Stewart Friesen Sweeps the Bill Ag Modified Elimination! 🏁

What an incredible night at the track! We witnessed a powerhouse performance as Stewart Friesen dominated the field to sweep the entire event. In a truly special moment, Stewart took home a trophy inspired by his wife’s car—a fitting tribute, as she was and always will be one of Bill’s favorites.
We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community. While we changed things up this year by moving the event to earlier in the season, your support never wavered. Thanks to our incredible sponsors, we were able to award a staggering $10,487 in cash and gift certificates to our Modified division drivers. All 28 drivers went home with a little extra cash last night!
This event is all about honoring the legacy of Bill Ag, a man who loved racing and left us far too soon. We miss his presence every day, but we know he was watching the show right alongside the fans and his family.
Thank you to everyone who braved the cooler temps to make this the best event yet! Here’s to next year—hopefully with a little more sunshine and warmer weather! ☀️
