5 SUPER STREETS MAY 26 COMPLETION Superman Aaron Fellows won his 2nd feature event of the season in the first race of the night. Good things come to those that wait! Ask Aaron Fellows. With the first 19 laps of the race taking place a week earlier until rain delayed the finish, Fellows took the lead from Ben Poland on Lap 21 and won his second feature of the season. Poland ended up third for his second podium finish in five races. The Original Craig Smith restarted the race from the fifth position and finished second for his fourth top 5 of the year. Outlaw Racing s Ryan Currier recorded his best finish of the year thus far with a fourth. Dylan Bodreau recovered after being sent to the back of the field after contact with Alex Poisson. He finished fifth for his fourth top 5 as well. Hayden Scott was absent from the second installment of the race due to a prior commitment as the race was run on Saturday. Alex Poisson led the first 16 laps of the event. Bodreau and Joe Brown were the heat race winners on May cars originally the started the event on May 26. Only four cautions during the 40 laps with one coming on Lap 19 for the rain shower and then the eventual suspension. 5

6 Craig Smith was the runner-up in the first feature of the night, his third podium. Ben Poland capped off a strong run with a third place finish. R.E.

7 SUPER STREETS Marvelous Mark McClay was all smiles after his finish in the nightcap feature. After post-race inspection, McClay was awarded the feature win - his second of the season. You look marvelous. Mark McClay originally finished 2nd but after post-race technical inspections, McClay was declared the winner, his second feature of the season. McClay also won his heat race. Aaron Fellows was the unoffficial feature winner until post-race technical inspections found an infraction with the carburetor resulting in his disqualification. Newport s Craig Smith wrapped up a productive night at the races. After finishing second in the earlier feature, Smith followed it up with a third place effort. Smith is now your new points leader a quarter of the way into the season. It has been a radical season thus far for defending champion Ricky Bly. Bly recorded his first podium of the year with a runner-up finish. He only sits 19 points out of the point lead at this juncture. Dylan Bodreau had his first DNF of the season after an incident on Lap 2. Bodreau eventually went pitside on Lap 5. Alex Poisson finished fifth in the 40-lap feature. This was Poisson s career-best Super Street finish. Speaking of career-bests, rookie Matt Sonnhalter had his best career Super Street finish with a seventh. The Judge Joe Brown led the first 16 circuits until wheel issues forced him to retire early. Brown finished 13th. 15 cars started the event which was slowed by only 2 cautions. 7

8 Ricky Bly snagged his first podium of the year with a runner-up finish. Craig Smith took home third in the second feature for two podiums on the night. R.E.
