[media-credit id=4 align=”alignright” width=”266″][/media-credit]In what is becoming a tradition, Kenny Wallace made his annual trip to Sauble Speedway (Sauble Beach, Ontario) on Wednesday night to take part in the Dash for Cash presented by Butchart Automotive Service & Transmission. The event featured a 50-lap Late Model feature, 40-lap Thunder Car feature and 30-lap Mini Stock feature.

Despite the start-stuttered field, Sauble Speedway’s own Scott McTeer would take the victory.

The night would start off with an hour autograph session featuring Wallace, along with NASCAR Canadian Tire Series drivers Mark Dilley and Scott Steckly. Many of the Canadian stock car fans were out to get Wallace’s autograph, taking advantage of the opportunity. For both years that Wallace has joined the show, fan have been appreciative due to not being able to always get to the races in the U.S.

When it came time for Late Model qualifying race action, all three drivers would taking part, driving Late Models that are normally driven weekly there by other competitors. Wallace would jump behind the wheel of the No. 88 driven by Tim Schreinert, Dilley would drive Nick Goetz’s No. 24 Jeff Gordon look-a-like late model while Steckly drove the No. 68.

[media-credit id=4 align=”alignleft” width=”266″][/media-credit]In the first round of heats, 2011 track champion Jason Parker would win the opening heat while Dilley would take the win in the second heat. Steckly finished fourth in the second heat with Wallace fifth.

In the second round of heats, Sauble regulars Jason Tremble and Andy Kamrath would be victorious. Steckly finished second with Dilley third and Wallace fifth.

When it came time to features, Sauble’s own Marvin Frieburger would have pole, while Dilley started second, followed by  Jason Parker, Jason Tremble and McTeer. Steckly would start sixth with Wallace starting 12th.

There’d be a scary moment on lap three when Mel Preibe would flip over on his roof after going three-wide with Tommy Robb and Cole Weber. Weber may not had known that Preibe was on his outside and slid up coming out of turn two to go out to the wall, pushing Preibe up on the wall and over. Preibe would get out of his car and would be okay.

Under that same yellow, Jennifer Hatch would stop her car just before turn three on the backstretch with the car leaking water. She’d be done.

[media-credit id=4 align=”alignright” width=”266″][/media-credit]On the restart, Frieburger and Parker would battle side-by-side for the lead and stay that way till the caution at lap seven for Tremble stopping on the front stretch. At that point, the top five was Parker, Frieburger, Dilley, McTeer and Josh Stade.

On the restart, Parker would jump in front of Frieburger with the lead while McTeer would pass Dilley for third. On lap 10 while Parker continued to lead, McTeer would get alongside Freiburger on lap 10, completing the pass on lap 12.

McTeer would begin to look for a way around Parker at lap 16, getting underneath him on lap 19. Though the caution would come out the next lap as when Dilley, Kamrath and Stade went three-wide for fourth, it bottle-necked the field up and Roy Wilkie went for a spin. Brittney Gressel, meanwhile, would pull her car to the infield.

On the restart, Parker would have the lead, ahead of McTeer, Frieburger, Dilley and Kamrath. On lap 21, Dilley would get alongside Frieburger, completing the pass for third on lap 28. Kamrath would then pass Frieburger for fourth on lap 33. On lap 39 with 11 laps to go, Kamrath and Dilley would get alongside for third, with Kamrath completing the pass with eight to go.

In the final sprint to the finish, Scott McTeer would find his way past Jason Parker to take the victory in the Dash for Cash presented by Sauble Speedway and Butchart Automotive Service & Transmission Late Model feature. Andy Kamrath would finish third, followed by Mark Dilley and Josh Stade.  Steckly and Wallace would battle for most of the race mid-pack, finishing eighth and ninth respectively.

Shawn Chenoworth would win the Thunder Car feature with a pass on Joe Adams on lap 24.

Kevin Bridge would win the Mini Stock feature with a pass on Billy Swartzenburg on lap six.
