It was a perfect weather night for Pepsi Day on Saturday at Hanover Raceway.
Pepsi provided close to $2,000 in prizes, including a patio set, BBQ, bicycles, and much more. Fans also got a chance to taste test their new lines of Starbucks coffee, Pure Leaf iced tea, and Mountain Dew Energy drinks.
On the track, Hanover's top driver Bruce Richardson, who won three races in week one, continued his winning ways with two wins, two seconds and three third-place finishes. Richardson's first win was in race two with Pembroke Chip in 1:59.4 for owner Dale McFadden of Ayton, Ont. The Arthur, Ont. native also won race six, which was the featured Pepsi Pace with Skyway Boomer in 1:58.4 for owner Glenview Livestock of Guelph, Ont.
