OHSWEKEN, Ontario – Scott Kreutter scored his first win of the season with the Kool Kidz/Corr-Pak 360 Sprint Cars on Friday evening at Ohsweken Speedway.
Jim Huppunen and Kreutter started on the front row for the 20-lap Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car feature. The race was slowed quickly before the first lap was completed when Shane Ross slowed in turn one after losing a steering component.
On the restart, Kreutter raced to the point through turns three and four while brother Cory and Ryan Turner dueled for third and fourth, respectively.
At the halfway mark, seventh-starting Dylan Westbrook was able to get into third past Cory Turner and set out to track down Huppunen. It took him just three laps to track down the No.0 and get past Huppunen for second with seven laps remaining before a caution on lap 14 when Aaron Turkey rolled to a stop before the exit ramp in turn two.
The ensuing restart saw one lapped car between Kreutter and Westbrook up front. Kreutter was able to keep Jake Brown between himself and Westbrook for a lap and open a 1.2-second lead with five laps to go.
Westbrook did everything he could to try and reel in Kreutter amongst lapped traffic over the final two laps, but Kreutter held on for his first victory of the season with the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars.
Westbrook and Huppunen rounded out the podium. Ryan Turner and 21st-starting Mack DeMan completed the top-five.
Jesse McDonald won the Strickland’s GMC Crate Sprint Car feature, Trevor DeBoer was a winner in the Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks and Fabio Olivieri won the June 28 make-up feature for the HRW Automotive Mini Stocks before the regularly scheduled event was rained out.
