Looking back at the Midas of Orangeville OSCAAR Midget’s season, here are some notable numbers to think about….
2 feature victories for Jody Bound this year en route to the championship
2 – Wayne McKibbon was one of 2 rookies that finished in the top-10 in points, joining series champion Jody Bound
2 Midgets flipped in a wreck together at Peterborough. Thankfully, both drivers were okay.
3 heat wins were the name of the game for James Stanley en route to finishing fifth in points
4 drivers scored more than five heat victories in 2015 – Jamie Bound (14 wins – pictured left), Jessica James (10), Jody Bound (7) and Richard Woodland (6)
5 drivers scored more than five feature top-fives in 2015 – Brian Woodland (8), Jamie Bound (7), Jody Bound (9), Richard Woodland (6) and Rob McCall (6)
5 heat wins, five feature top-fives and five feature top-10s for Paul Draganoc en route to finishing seventh in points
6 drivers scored a feature victory in 2015
7 feature wins by Jamie Bound led the way of all drivers
7 different rookies were part of the 2015 season, including series champion Jody Bound
8 feature top-10s for Shawn Stanley en route to finishing eighth in points
9 starts this year for Jamie Bound resulted in seven wins, and two DNFs. Notably, he was running in the top-two when he ran into both issues that resulted in a DNF
9 feature top-fives for Jody Bound led the way of all drivers in 2015
9 drivers scored more than five feature top-10s in 2015
12 feature top-10s for Brian Woodland (No. 48, pictured right) led the way of all drivers in 2015. That means that Brian only had one finish outside of the top-10 this season.
13 – June 13 saw James become the first female OSCAAR feature winner, scoring the victory at Full Throttle Motor Speedway
14 heat victories by Jamie Bound led the way of all drivers in 2015

42 – Brian McDonald drove his No. 42 Midget to nine feature top-10s and a heat win en route to finishing fourth in points.
46 drivers ran at least one event in 2015
49 points is the amount that Jody Bound won the championship by over Brian Woodland.
88 – Jim Rodgers flipped the No. 88 Midget at Sunset Speedway this past summer. Thankfully, Rodgers was uninjured in the wreck
97 – Robin McLean drove the No. 97 to feature victory on June 6 at Sunset Speedway.
With the numbers crunched, I have one thing to ask – what are some of your most memorable moments of the season? Look forward to an article in the future featuring these memorable moments, as well as number crunching for each of the other three divisions.
