Milton, On - This Sunday October 1st John Fletcher will make his 200th stock car start and in doing so may lock up the 2006 OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Series Title with a finish of 21st or better.
John debuted in a Canadian Vintage Modified in 1989 running limited a schedule each year until 1992. John became the 1992 Canadian Vintage Modified Champion running the series that year completely. 1993 saw a little change in John’s driving career as he continued to run a the races ho chose for the CVM, John also made one start in the Flex-Mor Series driving Bill Snowdon’s Super Late Model.
Over the next few years John and Bill continued to run a few race’s each year, winning along the way. 2004 Team JNE Consulting was formed to take on the full OSCAAR Series Schedule with the goal to win the title.
2004 saw a tough battle with then 3 time Champion Rob Clarke in which the title came down to 8 laps to go in the final race of the year with John leading the race, the championship and in one lap it all changed with a flat tire. The team changed the tire and John raced is way back to within two spots of the title losing by ten points.
After back to back runner up spots for the OSCAAR title it is a start away. Marking this milestone start will also be the goal to capture John’s 40th win as well, 199 starts along with 39 wins and a title on the line there would not be a better race track to do it then Flamboro Speedway the very track John started his first event, first win, first title, first Super Late Model win and on Sunday perhaps Team JNE Consulting’s first OSCAAR title.

The OSCAAR Outlaws have a unique body style and can boast the greatest horsepower of any Ontario stock car divisionThe unique Outlaw body style features a hood and nose combination which slopes to the ground on a steep angle, rear side panels which are flat and an alternative roof style. There is also allowance in the series for a larger spoiler at the back. Inside the car the chassis is offset to the left or drivers side which allows for better cornering on the oval tracks. The engine department has plenty of rules but the bottom line is that these Outlaw cars carry a lot of horsepower. The overall result is plenty of action and excitement on the track!
