CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — Cody McPherson led a trio of Canadian DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series drivers across the finish line at Land of Legends Raceway to win the Sportsman portion of the Gerald Haers Memorial.
Shane Pecore and Jessica Power finished close behind, claiming the final two steps on the podium.
McPherson won his last series race in a borrowed car, but he was back in “Old Faithful” No. 7 at the famed fairground for his second win of the 2025 Championship Series.
“We’ve always struggled here, so to get a win is sweet,” McPherson said. “We finished second in the Heat, but we weren’t even close to Murtaugh. I came in and said we gotta change all four shocks. That’s what we did. The last few times we’ve been here, the best we’ve gotten was fifth, and it took everything we had to get that fifth. We knew we had to try something if we were going to win it.”
