The OSCAAR Modifieds would see their fourth different winner of the season as Justin Demelo (No. 82 EMCO Waterworks, CAT Toromont and Demar Aggregates) would pick up his first career OSCAAR Modified feature victory.

Brad Pearsall would drive his No. 1B Performance Signs, Ponderosa Nature Resort, Hosking Race Engine and Performance Improvements Modified to victory lane in the first heat. Brandon Watson would finish second, followed by Barry Newman, Demelo, Chad Strawn and Dave Osbourne.

Gary McLean would drive his No. 8 McLean Industrial Design & Fabrication Ltd and McLean Farms Modified to victory lane in the second heat ahead of Davey Terry, Mike Westwood, Bobby Tolton, Branden Bullen and Ryan Dick.

Saturday night’s feature winner Brent McLean would win the third heat in his No. 7 Home Building Centre (Bowmanville), Pro FX Signs, RN Manufacturing and McLean Farms Modified. Brian McLean would finish second, followed by Shane Stickel, Dean Scott and Ted Patterson.

Justin Demelo would win the fourth heat ahead of Newman, Watson, Strawn, Pearsall and Osbourne.

After halfway through the fifth heat, Bullen would go for a spin. On the restart, Dick would spin Bullen around. Davey Terry would take the win in his No. 14 Wasteco, Castrol, Brennan Haulage and Keeler Electric Modified. Gary McLean would finish second, followed by Westwood, Tolton and Bullen.

Brent McLean would go for the daily double ahead of Brian McLean, Stickel, Patterson and Scott.

Come feature time, it’d be Brent McLean starting pole, followed by Brian McLean, Davey Terry, Gary McLean, Brandon Watson, Shane Stickle, Barry Newman, Justin Demelo, Brad Pearsall, Mike Westwood, Bobby Tolton, Chad Strawn, Ted Patterson, Dean Scott, Branden Bullen, Dave Osbourne and Ryan Dick.

The first caution would fly on lap one for Patterson going around on the backstretch. Meanwhile, Dick would stop on the back straightaway.

On the complete restart, Brian McLean would get sideways, catching Terry, causing Terry to make heavy contact with the inside retaining wall. Gary McLean would also make contact with Terry in the process. Behind them, Bullen and Osbourne would make contact with the wall. The good news is everybody would be okay.

So after the wreck, it’d be Brent McLean leading Brian McLean, Watson, Demelo, Stickle, Pearsall, Westwood, Scott, Tolton, Strawn, Patterson and Bullen.

On the restart, Brent McLean would once again pull ahead while Watson would pass Brian McLean on lap two. Patterson would start to spark as a result of his exhaust  dragging; he would pull behind the wall. The third caution would fly on lap four for Tolton spinning. With 26 laps to go, Brent McLean would lead Watson, Brian McLean, Demelo, Stickle, Newman, Pearsall, Westwood, Strawn, Scott, Bullen and Tolton.

On the restart, Brent McLean would grab the lead ahead of Watson, Demelo and Newman. Demelo would then pass Watson for second on lap 7. On lap 10, the fourth caution would fly for Scott going around in turn four.

On the restart, Brent McLean would get the early advantage over Demelo, however Demelo would get alongside McLean on lap 12. Demelo would clear McLean on lap 13 to take the lead while Newman passed Watson for third. On lap 17, Pearsall would pass Watson for the fourth position. On lap 20, Brian McLean would bring his car down pit road. The caution would fly the next lap for Newman and Pearsall getting together in turn two. Westwood would pull his car off the track, done with mechanical problems.

With 10 laps to go, it’d be Demelo leading Brent McLean, Watson and Stickle.

Justin Demelo would hold on to the lead to take the win ahead of Brent McLean and Brandon Watson. Behind them, there’d be contact made between Stickle, Strawn, Pearsall and Tolton on the last lap in turn four. With that said, Branden Bullen finished fourth followed by Dean Scott.

Brad Pearsall would finish sixth, followed by Bobby Tolton, Chad Strawn, Mike Westwood and Barry Newman.

Gary McLean would finish 11th, followed by Brian McLean, Ted Patterson, Dave Osbourne and Davey Terry. Ryan Dick would be credited with a 16th place finish.

In post-race technical inspection, Dean Scott was disqualified so he drops to the bottom of the running order, moving everybody who finished behind him up a spot.

