INNISFIL, Ontario — While some got lucky on the beach, others have been working hard to fix their cars since. Either way, we know the entire Outlaw Midgets presented by Canadian Tire Innisfil field is excited to return to Sunset Speedway on Saturday, August 27.
Mike Bradley enters this weekend ranked fourth in the standings, and hopes to return to top-10 competition after crashing out at Sauble. He should be able to, having scored 18 top-five’s in the past 23 races. Notably, the success at Sunset on its own is strong, having scored six podiums in the last 10 Sunset Speedway appearances.
Larry Lawson also found himself on the sidelines at Sauble early, but still has only scored just nine finishes no worse than fourth in the last 13 series events. He enters this weekend ranked second in the standings, and hopes to find the same success which led him to a pair of podiums in the last five Sunset races.
Rob Harrison has been getting faster with each bit of experience behind the wheel, and it showed a career-best runner-up at Sauble Speedway. He was solid at Sunset a couple months ago, picking up a sixth-place finish.
Jamie Kay has had a rocky season to date, but enters this weekend with momentum following a fourth at Sauble. Notably, he scored a fifth at Fall Velocity last season.
Zach Millman hopes to turn his luck around, with the team feeling plagued by issues that have kept them from feature contention. If things are in order, he could be one to watch following a track-best seventh last season.
Kevin Spiez hopes to keep the momentum rolling following seven top-10’s in eight races, including a season-best third in the most recent event at Sauble Speedway. Notably, he has scored a top-10 in three of his four most recent Sunset Speedway appearances, including a fourth at Fall Velocity.
Jessica James arguably enters this weekend with the most momentum, having scored 10 victories in the last 12 races, including the past nine straight.
Mikey Homewood’s return to the tour has been solid, with five top-10’s in eight races, including a pair of those at Sunset.
Kayla has been getting faster since her debut in the series, as evident by a career-best sixth at Sauble Speedway. She was solid at Sunset in June, picking up a ninth-place finish.
Dan Kviring hopes to keep the string of recent success going, having scored five straight top-10 finishes.
Dave Inglis is also on the same page, with a top-10 performance in four of his five tour appearances. Notably, his season-best eighth came at Sunset in June.
Jason Metcalfe may be new to the tour, but do not take your eyes off of him following a fifth in his debut at Sauble Speedway.
Rob McCall is always someone to watch, as evident by a top-five in his last three series appearances. He knows how to get the job done in a midget, as a past feature winner, and was fourth at Sunset Speedway back in June.
Dan Bound has started off his Outlaw Midget career on a roll, scoring a top-five in each of his three appearances, including a runner-up at Sunset in June.
