INNISFIL, Ontario --- Keeping himself in contention for a solid finish, Cameron McGlashan would get caught up in a crash during the Velocity 250 feature at Sunset Speedway this past Sunday.

McGlashan started off the weekend by finishing ninth in his qualifying heats on Saturday afternoon.

Starting 14th for the 35-lap feature on Sunday, he escaped the early contact at the front of the field in the opening laps with no damage, breaking into the top-10 with just nine laps on the board; he'd remain there until the first caution came out on Lap 10. Restarting on the outside of row five, he'd look to continue moving forward. However on Lap 14, the rear tire would come off the No. 51 of Craig Kamrath ahead of McGlashan. It would leave McGlashan nowhere to go, as he made contact with the outside turn four wall, before being hit by a fellow competitor. Ultimately, the damage would end his race early.

INNISFIL, Ontario --- Battling up front all race long, Kevin Bridge left Sunset Speedway on Sunday afternoon with a podium finish in the Velocity 250 feature.

The two-time Sauble Speedway Champion picked up a third-place finish in the first heat, followed by a runner-up in the second qualifier.

Starting third for the 35-lap feature, he would grab the early advantage after the top-two cars got together, leading the field until the race's first caution at Lap 10. Restarting as the race leader, he'd battle side-by-side with 2018 Great Lakes Series Champion Warren Paxton, before falling in line in second. He'd remain there until the next caution came out for an incident off turn four on Lap 14. Restarting on the outside of the front row, he'd keep the runner-up spot until he was passed by 2018 Sunset Speedway Champion Daniel Montanari.

With the field strung out, Bridge was able to get by the lap cars with ease, managing the gap to those behind him en route to a third-place finish.

INNISFIL, Ontario --- Battling against the best drivers in the province, Travis McLean kicked off the 2018 short track playoffs with a top-15 finish at Sunset Speedway.

McLean started off the weekend by placing 11th in both of his qualifying heats.

Starting 19th for the 50-lap feature, he was able to stay with the pack despite going a lap down during the opening 34 lap run of the feature, before going around for a quick spin. Restarting deep in the field, he would get through the next four incidents cleanly without sustaining any damage. From there, he battled hard through the final eight laps of the feature to make up some ground, crossing the finish line with a 15th-place finish.

Semple was fast during qualifying, winning the first heat, followed by a sixth in the second qualifier.

Starting on pole for the feature, he immediately jumped out to the early lead, gaining a sizable gap over the field. With no cautions, it seemed he was on cruise control, maintaining a solid advantage until the race’s first yellow flag flew with 16 laps to go. Semple would get a good restart to maintain the advantage, though the second caution would come out just seven laps later. There’d be another two restarts, which were executed perfectly. Semple got a good third restart, set to maintain the lead, though contact from behind courtesy of another competitor would send the No. 64 spinning off of turn two with eight laps to go. Semple would ultimately be credited with a 20th-place finish.

INNISFIL, Ontario -- The 2018 season will end with Rick Spencer-Walt having a pair of championships to celebrate as he was crowned the 2018 Great Lakes Concrete Series Champion on Sunday at Sunset Speedway's Velocity 250.

The 2018 Sauble Speedway Champion started off the weekend by finishing sixth in the first heat, followed by a third in the second qualifier.

Starting 13th for the 75-lap feature, he would move into the top-10 in the opening 10 laps, and remained 10th until he would begin to slow on the 18th lap. Eventually rolling to a stop on Lap 19 after reporting "no gears" over the radio, he would be forced pit side for the rest of the feature with a mechanical issue. Forced to watch on the sidelines, the mathematical scenarios rolled through the mind over the course of the event.

Ultimately, a fifth-place finish from Jordan Lawrence saw the pair tie for the points lead. With the tiebreaker coming down to wins, Spencer-Walt was able to get the title as despite the final race ending in disappointment, the six-race mini series was full of success for the Eldon Wellis-owned team with three victories, a runner-up, a fourth, and the 19th in the Velocity 250. Notably, Spencer-Walt picked up eight wins and 19 top-fives in his last 21 races at Sauble Speedway and Sunset Speedway, combined.

"This caps her off for sure," Rick Spencer-Walt said afterwards. "We're going to go to Jukasa and see if we can a win there. I got to thank Nick (Goetz) for putting the money up and this series together for us to run. He's got three of the best cars in the province around. Lawrence gave me a run - good for that kid as he's a rookie. I didn't think he'd run like he did, but man that kid is a beast. He's going to be someone to deal with for years."

With the titles locked up, the team has fixed the No. 31 Late Model and will be looking to add another victory to the list this weekend with a win at Jukasa Motor Speedway's Fall Brawl.

