Action has been hot since the drop of this year’s green flag, creating a solid run for the 2019 title. Another exciting schedule for the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series – powered by Torque Builders Inc. and Gen3 Electrical – wraps-up Saturday, August 31^st as part of the Championship Clash at Peterborough Speedway. Spokesperson Randy Hollingsworth – who along with Rick Warnes and Bill Pickford make-up the OMRS group of officials – says its been a great season on the tour.

 

“Our drivers and teams have accomplished a lot and should be very proud of their efforts,” Hollingsworth said. “Just look at the overall standings heading into our final event of the year. The top 2 runners in the title hunt – John Baker Jr. and Chad Strawn – are just 7 points apart, while 16-year-old Alex Cuzzilla – who is in his first full season of open-wheeled modified racing – holds-down the 3^rd spot in the standings, less than 50 markers out of the lead.”

During the most recent action for the series, former champion John Baker Jr. swept a pair of main events at Flamboro Speedway; just as Chad Strawn had done earlier in the year. The pair has scored the most feature wins in 2019, with Baker Jr. collecting 4 checkered flags, including 2 in a row at Peterborough earlier this season. Just a single point stands between the 2 drivers heading into the Saturday night finale.

 

Family is an important component of all motorsports’ genre and the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series is no exception. Rob Warnes sits 4^th in the standings, less than 10 points ahead of his father, while Hollingsworth occupies 6^th position, a single marker ahead of his granddaughter, Willow Barberstock.

 

The Championship Clash, featuring the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series – Saturday, August 31^st at Peterborough Speedway – has the pit gates opening at 12:30, with general admission grandstands unlocked at 3:00 and racing at 5:00.
