MILLGROVE, Ontario --- Taking the lead on Lap 16, Andrew Ranger did not look back en route to winning the NASCAR Pinty’s Series MotoMaster Batteries 125 at Flamboro Speedway on Sunday afternoon.
Ranger, making his first trip to the 3/8-mile oval, was dominate all race long, consistently holding a steady advantage over his competition. While there were a couple challenges along the way through the 125 laps, none of them fazed him en route to victory.
“It was fun,” Ranger said afterwards. “My first time here at Flamboro, and to have a race like that is fantastic for the 51 car we’re racing. It’s been a tough season, but we finally got our first win tonight.”
The third different winner in three races for the Pinty’s Series at Flamboro certainly was glad to have the victory in hand, as it marks the first for Rick Ware Racing this season after a frustrating start to 2021. Despite being ranked third in the standings, he has placed outside of the top-15 in three of the seven races.
“The car was very good, very consistent, I was able to carry a lot of speed into the corner and everything was just perfect for tonight,” Ranger added. “D.J. (Kennington), my friend, was right behind me, he gave me a lot of pressure throughout the race.”
D.J. Kennington, who has made several starts at Flamboro behind the wheel of a late model including a trip to victory lane, scored a strong second-place finish after stalking Ranger closely through the final 30 laps.
Brett Taylor continued to grow his experience in the series, rounding out the podium in third, in front of Alex Taglani. As a result, Tagliani was able to leave Flamboro with an 11-point advantage over L.P. Dumoulin
Pete Shepherd rounded out the top-five, and that was a feat in itself. The driver of the No. 7 entry wrecked at the very beginning of practice as a result of a brake failure, resulting in Jacombs Racing having to unroll their back-up. Their effort did not go unnoticed, with the car being rolled onto the grid just moments before the green flag.
Brandon Watson placed sixth in his series debut, followed by Dumoulin and Alex Gunette. Guenette ran the Ontario Sportsman Series event the day before to gain experience, scoring a second-place finish to Todd Shepherd. His event did not start off well, either, as he went around for a quick spin off of turn two.
Pole sitter Treyten Lapcevich led the first 15 laps, before having a flat tire and stalling on the track in turns one and two. He was only able to rebound to finish ninth in front of Donald Theetge. Theetge did not have the race he wanted, either, backing into the turn three wall.
Malcolm Strachan finished 11th, followed by Brent Wheller, Shae Gemmell, Sam Fellows, Marc Antoine-Camirand, Larry Jackson, Dexter Stacey, and Kevin Lacroix. Notably, Gemmell entered confident after having scored past Late Model victories at Flamboro, and was up to third when he was forced pit side with an issue.
The NASCAR Pinty’s Series was scheduled to run a pair of 125-lap events at Flamboro Speedway, however the Qwick Wick 125 was rained out following persistent showers after the first event. NASCAR is still determining how they will go about making up the event this season.

MILLGROVE, Ontario --- The season may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean the memorable moments are ending for drivers and teams. Saturday night would see a driver score their first career victory, with his teammate close behind.
The Ontario Sportsman Series headlined the program, with a 50-lap affair in their second visit to the facility this season. Setting the quickest lap in time trials at 16.473, Todd Shepherd turned it into a dominating performance. He would lead all the laps after starting on the pole to score the victory.
Alex Gunette, who was running the event to gain experience for the next day’s NASCAR Pinty’s Series races, hounded Shepherd throughout the race, but was unable to find his way by en route to a runner-up to give Hryniuk/Hall Motorsports a one-two finish.
Local favourite Chad Corcoran scored a third, followed by Kevin Gallant and Kevin Trevellin. Chad McGlynn placed sixth, followed by Michael Hryniuk, Gord Bennett, Sam Fellows, and Brad Robinson. Mark Patrick and Brandon Patrick rounded out the field.
Ontario Legend Series
Taking the lead on an early race restart from the outside, and then holding off a challenge with five laps to go, Parker Traves would take home his victory, following up his Canadian Legends National win at Peterborough Speedway a couple weeks ago.
Cody Newell finished second, followed by Kevin Foisy, Joe Adams, and Hudson Nagy.
Kenny McNicol Jr. placed sixth, while Matt Haufe rebounded from a mid-race spin for a seventh. Cory Richardson followed in eighth, in front of Glen Morris, Cody Wilds, and Jennifer Hatch. Joe Sherman and Brandon Feeney failed to finish following contact on Lap 6, which saw Feeney catch some air.
Ontario Pro Challenge Series
Tim Norris continues his domination, scoring the feature victory in front of Bryan Stevanus, Mike Norris, Peter Hattin, and Larry Majuery. Steve Trendel and Emma Norris finished sixth and seventh, while Mike O’Connell and Rick Seeley failed to finish. Devon Reyment would fail to start the feature.
Before the feature event, the series did a special ceremony for Larry Majuery to celebrate his career.
Mini Stocks
Starting on the pole, Cole Quinton drove what he called the “hardest race of his life,” holding off a hard-charging Shawn Taylor who stalked him from the drop of the green flag. Gillian Hils finished third, followed by Tyler Lewis and Kaitlyn Wallace.
Mile Gilmour finished sixth, despite a mid-race slide through the infield grass after contact with Kyle Istead. Mike Hooper followed in seventh, followed by Mike Thomson, Dave Goodacre, Rick Robinson, and Istead.
Pure Stocks
Starting on the front row, Matt Young found his way quickly to the lead, thanks to three-wide pass. He then held off Wayde Thorne on a mid-race restart to score the victory in the feature. Reece Bourgeois avoided the chaos late for a third, while Roland Goodfellow crossed the finish line in fourth but was disqualified post-race. James Houghton rounded out the top-five on-track.
Mark Thorne came across the checkered in sixth, followed by Kris Lawrence and Bobby Mercer, despite Mercer getting dead sideways in front of Lawrence and Bourgeois in the final five laps. Scott Tonelli and Kyle Lucas rounded out the top-10 on-track, in front of Chase Mitchell, Spencer Riddell, Dale Lucas, Rick VanKleef, Leo Labarbera, Nicole Stewart, Alex Stewart, and Cole Vis.
Canadian Vintage Modifieds
The front four ran close together through the event, with everyone taking a chance at a pass, but nobody was able to find their way around Mike Podd. Starting the No. 5 on the front row, he led flag-to-flag en route to the victory in front of Jerrid Morphy, Ricky Willigar, and TJ Marshall.
Quinton Murdoch rebounded to fifth following a spin off the drop of the green in front of Daryl Henwood, Steve Murdoch, Joe Arsenault, Jeremy Barton and Connor Ross. Bob Gilbert, Rodney Rutherford, Jeff Kells, and Mike Westwood failed to finish. Robbie Guy did not start the feature.
