Verhoeven wins CASCAR Sportsman Series opener at Mosport
BOWMANVILLE, ON - Dion Verhoeven opened his CASCAR Sportsman Series title 
defense with a win in Saturday night's season opener at Mosport Speedway. 
The Kerwood, ON resident started on the outside of the front row for the 
100-lap feature race at the half-mile oval and quickly moved into the lead.
         The McRoberts Pontiac Grand Prix driver survived an early 
challenge from polesitter Steve Munro of Carp, ON, and went on to lead 
every lap. Munro's Mattel Hot Wheels Chevy spun on lap 6 to bring out the 
first of three caution flags. Undeterred, the veteran racer fought back 
over the remainder of the race to take third-place at the finish.
         Second place in the opener went to London, ON racer Mike Alguire. 
The A-DOR Construction Pontiac driver came home eight seconds back of 
Verhoeven. A total of 13 drivers participated in the Mosport feature. Only 
the top three finishers completed all 100 laps.
         The next CASCAR Sportsman Series race is scheduled for Saturday, 
July 1 at Barrie Speedway as part of the MOPAR Canada Day Weekend at the 
newly resurfaced 1/3-mile tri-oval.