NASCAR BTS: Samantha Busch’s Adventures in Food, Fitness, Fashion and Philanthropy

While NASCAR driver and team owner Kyle Busch is busy on the track, his wife Samantha is having adventures of her own, from food and fitness to fashion and philanthropy.

This week’s NASCAR Behind the Scenes (BTS) focuses on the myriad of activities that this Busch bride of two and half years is juggling and loving every minute of it.

Although petite herself, one of Samantha Busch’s loves is food and cooking, with special emphasis on healthy eating even while on the racing road. She specializes in foods that are quick and easy to prepare in small spaces, such as their motor home.

“The recipes took off when Kyle was in Texas running around with his plate of food,” Samantha Busch said. “I’ve done some video blogs on healthy options and Kyle’s favorites.”

“That’s been really great that people see that you can cook in a little space and in a quick amount of time.”

Busch admits that while she loves to eat healthy and experiment with interesting types of food, she has to try some stealth moves to get the ‘good stuff’ into her husband’s food, as he is not quite so adventurous.

“I tried making zucchini pasta, which was interesting,” Busch said. “It was good but I’m Italian and although it was healthy, it just wasn’t quite pasta.”

“I gave it a try though,” Busch continued. “Food wise, Kyle wouldn’t do the zucchini pasta by any means.”

“So, I have to sneak spinach into his pasta sauce and vegetables into things.”

Samantha Busch does have a dream when it comes to food and her love of cooking. And she would even include her own ‘weird’ food interests in that particular dream.

“One day I hope to put all my recipes together,” Busch said. “I would love to do a cookbook and maybe due that as a fundraiser for the Kyle Busch Foundation.”

“It would also be cool to also have the fans submit their recipes.”

“But I’d need a whole section for me because I eat really weird food,” Busch said. “I usually make myself something and then Kyle something because I eat wacky food.”

“I eat things like tofu and unprocessed soy beans,” Busch continued. “My mom always used to mix things together so I just pile stuff together.”

“I’ll need a whole section on weird, healthy stuff.”

In addition to her weird, healthy food habits, Samantha Busch is also a fitness fanatic. And she does all of her exercising in spite of being on the road and in a motor home for the better part of every weekend throughout the year.

“In Daytona, an RV show from the Travel Channel is coming because they recognize that I do an awful lot, especially exercising, in the little space in our motor home,” Busch said. “I started doing more video blogs, keeping them short and easy, to help people with the proper form needed in working out.”

“Then, I pin the workouts I create on Pinterest, which has been amazing.”

Samantha Busch said that both she and Kyle also enjoy golfing as their newest workout regime, as well as taking their dogs for walks.

One area in which Samantha Busch has become well-known for is her fashion sense, dressing well at an affordable price. She does her fashion research and especially enjoys her design work, whether it is Kyle Busch Motorsports gear or styling shoes on pit road.

“This year I did a dress collection through the Social Dress Shop at the Kyle Busch Motorsports fan club event, which was huge,” Busch said. “We had a lot of our partners there and they were there showing off the dresses and Just Fab, the shoe company, I work with was also there.”

“I also did a new design that launched there,” Busch continued. “It’s a ‘54’ shirt and it’s summery with different colors.”

“Coming out of the ‘54’ is a picture of Kyle doing a burnout,” Busch said. “And this went out really well because all the lady fans were checking it out.”

“With our KBM stuff, it’s been great,” Busch continued. “I’ve taken over the whole women’s collection there.”

“I’m also working with Social Dress Shop, which is a local online company that sells dresses,” Busch said. “They let me choose these budget chic dresses, everything under $80, for their collection.”

“I’m hoping one day I can design with somebody,” Busch continued. “That would be my ultimate goal, especially shoes.”

“To have an affordable trendy shoe line would be the ultimate.”

Probably most important, however, at least to Samantha Busch is her passion for philanthropy and making kids dreams come true, from ice cream parties to building basketball courts, through the Kyle Busch Foundation.

Busch also has innovated unique ways to raise money, from putting sheet metal up for auction on eBay to having fans donate gift cards used to support wish-granting activities for needy children.

“Last year Kyle won the ‘Toyota Dream Build’ with ‘Rowdy Camry’ so that was amazing,” Busch said of another unique fundraising effort. “So, we’ve had that extra money to go out and help.”

