OSHAWA, ON (August 21, 2017)- His 2017 season had been plagued by bad luck and mechanical gremlins, but Saturday, August 19 John Baker Jr. made the transition to race winner, when he claimed his first Ontario Modifieds Racing Series victory of the year at Peterborough Speedway.

Starting on the front row, alongside another former champion Rob Warnes, Baker took the lead from the drop of the green flag, but his charge was short-lived when a multi-car incident coming off the fourth turn produced a red flag. No one was injured in the wreck, but the machines of Duane Cinnamon and Willow Barberstock were sidelined for the rest of the event.

Baker had a strong car, but two-time feature winner Brad Stevenson, who had started from sixth spot, was moving through the field. The 25-lap feature had a number of yellow flags that slowed the pace, but there was no keeping the crowd favourite from earning a trip the winner’s circle. Stevenson held-on for second spot, with Mark Gordon, Brendan Adams and Stu Robinson Jr. completed the top five. Josh Gruntz, Rob Warnes, Chris Burrows, Randy Hollingsworth, Craig Stevenson, Cinnamon and Barberstock rounded-up the finishing order.
