Last weekend Western Speedway played host to the Wilson and Proctor Big Rig Weekend, featuring the North American Big Rigs, LORDCO Auto Parts Demo Series, Nexx Financial Claimers and an exhibition from Richlock Rentals Capital Drift.
The Big Rig main event was the highlight of the evening, with Jager Berdahl and Kevin McMekan leading the field to the green. Ron Singer would jump from the second row to the front on lap three before pulling into the pits with engine trouble.
Isaac Harder inherited the lead, with Darren Berdahl hot on his heels, but Berdahl would lose an fuel line with 20 laps to go, bringing out the only caution in the race. Harder went on to dominate the rest of the main event, crossing the line ahead of Glen Creed, Cory Riplinger, Cole Wiesner and Kevin McMekan, in that order.