“We focus not on giving kids the necessities but giving them the fun stuff that they miss out on,” Busch continued. “That’s where the money goes because we focus on allowing the kids to be kids.”

“The biggest thing when people ask what to do is for people to send gift cards,” Busch said. “This past Christmas, we bought 400 individual Christmas gifts for kids with the gift cards.”

Samantha Busch has been especially grateful for all that the fans have done to support the work of the Kyle Busch Foundation for children in need.

“We’ve done well with the fans support,” Busch said. “It’s really humbling.”

“On our fan club day, one guy came in and gave us his whole paycheck for the day,” Busch continued. “We’ve had little kids come in and give us our allowances and you hate to take it but it’s so sweet.”

“Our Foundation has thrived through fan support and word of mouth,” Busch said. “When they see the kinds of things we do for kids, they want to keep helping.”

With all of her passions, whether food, fitness, fashion or philanthropy, the one thing that keeps Samantha Busch grounded is her love of family, especially now that her parents have moved closer. And of course, she has her eyes on a family of her own, someday down the road.

“It’s great having my mom and dad close to us,” Busch said. “They are huge helps which has freed up more time for me to do more of the Foundation work and more blogs and videos.”

“I don’t know how I did it before,” Busch continued. “They’re always doing something.”

“So between my mom and I we’re really OCD so everything is all lined-up and color-coded,” Busch said. “Kyle comes home and he’s like “Whoa, what went on here?”

“When he goes out of town, my mom spends the night with me and we organize some part of the house,” Busch continued. “We’re kind of weird like that.”

So, what about that question of when the stork will be bringing a little Busch to Kyle and Samantha?

“Yes, everybody’s big question is when we’re going to have kids,” Samantha Busch admitted. “One day.”

“We always talk about it but we haven’t decided,” Busch continued. “But when we do, I’m not going to say anything either.”

“We both really want kids,” Busch said. “I love kids.”

“We want to have our own kids obviously but we also talk about adopting,” Busch continued. “I think that would be amazing.”

“My dad came from Italy and grew up in a very poor town,” Busch said. “So, it would be really cool to go back there and adopt from there.”

Until that time, however, Samantha Busch will continue to focus on her love of food, fitness, fashion and philanthropy. And she loves being busy every minute.

“I like having stuff to do,” Busch said. “KBM is expanding so that keeps me busy.”

“Last year, we got a new house so we’re just about done with the redecorating,” Busch continued. “We love traveling, going late model racing, and being with family.”

“We love to just keep going along.”

Tires the Tale in Kentucky

By
SM Staff
-

In a sport where there are many ways to win and lose a race, there seemed to be one common factor at the Kentucky Speedway on Sunday.

It was a factor that ended the day of a few of the race favorites in the Quaker State 400, ending their day harder than others. And for Matt Kenseth and the No. 20 Dollar General team, it was the one factor they didn’t think was going to get them to Victory Lane.

Tires, oh tires what those Goodyear’s will do.

Early in the going Denny Hamlin suffered his first of what would be two tire failures on the day. While running fifth he cut down a right front and had to make an unscheduled pit stop on lap 36. As Hamlin was headed for the pits on the exit road, the carcass of his tire came off the No. 11 and rolled back onto the racetrack.

Right into oncoming traffic of the leaders, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. The Hendrick Motorsports teammates got the worst of it, the tire bouncing off the front of Earnhardt Jr.’s car then hitting the front of Johnson’s. Both suffered damage but while Johnson was able to go on and dominate the race, Earnhardt Jr. faded for the rest of the day and fought for a 12th place finish.

“You just fix it and keep going. The guys did a god job on pit road all day long working on it and trying to fix everything,” Earnhardt Jr. said afterwards. “I’m not sure we got everything back where it is supposed to be, but we did well enough to get a decent finish out of it.

“Just proud of how hard the team worked … Can’t do anything about what happened out there on the race track with that casing. They worked hard on it to get it right, and get it good enough where we could run well. So, they deserve a lot of the credit today.”

After the race when Earnhardt Jr. had pulled into the garage, his helmet wasn’t even off as he quickly jumped out of his machine to survey the damage. Thinking it had been a lot worse when it happened than it actually was, with crew chief Steve Letarte chalking the whole thing up to bad luck for the pole-winning car.

