BROCKVILLE, Ontario – Chris Raabe earned his third victory of the season, winning the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature at Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday.
Madison Mulder led the early laps of the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature over Kalen Draper, Jeremy LaSalle, Chris Herbison and Kyle Dingwall. The track was fast on this night as Mulder stabilized the lead at around 4 car lengths, but Draper was on the move as he closed in on the leader.
After the halfway mark of the event, defending track champion Ryan Arbuthnot had moved to the third spot as the field entered into lapped traffic.
Arbuthnot was able to clear Draper after a great battle, then set sail after the leader. On lap 20 Arbuthnot would tangle with a lapped car and make contact with an infield tire, breaking the front end, which forced him to the pits.
The green would fly and this time Kalen Draper would take the top spot over Mulder, with Raabe getting into the mix, over Dingwall and Johnathon Ferguson.
Draper held a slight lead and found himself under attack from Dingwall and Raabe with five laps to go. Dingwall tried a move on the high lane in turn four, which did not work, however one lap later Raabe would drive by for second and go to work for the lead. Coming to the white flag Raabe would drive by the rookie driver and take the lead.
From there, Raabe would pull away. Draper would finish a career best second over Dingwall, Ferguson and Lance Willix.
Bobby Herrington won the 25-lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature.
After three years of trying, Holly Denard won in the Novice Sportsman division.
Kraig Handley would drive away in the final laps to score his first street stock win.
The 15-lap 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Cars went to Matt Billings.
