Tim Norris took another step closer in his bid for the 2010 Ontario Pro Challenge title on August 21 when he scored his second straight series victory aboard his #88 ApprencticeSearch.com / Lucas Oil Ford Taurus. After taking the checkered flag at Flamboro Speedway on August 7, Norris came right back to lead the pack at Sauble Speedway on August 21 to out-gun a 17-car field. The win closes his gap to the championship leading Dennis Thomson (#02 Thomson Signs Ford Mustang) to just 18 points heading into the final three races of the year. Thomson minimized the damage to his cushion in the standings by once again finishing second, this time ahead of rookies Jason Podewis (#7 Chev Monte Carlo) and Patrick Freel (#77 Chev Monte Carlo), who each turned in their best efforts of the season. Milton, Ontario’s Scott Fletcher capped the top-five in his #60 Hype Energy Drink Monte Carlo.
Tim Forbes (#07 Midhurst Roofing Ford Mustang) was sixth in the final tally, ahead of Dario Valente (#71 Apartments International Chev Monte Carlo), Owen Smith (#40 Ford Taurus), Kyle Batty (#38 Compassion Canada Chev Monte Carlo) and Dale Wilson (#8 AW Millwrights Chev Monte Carlo).
The drivers will now head into the final three races of year, with events at Kawartha (Sept. 10), Sunset (Sept. 18) and Flamboro (Sept. 25).