The bad luck bug wasn’t done however, as it struck Hamlin again on lap 147. Trying to salvage his season, Hamlin was running in the top 10 again. Looking for top fives and wins, in hopes of somehow managing to make his way into the Chase. Blowing another right front tire isn’t going to help his cause.

Hamlin hit the wall hard in turn four, banging his knee and telling TNT after being released from the infield care center that he had gotten his bell rung. Many were concerned when it was reported that Hamlin might have been injured during the wreck, but he made it known that he was doing fine.

“I felt pretty good about the way we were racing today. We were with the right track position, we could run with everybody except for maybe the 48 [Johnson],” Hamlin said of his day and chances for the Chase moving forward.

“We’re just trying to win races and that’s what my job is for the rest of the year is to try to win and do the best I can for my sponsors and my team. Really the biggest thing I was pushing for was to get my team into the Chase. Had an opportunity owner’s points wise to get into the Chase and this is obviously another hit.”

The 35th place finish leaves Hamlin 25th in points. He and car owner Joe Gibbs were adamant as well that he would continue racing for the remainder of the season, and not step out of the car to avoid further injury.

And so as tires continued to be the downfall for others, Johnson was dominating. No worse for the wear after the damage he suffered from Hamlin’s errant tire carcass, Johnson led a race high 182 of the scheduled 267 laps. No matter who the competition was behind the Lowe’s Chevrolet, there was no catching him on this day.

Until everything changed, as it always does, when a caution came out with less than 25 laps to go. The leaders came down pit road for the final stop, Johnson’s team giving him two fresh tires as they had for much of the event. Except this time, he wasn’t first off pit road as the eventual winner, Kenseth, took fuel and no tires to grab the spot.

The restart with 21 laps to go put Kenseth in the lead with no tires, Johnson and many of the other leaders on two tires. That would be the last time Johnson saw the leaders as he spun in turn one after the restart, getting loose all on his own. Receiving four tires from his team on a subsequent caution, Johnson made a mad dash through the field and finished an incredible ninth.

But it wasn’t the two tires, no tires call that had him upset. Johnson screamed over the radio repeatedly that Kenseth had slowed down the restart and stacked the field up, causing him to spin and lose his shot at the win. Calling for Kenseth to be penalized, Johnson was left to take him lumps and move on. He later told reporters that Kenseth broke pace car speed, which drivers aren’t supposed to do, but something NASCAR isn’t calling penalties on.

Holding off the rest of the field on a final restart, Kenseth took his old tires to Victory Lane – saying he was confused on why Johnson would be upset – for the fourth time in 2013, the first at Kentucky. He now leads the series in wins and with seeding would be the leader when the Chase started.

“I didn’t roll the dice, Jason [Ratcliff, crew chief] did. I thought he was slightly crazy when that happened,” said Kenseth in Victory Lane on his team’s gutsy tire call.

“I didn’t think there was any way that we were going to hold on for that win. He made the right call at the right time and those guys got it done.”

Tires, oh tires what that rubber can do.

Kenseth Wins Delayed Quaker State 400

By

Matt Kenseth’s crew chief, Jason Ratcliff gambled late in the Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway and took no tires and only fuel when the caution came out on lap 240 of 267. Jimmie Johnson, the dominant car of the day, had taken two tires and was lined up behind Kenseth. After the restart on lap 247 Johnson uncharacteristically spun out in front of the entire field bringing out the caution for the last time.

When the field went back to green Kenseth held off a hard charging Jamie McMurray who finished second. Clint Bowyer finished third, Joey Logano fourth and Kyle Busch fifth. Brother Kurt Busch finished sixth.

The fireworks started early when Kurt Busch made a dive bomb move under last year’s winner, Brad Keselowski, slid up the track and sent Keselowski up the track and in front of traffic. Keselowski’s car pin-balled across the track and into multiple cars bringing out the red flag for crews to clean up the mess. Greg Biffle was collected as was Dave Blaney and others. Keselowski said, “I know he didn’t intentionally wreck me, but it’s just one of those things. A chain of events with the way the cars drive, and the track has that really bad bump down there, and we all know it. There’s no reason to go down there, but he still did.”  With the wreck happening only 47 laps into the race he said, “We were trying to get patient, because it looks like we’ll get the whole race in before rain, and there’s no reason to drive like an animal. Apparently, I’m the only one that got that memo.”\

 

Kenseth said about the gamble and his part in that gamble, “I didn’t roll the dice, Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) did.  I thought he was slightly crazy when that happened.  First of all, I just have to thank the Lord for putting me here… this is such a great team and great opportunity for me.  It’s just been an unbelievable season and year of my life honestly.   Jason did a great job — I didn’t think there was any way that we were going to hold on for that win.  He made the right call at the right time and those guys got it done.”

