2022 Peterborough Speedway - Qwick Wick Super Stock Series

In 2020, arrangements were made for the popular Super Stock division to compete as a support event at three APC United Late Model Series rounds. Contests were conducted at Sauble Speedway and Sunset Speedway, with the finale at Jukasa Motor Speedway. In 2021, the class received backing from Qwick Wick Fire Starters for the inaugural five-race championship.

There are five Qwick Wick Super Stock Series events this season.

Saturday, June 4 - Flamboro Speedway
Saturday, June 18 - Peterborough Speedway
Friday, July 1 - Delaware Speedway
Saturday, August 13 - Sunset Speedway
Friday, September 23 - Delaware Speedway

The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the ‘60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a ‘stepping stone’ for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category.

The second round of the 2022 Qwick Wick Super Stock Series was held at Peterborough Speedway during the AP Emissions Technologies event. Drivers would compete in a fifty-lap contest around the 1/3-mile semi-banked asphalt oval.

Round two of the 2022 Qwick Wick Super Stock Series attracted twenty drivers. The fourth-fastest qualifier, Shawn Chenoweth, started on the pole, driving the No. 89C London Recreational Racing Chevrolet Camaro. Starting beside Chenoweth is the No. 07 Radar Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro of Nick Ramsay, who qualified seventh fastest. Row two is occupied by Jason Parker and Trevor Collver.

Jason Parker captured the victory in round two of the Qwick Wick Super Stock Series. Unfortunately, the race ended with some controversy and confusion. Entering the final lap, there was an incident in corners three and four. The Race Director called for a caution as the leaders crossed the finish line. An extra lap was required, which allowed Parker to pass Shawn Chenoweth, who was in first place, for the win.

When the new Qwick Wick series was announced for the 2021 season, Carson Nagy moved from the Late Model division to a Super Stock car. He was driving the No. 93 Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC Chevrolet Camaro. Nagy had a good reason to be optimistic heading into round two at Peterborough as he was the defending race winner. This year, Nagy started in the fifth position and finished fourth.
