INNISFIL, Ontario — The title defense is still being kept strong and in order by Daniel Hawn, as he swept the Living Lighting Canada, Scott Reinhart Trailer Sales Ltd OSCAAR Pro Sprint 20-lap features presented by Wild Wing of Woodbridge

For the first feature, Dylan Little started pole ahead of Kevin Taylor, Gary Triska, Tyler Cullen, Brad Holmes, Kelly Summers, Ryan Battilana, Daniel Hawn, and James Stanley.

Kevin Taylor would grab the early advantage on the opening lap ahead of Cullen and Battilana, as Holmes ran into mechanical issues, forcing him pit side. Battilana was able to get alongside Cullen for second on Lap 2. Hawn would then take them both three-wide, taking the runner-up spot with Battilana third ahead of Cullen.

Hawn’s climb to the front would be complete on Lap 4, as he’d take the top spot. Battilana would move into second a lap later, with Taylor now third ahead of Cullen, Riddell, Stanley, Little, Triska, and Summers. Riddel would then make his way up to fourth on Lap 8, with Stanley following him through. Cullen now ran sixth ahead of Little.

The climb continued for Riddel, as both he and Stanley would get around Taylor for third and fourth with three laps to go. The battle for third would get close in the final laps, as the leaders weaved their way through lap traffic. Riddel would try to cut underneath Summers, but would get into the grass, spinning around on the final lap.

Daniel Hawn cruised to the victory ahead of Ryan Battilana and James Stanley. Kevin Taylor finished fourth, followed by Tyler Cullen, Dylan Little, Jaden Riddel, Gary Triska, Kelly Summers, and Brad Holmes.

Riddel was able to get the third spot, challenging Battilana for second. Unfortunately, Riddel got a little loose, with both cars going around for the spin in turn two for the caution at Lap 11. With nine laps to go, Holmes led Stanley, Taylor, Cullen, Riddel, Battilana, Summers, Holmes, and Little.

The restart would produce the second caution, with Riddel and Taylor getting tangled up together, followed by Battilana spinning behind them.

The second restart would go cleanly, with Hawn getting the jump ahead of Stanley as Battilana moved up into third ahead of Riddel, Cullen, Taylor, Summers, and Little. Little would then get alongside Summers for seventh with three laps to go, as Battilana and Riddel battled for third.
