MILLGROVE, Ontario — Battling up front in all three features, Kyle Steckly came out with the best average finish at the end of the night to score the Grisdale Triple Crown victory on Sunday night at Flamboro Speedway’s Frostoberfest.

Laying down the second quickest lap in time trials, the second generation racer was able to parlay it into finishing second. He then made his way through the traffic in the second 50-lap feature to take the lead just past the halfway mark, fending off a late-charge by Lane Zardo for the victory. Another inverted start for the third feature did not faze Steckly, as he once again made his way forward up to second quickly. He would put his No. 22 Late Model on the bumper of Fitzpatrick and offered a couple bumps, but was unable to find his way by en route to the runner-up.

Rookie Chase Pinsonneault was equally impressive, finding himself second in the overall standings. The driver of the No. 22P parlayed a seventh-place qualifying effort into a runner-up in the first feature. He showed his ability to get through traffic, placing third in the pair of features that followed.

Past track champion J.R. Fitzpatrick wound up third in the overall standings, but you would not have guessed that based on how his day started. Behind the wheel of the No. 55 Howse Racing entry he drove to this year’s track championship, he had the throttle hang going into turn three, resulting in significant contact with the outside wall.

He made the trip home and got the No. 84 Late Model to which he drove to the NTN Triple Crown Award in the APC Auto Parts Series, making a couple quick adjustments before laying down the quickest lap in time trials at 15.065 seconds. Unfortunately, the handling being slightly off saw Fitzpatrick fade back in the early stages of the first 50 lap feature en route to placing fourth. He had hoped for a better performance in the second feature, but a spin after getting loose off of turn four relegated him to seventh in the finishing order. The invert allowed him to start on the front row for the third feature, with Fitzpatrick pacing all 50 laps en route to winning the feature.

Lane Zardo drove his brother Billy Zardo’s late model to a pair of top-five’s for fourth overall ahead of Rick Burbridge. Jake Gilbert was sixth overall in front of Tom Gibbons, Cory Luciano, Blair Wickett, and David Gallinger. Unfortunately, both Luciano and Wickett had wrecked racecars at the end of the event due to contact on-track.

Cole Quinton was 11^th overall, followed by Paul Maltese, Billy Schwartzenburg, Jonah Bell, Steve Laking, Gary Elliott, and Kevin Albers. Shawn Chenoweth was disqualified for an altercation in the pits.
