standings, followed by Burford driver Jamie Collard, and a 5th place tie
between Grimsby’s Travis Cunningham, and opening night winner Kyle
Moffit of South Dayton, NY.

Saturday night, including 2008 Corr/Pak champ Keith Dempster, who was
awarded the feature win. Other Corr/Pak division regulars who made the
trip included Glenn Styres, Kyle Patrick, Jamie Collard, Bob Crawford,
Dain Naida, Mitch Brown, Chris Durand, Travis Cunningham, and John

June 17 for the first time since May 30, 2008, breaking Karl Sault’s win
streak in the process. Sault, of Dundas, won the first two features of
his Mini Stock career, and continues to hold the points lead after a 4th
place finish. Brantford’s Jake Brown is second in the standings,
followed by Evers, Smithville driver Mike Sarantakos, and Burlington’s
