The third and final Holiday Inn Five Dollar Friday will take place on Brighton’s Applefest weekend.

This Five Dollar Friday event will feature the Lucas Oil Dirt Sportsman Cup along with the Qualifying heats for all of the speedway’s four weekly classes and the finale of the Quinte Towing Stingers. The Lucas Oil Cup is a unique race that will see the top 20 positions be locked in from the Lucas Oil Sportsman Shootout points standings between the following five tracks from Western Ontario and Upstate New York; Merrittville Speedway, Ohsweken Speedway, Humberstone Speedway, Ransomville Speedway and Genesee Speedway. The real battle will be for the remaining six positions for the cars that are not locked in and who will be trying to make the show that will see the winner take home a cool $1,500.00. This night will also play host to novelty events for Brighton classes including the Pro Stock/Canadian Modified Show Down. This event will turn the spot light on the top four drivers in points from the two classes as they dash for a $250 to win event. There will also be a $50.00 bonus for the top Pro Stock in the event so if one of Brighton’s Pro Stock drivers can beat the Canadian Modifieds he or she will take home $300.00.
