PETERBOROUGH, Ontario — In a historic night for the Overkill Enterprise OSCAAR Modifieds as they ran their 150th series race, a driver was able to write a page of his own in the record book.
Matt Haufe became the 36th different feature winner with the modifieds in scoring his first career series victory at Peterborough Speedway on Saturday, July 25.
The Legend standout showed speed throughout both rounds of qualifying, setting him up to take The Car Guy Auto Service green flag from third for the feature. He found his way to second off the drop of the green flag. He would inherit the lead when an incident happened ahead of him just past the halfway mark of the feature. Haufe then held off a hard-charging couple competitors behind him en route to visiting Scott Reinhart Trailer Sales Ltd victory lane.
Rick Burbridge’s rookie season in the modifieds continued in stellar fashion with his third podium finish in a row with a runner-up ahead of past Peterborough Speedway winner Wally Wilson. Steve Trendell showed the same speed that led him to take home the EPIC Racewear checkered flag last season with a fourth as Bryan Batty completed the top-five.
Jason Keen was sixth ahead of Max Beyore and Eric McLean. Beyore led the first half of the feature from the pole before tangling with McLean as he tried to lap him. Norman Newman, who was filling in for Dale Reinhart, was ninth in front of Brent McLean.
Daryl Henwood showed speed with a heat win, but mechanical issues ended his feature early. Amanda Balson’s return to the track since her wreck during practice at Sauble Speedway saw her fight through mechanical issues throughout the night en route to 12th ahead of Josh Gruntz.
Heat wins went to Bryan Batty, Max Beyore, Daryl Henwood, and Steve Trendell.
The Overkill Enterprise OSCAAR Modifieds are back on-track on Saturday, August 22 at Full Throttle Motor Speedway.