Ratcliff said, “I kind of knew that if we could get Matt (Kenseth) position that he would make a good fight out of it and he obviously did.  We got a couple good restarts there.”

In the first day of the two-day Don Biederman Memorial weekend, it’d be Dwayne Baker picking up the victory in his No. 48 Zancor Homes, Innisfil Machine and Welding and Baker Performance Parts Super Late Model. It marks his first win this season in two starts this year.

Baker would start off the night strong as he was the quickest in time trials, timing in at a 13.503.

Rookie Kevin Cornelius would time in second quick behind the wheel of his No. 17 Halton Crushed Stone, Lee Sand and Gravel, Alliston Transmission and McColl Racing Super Late Model at 13.54.

Four-time series champion Glenn Watson was third fastest at 13.56 behind the wheel of his No. 22 Line-X Protective Coatings – Barrie, Race2Way.ca, Rival Office Solutions and Williamson Uxbridge GM Late Model.

As pertaining to the format, each driver would start pole in their respective heats with the rest of the heat starting spots determined on qualifying effort. The front row would be locked in with Baker and Cornelius, however the rest would of the field would depend on how the drivers did in their heats.

George Wilson would win the first heat behind the wheel of his No. 77 Marollo Race Engines, Union Cab of Sault Ste. Marie, Let the Fur Fly Pet Salon of Barrie and City Centre Motors of Sault Ste. Marie Super Late Model. Baker would finish second, followed by John Owen, Mike Beyore, Gary Passer and Jim Bowman.

Brandon Watson would win the second heat behind the wheel of his No. 9 The Smart Exchange – Propane Cylinder Exchange, Ken MacKinnon Construction, Barrie Frame & Alignment, and Knightworks Design Super Late Model. Cornelius would finish second, followed by Andrew Gresel, Ethan Cournyea and Tyler Hawn.

During the pace laps of the third heat, Sean Cronan would have to pull off due to a flat tire. Derrike Tiemersma would take the win behind the wheel of the No. 7 Wayfreight, Speedy Auto Machine, Castrol and Spira Fire Protection Super Late Model. Glenn Watson would finish second, followed by Shane Maginnis, Charlie Gallant and Ian Bourque.

Quinn Misener would spin on lap to of the final heat. Jeff Hanley would grab the win in his No. 70 Raylene Racing Inc and Carmen Auto Sales Super Late Model. Rob Poole would finish second, followed by J.R. Fitzpatrick, Brad Corcoran, Brandon Vanderwel and Misener.

Everybody who had yet to qualify for the A-Main would be forced to run one of the two b-features. OSCAAR would take the top four from each b-feature to continue to make up the a-feature line-up.

The first heat b-main would go to Mike Beyore in his No. 54 Stemac New & Used Machinery Industrial Tools, CNC Custom Machining & Fabricating, Inc. Oshawa, Millennium Crane Service and Metals Plus (Oshawa-Whitby) Super Late Model. Campbell would finish second, followed by Hawn, Passer and Cournyea.

The second b-main would have an incident as Misener would spin Vanderwel on lap seven. Charlie Gallant grabbed the win in the No. 40P South Shore Services, Just Lube, East Point Marina and Pefferlaw Lawn Care & Ice Super Late Model. Corcoran would finish second, followed by Cronan, Vanderwel, Cournyea and Shane Gowan.

In the feature, it’d be Dwayne Baker starting on pole, followed by Kevin Cornelius, George Wilson, Derrike Tiemersma, Brandon Watson, Rob Poole, John Owen, Jeff Hanley, Glenn Watson, Shane Maginnis, J.R. Fitzpatrick, Mike Beyore, Todd Campbell, Brad Corcoran, Tyler Hawn, Charlie Gallant, Sean Cronan, Andrew Gresel, Gary Passer, Brandon Vanderwel, Shane Gowan, Jim Bowman and Quinn Misener.

