BARRIE, Ontario — Scott Steckly won Saturday’s NASCAR Canadian Tire Series stock-car event at Barrie Speedway.

Steckly, driving a Chevrolet, pulled away during the final laps, beating Kerry Micks by .372 second.
“We came here looking for the win,” said Steckly. “After a couple of tough finishes, we did not want to take an even smaller points lead into the last two races.”
Thomson came home third, ahead of John Gaunt and Mark Dilley.
The race was slowed 14 times for cautions covering 101 laps. There were 17 lead changes among six drivers.
