With 3 rookies in top five perhaps a first time winner at Barrie
Super Late Models: Last year’s feature saw 49 green flag laps proving anything can happen, Tyler Hawn #42 will make his first start of the 2014 season at his home track. #07 Todd Campbell looks to return to competition at Barrie. #82 Corey Jones looks to rebound after being sidelined with motor issues the past two events.
