in the second Feature that ended his night. Scheduled to race the next day, Gresel's Sauble Falls Racing Team rallied and worked through the night to make repairs for Sunday's Canada Day race.
Sunday's event marked the first race at Sauble for the Great Lakes Concrete Series. Gresel's repaired racecar still showed plenty of speed and he drove to a fourth-place finish.
Now Gresel is gearing up for another busy weekend at his home track, affectionately known as 'The Beach'. The Sauble Beach native will compete in twin 46-lap races in honour of retired Late Model racer Bill Zardo Sr. as part of the second Great Lakes Concrete Series race on Thursday night. He'll participate in Friday's Sauble Speedway Golf Tournament and hopes to race again Saturday in a weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series event.
Gresel will next be in action aboard his Pro Late Model with the APC United Late Model Series on Saturday, July 21 at Flamboro Speedway. For more information about Andrew Gresel and the Sauble Falls Racing team, visit www.saublefallsracing.com.
