MEDICINE HAT, AB – John Walters continued to stretch his lead at the Medicine Hat WPCA Races on Friday, winning the night money for the second straight day.

Coming off barrel three in the second heat of the night, Walters posted a clean time of 1:02.27 to finish first in his heat and post the best time of the evening.

Walters was a full second faster than Kirk Sutherland who finished second on the night with a time of 1:03.32, while Codey McCurrach was third at 1:03.41.

Winning both nights so far, Walters sits comfortably in first place in the aggregate standings with 72 points, with Sutherland and McCurrach moving into second and third place, respectively.

Just behind them are Jordie Fike and Doug Irvine, who are looking to move their way into the top three on the leader board.

Last year’s champion Luke Tournier sits a ways back in 15th place, needing to make up over four seconds to catch Walters.

Drivers will return to the track at the Stampede Grounds for Day 3 on Saturday, getting the heats underway at 7:00 pm.

The top three aggregate drivers after Saturday’s races will book their place in the ‘Dash for Cash’ heat on Sunday afternoon.
