Michael Williams scores second straight Canadian Vintage Modified victory at Sunset Speedway

After scoring his first career Canadian Vintage Modified victory at Sauble Speedway, Michael Williams carried that momentum straight to victory lane at Sunset Speedway as he scored the victory in the Velocity 250 Canadian Vintage Modified feature.

 

The first heat didn’t go so well for Jason Keen as he pulled off with issues with two laps to go. Steve Trendell scored the victory ahead of T.J. Marshall, Williams, Adrian Donkers, Darren Dryden, Dustin Hood and Jerrid Morphy.

 

The second heat featured a quick caution as Ron Easton stopped in turn two with problems. John Karley picked up the win ahead of Chris Milwain, Brian Atkinson, Easton, Mike Podd, Rick Schurr, Patrick Rulens, Al Shepstone and Ian Burney.

 

Come feature time, Schurr would grab the early advantage ahead of Williams as Atkinson and Hood battled for third. Williams would then get alongside Schurr for the lead at lap three, taking the spot a lap later as Atkinson grabbed third with Donkers in tow. Easton moved into fifth ahead of Trendell and Keen. Keen would get alongside Trendell for sixth at lap six, completing the pass a lap later.

 

Further up towards the front, Atkinson moved into second on lap eight as Schurr and Donkers battled for third. Donkers would grab the spot on lap 10, bringing Keen, Easton and Trendell in tow. The caution would then fly as Marshall and Hood tangled in turn one, with Karley also going for a spin.

 

The restart would bring another caution with Schurr going for the spin in turn two. With 20 laps to go, Williams led Atkinson, Donkers, Keen, Easton, Trendell, Milwain, Dryden, Karley, Rulens, Shepstone and Morphy.

 

The second restart went much smoother with Williams holding serve ahead of Atkinson and Donkers. Keen would then continue to move up through the field, passing Donkers to move into third. Trendell then got alongside Easton for fifth and the pair battled back and forth for three laps before Easton got the spot. Dryden would then get alongside Trendell and they’d battle back and forth till the caution flew once again, this time for Shepstone spinning.

 

Williams would get a good restart – but it’d be all for not as the caution waved for the fourth time as Burney and Trendell both went around in separate spots. Williams became the master of restarts on the night as he held serve, again, ahead of Atkinson, Keen, Donkers and Easton. Easton would get alongside Donkers for fourth, grabbing the spot with one laps to go.

 

At the front, it was all Michael Williams as he picked up the victory ahead of Brian Atkinson, Jason Keen, Ron Easton, Adrian Donkers, Darren Dryden, Chris Milwain, Mike Podd, Patrick Rulens, Steve Trendell, John Karley, Rick Schurr and Al Shepstone.
