Dion Verhoeven wins CASCAR PowerWater Sportsman Series race at Barrie Speedway
BARRIE, ON - Dion Verhoeven won Saturday night's CASCAR PowerWater 
Sportsman Series race at Barrie Speedway. The driver of the McRobert Fuels 
Pontiac started third in the field of 23 for the fourth PowerWater Series 
race of the season and passed Brad Graham with five laps to go in the race.
         Graham, the defending champion of CASCAR's Sportsman Series, 
started on the pole for the 100-lap event and looked as though he was going 
to lead the entire race until contact between he and Verhoeven knocked him 
out of contention and down to a 10th-place finish. Graham's pole-winning 
qualifying effort of 14.366 seconds broke the overall CASCAR qualifying 
record at Barrie, which was set by Super Series driver Kerry Micks in early 
July.
         Second-place at Barrie went to multi-time PowerWater Series champ 
Steve Robblee, of Dorchester, ON. London, ON racer Mike Alguire took the 
final podium position in his Pontiac.
         The next outing for the PowerWater Sportsman Series takes place on 
Saturday, August 20 at Peterborough Speedway.
