For the third straight event at Kawartha Speedway, Andrew Gresel would score the victory as he would pass Glenn Watson after a mid-race restart and lead the rest of the way. It also marks Gresel’s third straight victory on the OSCAAR Super Late Model tour, following wins at Sauble Speedway and Peterborough Speedway.
Jesse Kennedy won the first heat ahead of Gresel, Mike Beyore, John Owen, Tyler Hawn and the 5.
Kevin Cornelius won the second heat ahead of Rob Poole, Kelly Balson, Watson, Charlie Gallant and Dave Taylor.
Come feature time, it’d be Glenn Watson starting on pole ahead of Rob Poole, Kelly Balson, Mike Beyore, Jesse Kennedy, Kevin Cornelius, Andrew Gresel, John Owen, Charlie Gallant, Tyler Hawn, Dave Taylor and the 5.
Glenn Watson would take the early lead in his No. 22 Line-X Protective Coatings – Barrie, Race2way.ca, Rival Office Solutions, Williamson Uxbridge GM, TSS Top Shops Auto Body Supply, Klotz Canada, ERA Tours and Port City Race Cars SLM while Poole and Beyore battled for second. Beyore would get the spot, bringing Cornelius and Gresel through with him. Cornelius would then get alongside Beyore for second, getting the spot and bringing Gresel through with him. Poole continued to hold down fifth ahead of Kennedy, Balson, Owen, Hawn, Gallant, Taylor and the 5. Kennedy would get by Poole for fifth, before getting alongside Beyore for fourth. Kennedy would be able to get fourth before the caution flew for Balson sliding up the track with a flat tire in turn three and four. He would pull off under caution to get the tire changed.
Watson would get a good restart while Gresel was able to get by Cornelius for second ahead of Kennedy as Beyore and Owen battled for fifth. Owen would get the spot, with Poole trying to follow him through. Poole wouldn’t be able to, as Beyore was able to hold down the sixth spot ahead of him, Hawn, Balson, Gallant and Taylor.
The field would get strung out and stay that way through the middle portion of the event. Kennedy would catch up to Cornelius and try to pass him on the bottom a few different times heading into turn one. One of the attempts to pass resulted in contact between them, resulting in a cut tire and a spin for Cornelius with approximately nine laps to go.
Watson would do everything that he could on the restart, thought it wouldn’t be enough as Gresel was able to take the lead.
Andrew Gresel would then lead the remainder of the feature in his No. 81 Sauble Falls Tent and Trailer Park, Canadian Union of Skilled Workers, London Recreational, HY-Grade Roofing, Haveone and RadenGivari of eHomes SLM to pick up the feature victory. Glenn Watson would finish second ahead of Jesse Kennedy, John Owen, Mike Beyore, Rob Poole, Kevin Cornelius, Kelly Balson, Tyler Hawn, Charlie Gallant and Dave Taylor.
