Justin Billington scores Ontario Pro Challenge feature victory at Sunset Speedway

Justin Billington would hold off a strong late race charge from Josh Nicholson to score the Ontario Pro Challenge feature victory at Sunset Speedway.

Tim Shanahan would win the first heat ahead of Billington, Owen Smith, Ken Lillycrop, Peter Hattin, Bud Racing and Dan Alder.

Tim Norris won the second heat ahead of Nicholson, Dennis Thomson, Mike Westwood, Kyle Batty and Matt Marshall.

Billington would get the advantage of picking up a front starting spot, taking the lead early. Nicholson wouldn’t be far behind, working his way through to move up to the second spot. It was from that point that he began stalking Billington for the lead.

The pair wouldn’t be alone either in the closing laps, with Batty, Thomson and Westwood joining the fight. Slipping high and low around each other, the five made for a very entertaining feature in trading spots. The battle wouldn’t stay clean, though, as contact would send Westwood for the spin in turn two on the white flag lap. Both Westwood and Thomson would be sent to the rear for the green-white-checkered.

On the restart, Justin Billington was able to hold serve, fending off every attempt by Josh Nicholson to claim the victory. Kyle Batty finished third, followed by Owen Smith and Mike Westwood.
