OSCAAR: Last Chance Of '06 To Catch Mosport OSCAAR Action Coming Up This Weekend

The OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Models are back at Mosport Speedway on August 19. It has been an exciting season of racing and this Saturday should be no exception. John Fletcher and Rob Clarke have battled for the championship with the edge recently going to the JNE Consulting #61 Team. The two teams won't rest easy realizing that every race counts in the big picture.

The Kerr Cadillac #03 Team of Shane Maginnis, Mosport winner on June 24th, certainly had their challenges over the past two weeks. A wreck at Peterborough left them very little time to get repairs done before the next race at Kawartha less than a week later. However a sharp looking 03 Outlaw was evident in the Kawartha pits and Maginnis charged to a heat win and the first 35 lap feature lead before suffering a motor problem. Getting ready for Mosport was going to depend on parts and time - we wish them well with their preparations.

ASA Alloys Inc and the #67 Team must be very pleased with their recent performance. Finishing 2nd in the last 35 lap feature race at Kawartha backed a season and personal best for Phil Bullen from Sunset Speedway. He is looking forward to continuing great results and taking advantage of some good momentum as the season winds down.

Another car to keep an eye on is the red hot Race2Way.ca #22 of Glenn Watson. Taking 2nd overall at Kawartha, the #22 Team has created a niche as one of OSCAAR's dominant performances in 2006. Always very professional and hard-working, it is sometimes hard to believe that this is a Rookie year for driver and team in OSCAAR.

Spicer's Towing #89 Drew Spicer was enjoying another strong performance at Kawartha after posting a season best 3rd at Peterborough, but suffered motor problems in the 2nd feature. The team was going to work hard at repairing the motor and make it to Mosport. Look for the #89 Outlaw to charge toward the front on Saturday.

With the close competition in 2006 any number of Outlaw drivers could come out with a strong performance this weekend including John Owen, Gary Passer, Ed Bowlby and Ken Hayward. Al Shepstone and Pee Wee Evans were involved in a serious wreck at Kawartha. The #15 would need a miracle to be ready for Mosport, however there is a chance for the #90 Team making it to one of their favourite tracks. Looking forward to seeing all our OSCAAR fans at Mosport - thank you for your support!
