Sponsor Shout Out!

Pur and Simple - Fredericton came on board last year and committed to supporting us again for our 2026 season! This is hands down the best breakfast spot in town from the staff, service, cleanliness and quality; it checks all the boxes.

Since we partnered up, we've given away gift cards to those who support the racing team and have brought our own crew, as well as other race crews here for breakfast on multiple occasions. Supporting those who support racing is way easier when you get to leave with a full stomach, no matter what your breakfast of choice.

We hope that we get more opportunities this year to do events at the restaurant or partner with events that are happening on social media. Pur & Simple support many local businesses, teams, and individuals, and the best thing we can do is show them how much we appreciate their dedication to not only our race team, but the community.

Next time you're thinking of where to eat for breakfast or lunch, make sure you think of Pur & Simple and maybe even bring a couple of friends out with you!

Thank you so much for your continued support and dedication to our team!

Sponsor Highlight!

Instant Imprints Fredericton is a big reason that the car is always looking as good as it does, and this year is no exception! On board for another year, Instant Imprints is back on board as a partner supporting our 2026 season.

Not only have they been the provider for all of my graphics since I started racing, but they have also made all of the merch I've ever sold, provided us with marketing materials and loaned a tent for race dates to keep the sun off the car and look great doing it!

This year they've continued to go above and beyond to not only support me, but also the Tour as a whole. You'll see their logos on our Feature Winner and Rookie of the Race Banners, and they've also provided us with our Top 3 AMT T-shirts that get handed out to the crowd after each race.

Thanks so much Instant Imprints Fredericton for your help and support. If you have any marketing or graphics needs, they do it all from custom apparel to full vehicle and trailer wraps, to window graphics. Support the businesses that support our local racing scene!

Race Recap:

We made quite a few changes to the car going into Round 3 of the Atlantic Modified Tour, and it felt ok in practice but definitely needed some adjustment to get to where we wanted it.

In the heat race we started in 4th and worked our way up to second after two cars in front made contact. The leader went to the pits so we restarted in 1st but couldn't hold off the 58 of Yves McCray and finished 2nd.

In the feature, we weren't really prepared and didn't get to set the stagger the way we would have liked and didn't have time to put fuel in the car (which we didn't realize until we were rolling out on track) so instead of starting 7th, we started at the back since we opted to stay in the pits and get the car filled with fuel. We managed to work our way up to 6th and couldn't make it any further. A caution came out and we stacked back up but I got stuck on the outside and fell back to 9th and was able to recover back to 6th and that's where we finished the day.

Congrats to Joe Hoyt on his long overdue win, Zean Dutcher and McCray on their podium finishes.

Thank you to Rick Leighton for being my crew in the pits for this race and helping me get through the day. As always, a huge thank you to all of our sponsors that make this racing thing possible. We couldn't do this without you and appreciate all your support!

Race Recap:

First and foremost, I forgot to thank Speedway 660, Ford Lincoln, and all the amazing fans for showing up at the track!

The car felt great right off the trailer and we made very little adjustments during practice as we were top 3 in both first and second practice.

The heat didn't go as planned. Coming to the green flag I accidently shifted to neutral and over-revved the car which took out both my belts. When they let go, they took out my lower rad hose and I lost all the water in the car. So we didn't finish the heat. Thanks to Randy Storey Racing's team and Joe Hoyt Motorsports, we were able to get the belts and hose fixed and filled it back up with water for the feature.

Starting on the pole, the feature went way better. We battled side by side with the 74 for a few laps before we were able to get clear and opened a bit of a lead up. It wasn't long before the 55 would catch me and he put the pressure on for essentially the whole race. With about 5 to go, he had gotten to my outside and we were running side by side for the lead. Our tires touched going into turn 1 and it seems that it cut his tire down. After that I just needed to keep the car smooth and ultimately grabbed our first feature win since we started!

I couldn't have gotten there without all my amazing sponsors, my family and friends and of course my amazing wife and daughter who have supported me with this crazy hobby.

Thanks Rick Leighton for crewing with me and Lyndon Pugh and Chris Labelle for coming to help after our heat race issues.

Congrats to Doug Matchett and Zean Dutcher on their podium finishes.

Off to Miramichi on June 6 for round 3 of the Atlantic Modified Tour!

Next sponsor announcement is another amazing group of people who have been on the car since season 1: Munn Brothers Build - Renovate - Paint!

These guys have shown me unwavering support since I started racing and it has been amazing being able to support and promote them all while watching them scale and grow to the size they are now. The results they show continue to amaze me with the quality and craftsmanship they put into everything they do. This is solidified by the numerous Platinum Community Votes awards they have received.

If you have any home renovations or improvements that you've been looking at kicking off this spring, give Munn Brothers a call and make sure it's done right the first time!

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: The Real Estate Dream Team

I'm thrilled to announce the return of two incredible partners who will be sharing the spotlight on the front nose of our car this season: Deanie Adams, REALTOR®, and Jill Drummond Mortgage Broker!

Having these two powerhouses together on the front of our mod just makes sense. Since they're both leaders in the real estate industry, they represent the ultimate one-two punch for anyone navigating the housing market.

Deanie holds aspecial place my racing history. She was our first-ever sponsor and believed in this hobby from day one. As we charge into Year 4 of our partnership, I couldn’t be more grateful for her unwavering support and loyalty in helping me do what I love to do.

Jill’s commitment to our team has been incredible as well with coming on board last season and returning again this year. With the ever chaning finance market with mortgages, especially today, her financial expertise makes her an absolute champion for her clients and someone I've personally spoken to when our mortgage was up for renewal. I wouldn't recommend her if I didn't believe she's the best person you could go to!

If you are entering the housing market, this is the duo you want in your corner. Whether you are buying your first home, upgrading, or refinancing, pairing a top-tier REALTOR® with an elite Mortgage Broker is the secret to a stress-free process.

Do yourself a favor and reach out to both Deanie and Jill to ensure your real estate experience is a flawless one!
