Scott Steckly lapped all but second place finisher Marc-Antoine Camirand to win the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Wounded Warriors Canada 300 at Riverside global Speedway in Antigonish, N.S. It was Steckly’s third win of the season in the No. 22 Canadian Tire Dodge. Austin Dillon and Denny Hamlin followed Kenseth in the top five Sunday. “I got that one lead”.
“I don’t think we’ll be running this one again”, Edwards said.
“His [Kenseth’s] vehicle was really good down the straightaway”, Dillon said. In other words, the cars tend to be a little tight by themselves, and they tend to be a lot-a-bit free in traffic.
The third leg of a four-race experiment with two different aerodynamic packages, this was the big test for the high-drag package at a track where it could conceivably work. “It’s really good times for Joe Gibbs Racing right now”.
When they tried, most times their cars got wobbly in the turbulence created by the high-drag package.
Team Matt Kenseth won Sunday’s race from the pole, but given Busch’s previous four finishes at MIS (31st, 41st, 39th and 43rd), Sunday’s 11th-place run was the next best thing to a victory. At Michigan, Kenseth led 146 of 200 laps, so any excitement came farther back in the pack.

The driver who felt the most helpless was Clint Bowyer, whose crash on Lap 125 resulted in him finishing 36 laps down in 41st. Jeff Gordon won last year’s Pure Michigan 400, while Kurt Busch visited victory lane at MIS in June. Busch was sixth in qualifying Friday, but going to the backup auto will force him to start from the back in Sundays race. Can you tell us something about the difference in handling? NASCAR said it worked with the team during prerace inspection and asked the team to err on the safe side by switching out the splitters. He limped to pit road, nearly colliding with Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Danica Patrick coming toward his pit in the process.
