Delaware, ON -- The CASCOR Winter Late Model series headed north of the border last Tuesday night, when they invaded the Delaware Speedway in Delaware, ON Canada.
Canadian drivers Justin Collison and Mike Husby made up the front row and led the field down to the green flag.
The first seven laps went caution free before the #92 of Kyle Young spun out in turn three, bringing the caution out for the first time of the night. Most of the field came down pit road under this caution, while Mike Husby and Justin Collison opted to stay out.
Collison and Husby once again led the field back to the green flag. Cool temperatures kept the drivers busy at the wheel, as most of them were slipping and sliding around the track all night.
Brent Sweet went into the spin cycle off of turn 4, bringing out the second caution of the night. All of the leaders came down pit road under this caution period for four tires.
Once again Collison and Husby led the field back to the green flag on lap 42. Ten laps later another caution flew when Wesley Hoag and Charli Brown got together off of turn 4, bringing out the third caution of the night.
Two drivers (Matt Riley and Mike Husby) made their way down pit road under the caution and lined up 5th and 6th with what would be a three lap shootout to the finish.
This time Justin Collison and Brent Sweet led the field back to the green flag, with some crazy racing taking place in the final three laps. A wild moment came with just two laps to go, when Kyle Young got loose off of turn 2, making contact with Matt Riley that set off a four car wreck down the back straightaway.
Meanwhile Justin Collison would take the victory while the rest of the running order from 5th on back had to be reviewed. Brent Sweet took his first top 5 since December 6th, 2011 finishing 2nd, Charli Brown battled back to finish 3rd, Wesley Hoag 4th and Matt Riley rounded out the top 5. Mike Husby after getting involved in the big wreck on the back straight brought his car home 6th, Bertus De Jong finished 7th, Kyle Young 8th and Austin Penney rounded out the finishing order in 9th.
Tonight the CASCOR Winter Late Model series heads to the Evergreen Speedway, with Matt Riley having a shot at clinching the championship. If Riley finishes ahead of Mike Husby and Justin Collison tonight, he will clinch his first NR2k3 Championship and first at CASCOR. We at CASCOR wish you and Northern Motorsports luck in tonights race.
The drivers meeting will get underway at 8:05pm EST! Be there!
