MILLGROVE, ON — Taking the lead in the opening laps, J.R. Fitzpatrick dominated the June 14 Don Biederman Memorial for the Ontario Outlaw Super Late Models on Saturday at Flamboro Speedway.
Laying down a lap of 14.439 seconds in time trials, Fitzpatrick earned the Fox’s Bakery and Deli pole position. The invert saw him start a few spots off the top, but he wasted no time making his way forward. He took the lead on Lap 8 and led the rest of the way en route to victory. It marked a strong rebound after suffering a mechanical failure in the series season opener at Sunset Speedway.
Brandon Passer, who won the event at Sunset, finished second this time around, with Dustyn Mombourquette scoring his first career Super Late Model podium finish. Todd Campbell and Dario Capirchio completed the top five, followed by Roy Passer, Adrian Foster, Mike Miller, Chris Burrows, and Brad Pearsall.
