HAGERSVILLE, Ontario — Charlie Menard steered his Menards Home Improvment Ford Fusion into victory lane, as the ASA Late Model Series traveled into Canada for the first time for the running of the inaugural Canada 200 Sunday at Cayuga Speedway Park.
Menard took the lead from 21-year-old Michael Annett on lap 126 and scored a dominating victory. It was Menard’s first triumph since Oct. 7, 2005, at his home track — LaCrosse (Wis.) Fairgrounds Speedway.
Eddie Hoffman and Annett had a spirited battle for second place for more than 40 laps, as they diced in and out of lapped traffic all the while battling each other. Finally, on lap 162, Hoffman got by Annett and set his sights on Menard, but Menard had established an insurmountable 10-second lead by that point.
Hoffman held on for second, followed by Annett, Travis Dassow and Keeton Hanks to the line.
The finish:
Charlie Menard, Eddie Hoffman, Michael Annett, Travis Dassow, Keeton Hanks, Bob Varney, Pete Vanderwyst, Michael Simko, Kris Stump, Derek Thorn, Butch Miller, Peter Cozzolino, Greg Stewart, Sean Murphy, Alec Carll, Jesse Smith, Colt James, Rob MacDonnell, Chris Purdy, David McManus, Trevor Dassow, Bob Johnson,  Bob Cumbow.
