MILLGROVE, Ontario — Leading all 46 laps of the Bill Zardo Memorial, Tyler Hawn won the opening feature of the season for the JRS Auctions OSCAAR Hot Rods at Flamboro Speedway.

The past series multi-time champion showed speed in qualifying with finishes of first and second, setting him up to start on the front row for the 46-lap feature. He wasted no time putting the No. 2 Monte Carlo out in front of the field, stretching his advantage over the field. He then drove away on the pair of restarts to score the win and visit McColl Racing Enterprises victory lane.

Rob Bromley made the move on Lap 11 to move into second, and held off a hard-charge from Kenny McNicol behind him in the closing laps for a podium finish. Inaugural Event winner Cole Weber and past series champion Steve Book round out the top-five..

Trevor Thompson was fast once again with a sixth ahead of Steve Ecker and Dave Evison Sr.

Several drivers suffered mechanical failures throughout as David Rockwood’s debut of the Trans-Am saw him place ninth after falling out of the event on Lap 23. McCaw blew a motor on Lap 20 to place 10th, with Connor Ellis and Travis Farrow getting into the turn one wall in the process.

Ryan Cowan suffered a motor failure on Lap 10 to place 13th, with Hailey McNicol and Thomas Wunsch both failing to take the green flag.

Heat victories presented by Bromley Automotive went to Kenny McNicol, Tyler Hawn, Rob Bromley, and Steve McCaw.

The JRS Auctions OSCAAR Hot Rods are back in action on June 15 at Sauble Speedway with the night presented by The Fyre Place & Patio Shop. They will be joined by the Just Foam It OSCAAR Modifieds and Sauble’s own bone stock division.
