The Emms Racing team got their 2017 season off to a strong start, with A.J. Emms scoring a runner-up finish at Flamboro Speedway.

Emms was quick right from the start of the night, finishing second in his first heat, followed by a win in the second qualifier.

Starting the feature in sixth, he avoided the slip-up in front of him on the opening lap to gain two spots to fourth. He quickly continued to make his way forward, running second by Lap 10 of the event. He was then able to chase down race leader Chris Milwain, but unable to complete the pass.

As a result, he crossed the finish line in the second spot.

There is not much off-time for Emms and company, as they’ll be back in action this Friday night on June 2 at Kawartha Speedway. Gates open at 5pm, with racing kicking off at 7pm.

Emms and team are proud to be supported by BAE Environmental, Artech Promotional Products, Sunshine Super Wash, Thor Motors Orillia, Klotz Canada, TSS Top Shops and Creecher’s Design this season.