Before the start of the race, Vanderwel would pull his car behind the wall with problems. Fitzpatrick would have the left rear tire fall off, but would get it back on and be able to start the feature. Lastly, Bowman and Cronan would head down pit road under the pace laps, returning to the track before the green.

Once the green fell, Dwayne Baker would grab the lead ahead of Cornelius while Brandon Watson and George Wilson ran side-by-side for the third. Watson would clear Wilson for third on lap two, with Tiemersma and Hanley ran side-by-side for fifth. Bowman would head down pit road on lap four with a problem. On lap seven, Tiemesma would pass Hanley while Gowan would pit under green on lap 10.

The first caution would fly on lap 17 when Maginnis and Owen would get together. Under the caution, Beyore, Fitzpatrick and Corcoran would pit. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick would be done for the night as smoke was coming from his machine. So with 33 laps to go, it’d be Baker leading Cornelius, Brandon Watson, Wilson, Tiemersma, Hanley, Glenn Watson, Gresel, Poole, Gallant, Cronan, Campbell, Passer and Hawn.

On the restart, Baker would once again pull ahead of Cornelius while Wilson and Brandon Watson battled once again for third. Wilson would pass Watson on lap 21 as the caution came out for Cronan spinning. He had received damage on the restart after contact with a couple other cars. With 29 laps to go, it’d be Baker leading Cornelius, Wilson, Brandon Watson, Hanley, Tiemersma, Glenn Watson, Gresel, Poole, Campbell, Gallant, Maginnis, Hawn, Passer, Corcoran, Beyore, Cronan, Misener and Bowman.

On the restart, Wilson would make it three-wide for the lead, diving underneath Baker and Cornelius going into turn one. Coming off the corner, it’d be Cornelius grabbing the lead ahead of Wilson and Baker.  Baker would pass Wilson for second on lap 25, followed by a pass on Cornelius on lap 26 off of turn two to go back to the lead. The third caution would fly on lap 31 for Cronan and Misener going around off of turn four.

On the restart, Baker would once again retain the lead ahead of Cornelius, Wilson, Brandon Watson and Glenn Watson. Tiemerma would look to pass Glenn Watson on lap 35, though Watson was able to hold him off. The fourth caution would then fly on lap 37 for Mike Beyore hitting the inside turn two wall. With 13 laps to go, Baker would lead Cornelius, Wilson, Brandon Watson, Glenn Watson, Tiemersma, Campbell, Gresel, Poole, Gallant, Maginnis, Hawn, Passer, Corcoran and Cronan.

On the restart, Baker would once again grab the lead ahead of Cornelius while Wilson and Brandon Watson battled for third. Watson would pass Wilson on lap 39. Gresel would slip past Tiemersma for sixth and try to pass Glenn Watson for fifth, but wasn’t able to.

Back at the front on lap 42, Brandon Watson would get underneath Cornelius for second, though Watson would get loose causing him to slip back. The caution would then fly three laps later for Glenn Watson spinning Wilson in turn two. With five laps to go, it’d be Baker leading Cornelius, Brandon Watson, Gresel, Tiemersma, Campbell, Poole, Gallant, Maginnis, Hanley, Hawn, Cronan, Passer, Corcoran, Wilson, Glenn Watson.

On the restart, Baker would once again grab the lead, though the caution would fly once again as Hanley would make contact with Gallant, causing Gallant to make hard contact with the front stretch wall. Under caution, Passer would pull his car behind the wall and be done.

On the restart, Baker once again grabbed the lead while Brandon Watson got underneath Cornelius for second. Then, Gresel would get to the outside off of turn two, making it a three-wide battle. Contact would be made, causing Gresel to make contact with the outside wall while Cornelius was able to pull ahead of Watson. Everybody would keep going, able to complete the final laps of the feature.

Dwayne Baker would pick up his first feature victory of the year, ahead of Kevin Cornelius, Brandon Watson, Andrew Gresel and Derrike Tiemersma.

Rob Poole would finish sixth, followed by Shane Maginnis, Sean Cronan, Glenn Watson and Todd Campbell.

Tyler Hawn finished 11th, followed by Jeff Hanley, George Wilson and Brad Corcoran.

The OSCAAR Super Late Models will take to Sunset Speedway on June 30th for day two of the Don Biederman Memorial. Whoever has the best average finish between the two days will be crowned the Don Biederman Memorial Champion. There is an autograph session at 5:45pm, with racing starting at 6:30pm.
