HAGERSVILLE, Ont. –
Justin Allgaier
passed
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
with 40 laps to go and drove away with the ARCA RE/MAX
Series win at Cayuga Speedway in Ontario, Canada.
Allgaier's win was a comeback of sorts, rebounding from
a spin initiated by Olive Branch, Miss. five-star
Stenhouse Jr. The win was the second of the season for
the Riverton, Ill. four-star.
"This
racetrack was really cool and it means a lot to me to
win here," said Allgaier. "We got turned around and
everything and tried to come back from that. We had to
check up a little bit there and [Stenhouse] got into us;
no hard feelings there."
Defending series champion Frank Kimmel finished second,
followed by Stenhouse Jr., and Westby, Wisc.'s
Dexter Bean.
Stenhouse Jr. led a race-high 101 laps.

Stenhouse Jr. when a broken rear end on his Win-Tron Racing
machine gave way to a DNF and a 25th place finish.
