Having been around for the track for many years as a fierce competitor in the Pro-Stock ranks, he always helped other teams finan- cially or physically as he opened a speed shop for his colleagues. The night had also a special feel for Brian Mulligan’s career, as he received the Mitch Jock Memorial Award of Merit. Mulligan has been involved in the motorsports for an outstanding 51 years. Track announcer since 1982 in Cornwall, he has also been involved in other functions helping his peers along the way.

The Cornwall Motor Speedway held its 2014 Banquet of champion at the South Stormont Community Hall as a room full of guests gathered to celebrate and recall last year’s events. Carey Terrance left the banquet with the Jiffy Auto Service Modi- fied Championship trophy after an epic battle with Stephane Lafrance through- out the season. As a great consolation prize, Lafrance won the Canadian Nationals champion- ship while Chris Raabe captured the Doiron Engineering Cup Heat Championship. Ter- rance and Lafrance had great season with Terrance finishing second to Lafrance in the Canadian Nationals as Lafrance finished only 2 points behind Terrance in the track championship.
