We may be coming to the end of the dog days of summer, but the heat on the track has never been hotter. With championships on the line in every division and some of the tightest point racers we have ever seen, the question is not just who is going to win the championships, but who wants to be the champion bad enough. The Shriners sponsored there 50/50 once again for supporting children’s hospitals with a grand prize going to Daniel Scott from Peterborough.

Ryan Oosterholt(#79) from the Farm Bro Racing team kept the pressure on Tiffany(#88) to try to make her ride the high line, however that did not work out the way they had planned and used this to challenge Malcolm McDonald(#80) for the leader of the race. Rob Goss(#63) sat behind the four way battle for the lead, watching and waiting for someone to make a mistake so that he could jump right in. In the end Tiffany Vandebelt(#88) pulled ahead with Malcolm McDonald(#80) right behind her and Chris Mulders(#99) as a close third.
