SHEDIAC, N.B. – Weekend two of the Centre for Speed’s (CFS) 2011 Atlantic Stock Car Championships was a “rockin” affair with excitement from the opening race on Saturday afternoon until the final race on Sunday afternoon as new Atlantic Champions were declared in five divisions.

Saturday’s action got underway with a bit of “housekeeping” as the local CFS Streetstocks raced to determine the 2011 season points championship, rained out from a few weeks ago. Don Marcoux (#27) from St. Charles-de-Kent, N.B.and James “Cooter” Smith (#50) or Riverview, N.B. were tied in points coming into the race, and the one finishing highest in this race would be declared 2011 Champion. Tyler Rossiter (#14) of Weldon, N.B. grabbed the lead and dominated, coming home the winner, but it was “Cooter” Smith who came home second, after a battle with Marcoux, who came home third, to capture the Crown. A wild burnout showed the emotion felt by Smith after the conclusion of the race.
