Willard Tops Pete Cosco Memorial

PORT COLBORNE, Ontario – Tyler Willard picked up what would be one of the biggest wins of his career Sunday night as he won the 40-lap Pete Cosco Memorial for the Rick’s Delivery Modifieds at Humberstone Speedway.

Before Sunday night, only Mike Bowman, Mat Williamson and Erick Rudolph have been victorious in the Pete Cosco Memorial for the Modifieds. In the end of the 40-lap event, it was Willard picking up the victory. Willard picked up the win ahead of Fred Carleton, Gary Lindberg, Williamson and Chad Chevalier. Dylan Davidson, Pete Cosco’s grandson, finished 11th in his Pete Cosco Haulage No. 73.

The victory earned Willard $3,017 for his efforts. Willard wasn’t the only family member to visit Pete Cosco Victory Lane, as Cody McPherson won the Stirling Lubricants/Champion Racing Oil DIRTcar Sportsman feature event, which paid $1,517 to win.

Other winners included Charlie Sandercock, who won the $1,517-to-win race for the Pro Fabrication/Luke’s Racing Engines Late Models as part of the Northeast Late Model Alliance. Justin Ramsay won the GR Enviro Rail Street Stock feature that paid $817. Austyn Werstroh won his second feature of the season with the Dow Auto Supply Mini Stocks and collected $517 for his efforts.
