It was a close battle back and forth, but it’d be Jordan Howse picking up the win in the St. Onge Recreational Super Stock feature at Sunset Speedway.

The b-main saw Brandon Passer pull off before the green flag with a mechanical issue. The troubles continued into the racing action as on the opening lap, Allard and Watson got together, resulting in Watson spinning, with Constable making contact which ripped the nose off Watson’s car. Then on the restart, Troy Jones had a problem on the backstretch. The issues continued with Latimer and Semeraro getting together on Lap 2.
Stan Coe picked up the win ahead of Tyson, Everingham, Holmes, Morrison, Weeda, Adams, Davey, Semeraro, DiBello, Tooley, Allard and Constable.

The battle for the lead continued on the restart while Cybalski battled Lapcevich for the third spot ahead of Troback, Bentley and Franklin. The caution then flew once again, though, for debris in turn two. Under caution, Constable made his way down pit road, done for the evening.

Troback continued to drop back with McFerran moving into eighth at Lap 16 ahead of Walters, Morrison, Tyson and Troback. Holmes was then able to get by Troback at Lap 17 to move into 12th. Tyson then got alongside Morrison for 10th a lap later, but the caution flew for debris on the backstretch.
The restart saw a short-lived battle for the lead, with Howse taking the top spot solely on Lap 20 ahead of Bentley as Lapcevich and Semple battled for third. Semple took the spot on Lap 21 ahead of Lapcevich, as Franklin rounded out the top-five.
Behind him, McFerran moved into sixth at Lap 23 ahead of Cybalski as Morrison and Walters battled for eighth. Walters got the spot on Lap 24, with Tyson and Holmes following him through two laps later. Holmes then got alongside Tyson for ninth with three laps to go ahead of Morrison and Weeda.
