We are saddened to share the passing of the original matriarch of Brighton Speedway.

REDDOM, Donna Marie — Born April 19, 1942, in Moncton, New Brunswick, Donna passed away peacefully on July 4, 2026, at the age of 84. She was the beloved daughter of the late Cecil and Gertrude (Westbury) Marshall.

Loving mother of Luanne Reddom (Ric Bell), Larry Reddom (Lori), Paul Reddom (Vicki), and Jules Reddom (Shawn Gayton). Cherished grandmother of Jennelle Sleeman Payne ( Kenny), Jessica Rout (Jeff), Paul Reddom Jr., and Porter Red, and proud great-grandmother of six. Predeceased by her brother, Alan Marshall, and her beloved grandson, Kenny Dennis. Donna is survived by her brother, George Marshall (Ginny), and their family.

Donna will be remembered for her strength, determination, and independence, as well as her quiet kindness and steadfast loyalty to those she loved. She lived with resilience, found joy in life's simple moments, and leaves behind a legacy of hard work, friendship, and love.

Donna was proud to be one of the founders of Brighton Speedway. What began with the purchase of a piece of property and a dream grew into something far greater than she ever imagined. Alongside her family, she devoted countless hours to helping build the speedway from the ground up, contributing wherever needed behind the scenes. From organizing and planning to ensuring operations ran smoothly, her dedication, hard work, and perseverance were instrumental in establishing Brighton Speedway in its early years. While she never sought recognition, those who knew its history understood the vital role she played in creating what would become a lasting part of the Brighton community.

Donna began her career at Pearsall Motors before serving the Town of Brighton for many years as Deputy Clerk-Treasurer. She took great pride in serving her community and assisting others.

Donna was blessed with friendships that enriched her life. Her longtime friend Gloria shared many years of laughter, conversation, and unwavering friendship. She also treasured the devoted friendship of Gisele, whose kindness, loyalty, and steadfast support meant more than words can express. Her neighbour, Jim, brightened nearly every morning with a fresh coffee and a friendly visit—a simple act of kindness that became a cherished part of Donna's daily routine. Our family is deeply grateful for the love, friendship, and care each of them shared with her.

Donna had a special love for animals and welcomed not only her own pets but also those belonging to her children, family, and friends. There was always room in her heart for one more furry companion.

Our family will always be grateful for the compassion shown by the staff at Hospice Quinte, including the nurses, physicians, volunteers, and everyone whose kindness helped make her final days comfortable and peaceful.

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date.

If desired, memorial donations to Hospice Quinte or Fixed Fur Life would be appreciated by the family.

Condolences may be shared with the family in the online guestbook at milestonecremation.ca

Ontario's Best Set to Clash in Inaugural Crate vs. Open Late Model Challenge Series
Three Tracks. Eight Days. One Champion.

The stage is set for one of the biggest Dirt Late Model events Ontario has seen in years.

Beginning this Saturday, Ontario's premier Late Model drivers will battle through three races at three of the province's most respected dirt tracks as the inaugural Crate vs. Open Late Model Challenge Series gets underway.

Hosted by BUXTON SPEEDWAY, OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY, and Brighton Speedway, the unique mini-series will pit Ontario's top 604 GM Crate Late Models against the thunderous Open Late Models in a battle that will test horsepower, handling, and driver skill across three distinctly different race tracks.

Each event pays $2,500 to win, with every feature starter guaranteed $400, while championship points, bonus money, and bragging rights await the teams that can conquer all three rounds.

The question heading into opening night is simple:

Can the lightweight, balanced 604 Crate Late Models outrun the brute force of the 800-horsepower Open Late Models?

Over the next eight days, race fans are about to find out.

Drivers from Brighton Speedway's weekly Late Model division will be joined by competitors from BUXTON SPEEDWAY and teams from across Ontario and Upstate New York. Several Brighton regulars are expected to convert their 604-powered cars to Open specifications specifically for this challenge, creating one of the deepest and most talented Late Model fields assembled this season.

Round One – BUXTON SPEEDWAY
Saturday, July 18

The championship begins on BUXTON SPEEDWAY's fast and sweeping clay oval near Chatham.

Known for rewarding horsepower and momentum, Buxton has traditionally favored the Open Late Models, making Round One an early opportunity for the high-powered machines to establish themselves in the championship standings.

Crate competitors, however, will have additional motivation thanks to James Hill Farms, which has posted bonus awards for the top three Crate Late Model finishers.

Top Crate Finisher – $300
Second Crate – $200
Third Crate – $100

Round Two – OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY
Tuesday, July 21

The championship shifts to one of Canada's biggest racing stages as the series joins the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series at OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY.

Although Ohsweken doesn't host weekly Late Model competition, the wide, high-speed racing surface has produced spectacular Open Late Model racing over the years and should create another thrilling chapter in the championship battle.

Adding even more excitement, NASCAR legend Kenny Wallace will make a special appearance behind the wheel of a Dirt Late Model prepared by the Haulin Haskell's Race Team. One of the most recognizable personalities in motorsports, Wallace's Canadian Late Model appearance is expected to draw tremendous attention as he takes on many of Ontario's top dirt racers.

James Hill Farms will once again reward the top three Crate Late Models with bonus money.

Championship Finale – Brighton Speedway
Saturday, July 25

The inaugural Challenge Series comes to a dramatic conclusion during the Horsepower Hustle 40 at Brighton Speedway.

Brighton's lightning-fast 1/3-mile clay oval has long been known for producing exciting side-by-side Late Model racing and could provide the perfect equalizer for the Crate Late Models. While the tighter racing surface may help neutralize some of the horsepower advantage enjoyed by the Open cars, the championship is expected to remain wide open until the final checkered flag.

Vanderlaan Building Products Ltd. will recognize the competitors making the trip with a Top Visiting Driver Bonus.

Top Visiting Driver – $300
Second Visiting Driver – $200
Third Visiting Driver – $100
Bonus Awards

In addition to the posted purse, Close Racing Supply will award a $100 Hard Charger Gift Certificate at each of the three Challenge Series events.

Championship Purse

Each event will pay:

Winner – $2,500
Runner-Up – $1,250
Third – $800
Fourth – $600
Fifth – $550

Every feature starter receives a minimum of $400.

At the conclusion of the series, Brighton Speedway will award the Championship Point Fund:

Champion – $1,000
Second – $600
Third – $400
Fourth – $300
Fifth – $200

The highest-finishing 604 Crate Late Model team in the overall championship standings will also earn a $500 Championship Bonus.

Drivers must compete in all three races to be eligible for championship payouts and bonus awards.

Race Format

The Challenge Series will utilize the proven Northeast Late Model Alliance race procedures.

17 Cars or Less

Two Heat Races
Top Four redraw for feature starting positions

18 Cars or More

Three Heat Races
Top Three from each heat advance to the redraw

Heat race lineups will be determined by pill draw, while the remaining feature starters will line up heads-up based on heat race finishes. Feature events are expected to range between 30 and 40 laps depending on event scheduling.

Three Tracks. Eight Days. One Champion.

Every lap will matter.

Every position will count.

When the checkered flag falls at Brighton Speedway on July 25, one driver will stand alone as the inaugural Crate vs. Open Late Model Challenge Series Champion.

Will raw horsepower prevail, or can the Crate Late Models prove that handling and consistency still win races?

Ontario race fans are about to find out.
