INNISFIL, ON – Being consistently up front all day long paid off for Mike Bradley, en route to winning the Outlaw Midget feature at Sunset Speedway. The night did not start out smoothly as Wayne McKibbon made significant contact with the wall off turn two, ending the first heat early. The series is happy to report that McKibbon is at home resting, following surgery for both of his leg and elbow. We look forward to seeing him and his family back at the track soon.
Mike Bradley was credited with the win ahead of Larry Lawson, Kevin Spiez, Mikey Homewood, Warren Mahoney, Zack Millman, and McKibbon.
Jeff Blackburn won the second qualifier in front of Nick Spiez, Rob Harrison, Kayla Semple, and Jason Semple.
The third heat did not start off how Millman wanted as he slowed during the pace laps with an issue. The race then featured a trio of spins by Kevin Spiez, Mahoney, and Homewood, each not producing a caution. Larry Lawson got the win followed by Bradley, Spiez, Mahoney, and Homewood.
Jeff Blackburn went for the daily double ahead of Nick Spiez, Harrson, Kayla Semple, and Jason Semple.

The feature started off on a rough note, with Nick Spiez getting into the grass. The second attempt to start the event went smoothly with Blackburn getting the early advantage over Bradley, Lawson, Kevin Spiez, and Homewood.
