Dale Reinhart Dominates OSCAAR Modified Season Opener at Sauble Speedway

SAUBLE BEACH, Ontario — Taking the lead on Lap 13, Dale Reinhart did not look back en route to scoring the victory in the Overkill Enterprise OSCAAR Modified season opener at Sauble Speedway on Saturday, June 13.

A solid qualifying effort saw Reinhart take The Car Guy green flag in the fourth position, ready to make his way forward right away. He moved into the runner-up spot off the start, before making his way by Steve Trendell on Lap 13 to take over the lead. He then led the rest of the 40-lap feature to complete the night in Scott Reinhart Trailer Sales Ltd victory lane.

Bryan Batty made his way through the field, using a couple late-race restarts to his advantage for a runner-up finish. Rick Burbridge made the most of his series debut, running inside the top-three throughout the event en route to third. Last year’s series champion Steve Trendell and Wally Wilson rounded out the top-five.

Matt Haufe was solid in his series debut with a sixth ahead of Tyler Liscum, Eric McLean, Daryl Henwood, and Brent McLean. Notably, Eric and Henwood each went for a spin in the final 10 laps, while Brent was forced pit side with seven laps to go.

Heat race wins went to Dale Reinhart, Steve Trendell (x2), and Bryan Batty.

Jason Keen was in attendance, but suffered motor issues during the opening practice session ending his night early. Amanda Balson endured a hard crash during the second practice after her throttle hung going into the turn one. Although her car sustained heavy damage, she was okay.

The Overkill Enterprise OSCAAR Modifieds will be back in action at Delaware Speedway on Saturday, June 27, alongside The Fyre Place & Patio Shop OSCAAR Hot Rods presented by Bromley Automotive Ltd. The night will be presented by Lloyd’s Paving (Wyoming) Limited.
