CASCAR Castrol Super Series East Miller Lite 100 Toronto Molson Indy Buck wins Miller Lite 100 CASCAR race at Toronto Molson Indy TORONTO, ON - After years of trying, Robin Buck finally won a CASCAR Castrol Super Series race. The Oakville, ON driver has been a regular on the CASCAR stock car circuit for a couple of years but has only been close to victory lane until Saturday's Miller Late 100 at the Toronto Molson Indy. The former road racer was the class of the field during practice and qualifying for the event on the temporary street circuit and led all but two laps in his UAP/NAPA Pontiac Grand Prix en route to the win in CASCAR's biggest ever event. A pair of stock car 'regulars' battled it out for second place in the 35-car field. Barrie, ON racer Al Turner claimed second in his Blue Streak Dodge, while Bill Rowse Jr. was third in his Collision World / Choko Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
