This weekend the Benjamin Motorsports Irving racing team headed North of the Border to Halifax Nova Scotia. One Friday we were the fastest in practice and before we could get qualifing in the rain came and rained out Fridays races. On Saturday we returned to the track and won our qualifing heat and that would put us on the pole for the Atlantic Cat 250. At the start of the race we led the first 50 laps then road around in the top 5 before pit stops. After the pit stops the Irving crew put us out back in the lead and once again we led for a while and then just road in the top 3 before another pit stop for right side tires. After that we made a charge to the front and took  the lead again for the last 50 laps and went on the win the race. The team heads to Wiscasset Raceway this weekend for the Toyota Tundra 250.
