“A top-fifteen is a good day racing against these guys,” said the Innisfil, Ontario driver. “The Central Merchant Services Team was great tonight, stopping for just fuel on the first pit stop and tires on the second.”
DJ Kennington won the Sun Valley Motor Speedway 300 lap event followed by Brad Graham in second and Don Thomson Jr. in third.

“The western swing was good to us, we were able to strengthen our lead on the rookie of the year championship and pick up three positions in the CASCAR Super Series Points Championship,” explained MacLeod.
