(September 22, 2021) As Fall arrives, Wight Motorsports Inc (WMI) is not slowing down at all. They’ll be going full speed for the final three races of the 2021 NASCAR Pinty’s Series scheduled for this weekend at Delaware Speedway near London, Ontario. Here’s how it looks by the numbers, three races, four cars, five drivers.
In addition to the usual fleet of cars with Donald Theetge, Mark Dilley and TJ Rinomato participating in each of the three events, the #19 car returns to action with Brandon Watson at the wheel on Friday to kick off the weekend.
Watson had an impressive showing in his first start at Flamboro Speedway collecting a sixth-place finish. Theetge also recorded a top ten finish at Flamboro, his first race of the season.
Completing the lineup, after a lot of discussions of when would be the right time, racing veteran Glenn Styres will make his Pinty’s Series debut Sunday in the #19 car.

Quotes-David Wight, WMI Principal
“First off, huge credit to the WMI team for working so hard to pull this together. With the second Flamboro race postponed, that meant Brandon would race Friday in the make-up event. He did a super job at Flamboro. And then we’ll have Glenn in the #19 car Sunday which we’d planned for some time, so it’s been a lot of hard work to make this happen”.
“I’m excited to see how Donald will perform this weekend, he’s shown a lot of speed and that he’s capable of winning. Mark (Dilley) started on pole at Delaware before and has had a lot of success. TJ has also shown some real progress this season. I’m excited about our chances”