INNSFIL, Ontario --- Since 50 laps - well 48, but we'll get to that - in the OSCAAR Modified wasn't enough, Wally Wilson performed double duty in running the Outlaw Midget event as well. Ultimately, he was able to leave Sunset Speedway with a top-10 finish.

Wilson would start off the weekend by finishing eighth in his first heat, followed by a sixth in the second qualifier. With 29 cars on the property, a b-main was run to set the back end of the field and determine who would not make the show. Unfortunately, Wilson was forced to run the event, in which he scored an eighth-place finish. While it wasn't enough to lock him into the show, he was one of two drivers allowed to transfer to the main event via points provisional.

Starting on the last row of the 24-car field,  he would move up two spots to 22nd by the halfway mark of the feature, followed by another spot as he avoided an incident in turn four with 20 laps to go. He would crack the top-20 following the fifth caution with five laps to go. Unfortunately, his feature would come to an early conclusion as he was forced to the pits with two laps to go as a result of a mechanical failure. He was credited with a 19th-place finish.

Behind the wheel of his No. 69 Outlaw Midget, Wilson finished fifth in both of his qualifying heats, allowing him to start fourth for the feature. Although he faded back in the early stages, he'd continue fighting hard throughout the 25-lap feature en route to an eighth-place finish.

Wilson will be back behind the wheel of the No. 69 OSCAAR Modified on Saturday, September 28 at Flamboro Speedway as part of Frostoberfest.

INNISFIL, Ontario --- A.J Emms would battle hard throughout the 50-lap OSCAAR Modified Velocity 250 feature at Sunset Speedway en route to a top-10 finish.

Emms started off the weekend by placing seventh in the first heat, followed by a runner-up in the second qualifier.

Starting 13th for the feature on Sunday, he would escape the first two incidents without any contact, allowing him to move up to 12th by the second caution at Lap 3. Restarting just outside of the top-10, he'd battle for 11th with Jeff Showler, taking the spot, remaining there until the next caution flew at the halfway mark. Restarting once again just outside of the top-10 with 26 laps to go, he would avoid a multi-car incident in turn four to move up into the top-10. Restarting ninth with 20 laps to go, he'd battle for eighth with Luke Gignac, but was unable to complete the pass, instead falling back to 10th. He'd remain there until the fifth caution at Lap 45, which he'd miss the spinning car to move up a spot to ninth. He'd battle hard through the final restarts to maintain the track position, finishing the race in ninth.

As previously announced, the next modified event for Emms Racing will be the Autumn Colours Classic, something that has Emms very ecstatic for based on his victory there two years ago and a runner-up at Peterborough in August.

INNISFIL, Ontario --- Starting mid-pack, Luke Gignac made his way forward during the 50-lap OSCAAR Modified Velocity 250 feature for his sixth consecutive top-six finish.

Gignac started off the weekend by placing third in his first heat, followed by a fifth in the second qualifier.

Starting 11th for the feature, he would crack the top-10 in the first two laps, running ninth under the second caution. He would get a good restart, moving into eighth on Lap 8. He would fall back spot under the long green flag run, but escaped a spin by another competitor to move back up to eighth at the halfway mark. Restarting in the outside lane, he'd hold off a couple challenges for the eighth position, missing another spin at Lap 45 to move up two spots to sixth. Restarting just outside of the top-five, he'd jump up to fifth on the restart, but the caution came back out for another driver having a mechanical issue. He'd battle tough on the restart, ultimately crossing the finish line in sixth.

Emms.

“To win at the Velocity would really mean a lot to our whole team being that it’s both a big event and a home track for our team,” he said. “With the luck we’ve had this season, we’ve only run a part time bases which has made us even hungrier for wins. We’re going to do everything in our power to have a strong run.”

Knowing that it will be a long race with 40 laps being the distance, Emms says his plan is to run as hard as he can all race long.

“We need to start near the front, exercise patience, and stay out of trouble to be there at the end,” he added.

So far this season, Emms Racing has been successful with top-five finishes in each of their appearances this season, highlighted by a pair of runner-ups at Jukasa Motor Speedway.

The confidence entering this weekend also comes from a top-five in his most recent Sunset Speedway appearance.

“Having a lot of laps at sunset is definitely an advantage and helps our teams confidence heading into this weekend,” he said. “We’re excited to get out onto the track.”

The team is also pleased to announce that they will be competing at Autumn Colours Classic in the OSCAAR Modified, something that has the driver of the No. 14 very ecstatic for based on his victory there two years ago and a runner-up at Peterborough in August.
