Saturday

DRUMMOND, Québec — Bubby Kerrick collected his second Empire Sprint Series A-main season victory Saturday, winning the 25-lap Lucas Oil Canadian Invasion Series event at Autodrome Drummond in a thrilling battle with new teammate Brian McDonald.
Kerrick started on the pole for the feature, but it was McDonald going around the top side of the track to jump to the front from his fourth-place starting spot.
McDonald tried to open up a lead but had his progress slowed by lapped traffic, which proved to be an advantage for the more experienced Kerrick.
Coming off turn two on lap 19, Kerrick slipped under McDonald to take the lead and held on through the final five laps for the victory. Justin Barger finished second, followed by Cory Sparks. McDonald faded back into the fourth spot after losing the lead, finishing just ahead of Jeff VanDusen.
