LONDON, ON – Both OSCAAR series were in action at Delaware Speedway on Saturday, where Jamie Cox (Modifieds) and Dalen Martin (Hot Rods) recorded victories.
OSCAAR Modifieds
Taking the top spot just before the halfway mark, Jamie Cox led the rest of the way to win the Overkill Enterprises OSCAAR Modified feature at Delaware.
After winning his heat, Cox started fourth for the 30-lap feature, ready to make his move to the front. He took the runner-up spot on Lap 5, setting his sights on the race leader. He easily closed in on Dale Reinhart over the next couple of laps, taking the position on Lap 8. Cox spread his lead out to a couple of car lengths, maintaining the advantage for the remainder of the race.
Reinhart ran a comfortable second to the checkered flag, while Steve Trendell scored another podium in third-place, followed by Wally Wilson in fourth.
The battle for fifth caught the attention of fans through the final 10 laps, with Jason Keen holding off a hard-charging Marshall Schrenk, despite a couple bumps being traded over the last five laps. Ryan Dick tried to join the battle, ultimately placing seventh.
Steve McCaw and Bryan Batty rounded out the field. Brandon Feeney was also in attendance, but motor issues prevented him from taking the green flag for the feature. Heat victories went to Jason Keen and Jamie Cox.
OSCAAR Hot Rods
Dalen Martin won the OSCAAR Hot Rods feature at Delaware after a penalty was issued to Jason Parker.
A heat win put Martin on the pole for the feature, and he was ready to take full advantage of the track position. He quickly jumped out to the advantage over the field, spreading it out to almost a straightaway lead. Everything was wiped away though, as a caution came out with eight laps to go for an incident in the battle for fifth.
Parker took full advantage of the restart, battling side-by-side with Martin before taking the lead with three laps to go; he went on to record his second straight series victory. Martin finished second, while David Rockwood made a late-race charge for third.
Update: As a result of a penalty, Dalen Martin becomes the official winner of the event. The penalty report can be viewed on the series website here.
Rob Bromley ran inside the top-five throughout the entire event, picking up a fourth-place finish, ahead of Brian Wilson. Tyler Hawn battled up front early, fading back for sixth, ahead of Steve Book.
Thomas Wunsch made his way forward, though a lock-up going into turn one, trying to make a move, sent him around for a spin, leaving Derek Clark with nowhere to go. Wunsch and Clark were both unable to continue, scored eighth and ninth respectively.
Jordan Morris suffered mechanical issues, resulting in having to pull off with just eight laps on the board. Barry Watson rounded out the field. Heat victories went to Jason Parker and Dalen Martin.
Both the OSCAAR Hot Rods and Modifieds will be back in action at Full Throttle Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 12.
