Shawn McGlynn wins Saturday's CASCAR Sportsman Series race at Barrie Speedway
BARRIE, ON - On Saturday night at Barrie Speedway, Shawn McGlynn earned his
second career CASCAR Sportsman Series victory. The Kitchener, ON racer
started on the pole for the 100-lap feature race and led all but one lap en
route to the checkered flag.
The event was the third Sportsman Series race of the season, and
the second of the summer at the 1/3-mile Barrie-area tri-oval. And as was
the case for the July 2 race at Barrie Speedway, the winner was hounded
throughout by defending Sportsman Series champion Dion Verhoeven, who went
on to finish second after a spirited challenge.
Hometown favourite Ron Lethbridge set the fastest lap of the race
in his Cash Advance / Fuel Genie Dodge and earned the third and final
podium position. In the end, the top five finishers came home in the
positions they had started the race, although the running order was
scrambled throughout.
McGlynn earned the pole position by posting a time of 14.255
seconds during qualifying. The effort was a new Barrie track record for the
CASCAR Sportsman Series. Near the two-thirds point of the race, with
Verhoeven all over leader McGlynn, the pair got together in turns 2 and
again in turn 4.
As the lead duo struggled to regain control, Verhoeven's McRoberts
Pontiac crossed the start/finish line ahead of McGlynn's Ford. But the lead
was short-lived and McGlynn quickly reclaimed the top spot and he went on
to take the checkered flag 1.073 seconds in front of Verhoeven. Eastern
Ontario racers Dave Connelly and Steve Munro came home behind Lethbridge,
all on the lead lap, to complete the top five finishers.
The next race for the CASCAR Sportsman Series takes place
Saturday, Sept. 2 at Cayuga Speedway Park, as part of the Labour Day
Classic Weekend.
