Weekend rain couldn't stop the Yellowhead International Speedway from holding their stock car races as part of the 2013 summer stock car racing season on Sunday as local drivers flocked to the track with their stock cars for another chance at bragging rights at the race track.
In the Thunderstock races, Rodney Rosenthal was the big winner of the day as he took the checkered flag in Heat One before winning the Feature Race later in the day to wrap up what was a successful Sunday at the track for Rosenthal.
Still, Rosenthal's two race wins on Sunday wasn't enough to make him the biggest winner at Yellowhead International Speedway as Dave Clark took a trio of wins in the Streetstock events besting Rosenthal's two Thunderstock wins.
The day of Streetstock heats began with Richard Hiebert taking the first checkered flag, but it would be the last event of the day that would not be taken by Dave Clark in Streetstock action. After that first heat Clark went on an impressive afternoon of racing, dominating the Speedway from then on there.
Clark started off by winning the second leg of Heat One before taking the last heat before the Feature Race to stake his claim as the odds on favorite in the final race of the Streetstock events as the competition geared up with everything on the line in the final race.
With the target on his back after two wins, Clark settled in and outdrove the rest of the track to take the Feature trophy and his third win of the afternoon in the #5 car. Clark's three wins were top of the day, but Cortney Matkowki and Carolyn Heinrich rounded out the winners on Sunday by taking the Mechanics Race and the Ladies Race.
