CASCAR PowerWater Sportsman Series
Race #6: Kawartha Speedway // Summary & Results


Hathaway wins in PowerWater Series return while Dion Verhoeven clinches his 
first CASCAR Sportsman championship
PETERBOROUGH, ON - Prior to Sunday afternoon's CASCAR PowerWater Series 
season finale at Kawartha Speedway, it had been a full year since Jason 
Hathaway had participated in a CASCAR Sportsman Series race. The Appin, ON 
racer showed he hadn't lost his touch as he led all 100 laps on Sunday, 
making it two straight wins at the 3/8-mile Peterborough-area oval.
         Hathaway's Fordham Motors / TSC Stores Chevy started on the 
outside of the front row in the 25-car field and charged to the lead almost 
immediately. After that, the talented youngster  who raced this season in 
the weekly division at Delaware Speedway near London, ON  maintained the 
lead through five restarts and came home more than a second in front of 
four-time Sportsman Series champ Steve Robblee, of Dorchester, ON.
         The final podium position at Kawartha went to Dion Verhoeven, 
driver of the McRoberts Fuels Chevy. The result earned the Kenwood, ON 
racer his first CASCAR Sportsman Series championship. Verhoeven was solid 
throughout the six-race schedule, earning a pair of pole positions and one 
race victory (on Aug. 13 at Barrie Speedway) en route to the title.
         Second-place in the championship chase was a tie between 2004 
PowerWater Series champ Brad Graham (HB Material Handling Dodge) and 
Robblee (Grogan Ford). They each accumulated 475 points, which was 25 
markers less than Verhoeven (500).
         Ron Lethbridge (Fuel Genie Dodge) started fourth at Kawartha but 
was involved in an incident that left him 21st at the finish. Nonetheless, 
Lethbridge was honoured, after the race, for being the top rookie on the 
CASCAR Sportsman Tour in '05.
