Ranger wins the championship

Andrew Ranger became this Sunday the first ever NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion with a 6th place finish at Kawartha Speedway. Ranger's championship rival D.J. Kennington blew a motor on lap 98 which opened the door for Ranger to grab the championship. With that achievement, Ranger will be invited to the Toyota All-Star Showdown to be held at Irwindale Speedway on October 19-20. That race pits together the best drivers from NASCAR Development Series in a special showdown format.

Ranger let down by his engine

Andrew Ranger had a hard luck this Sunday as he lost his engine while going up through the pack on lap 268 of the 300 lap event in Antigosh, Nova-Scotia. His title rival D.J. Kennington finished third, 10 spots in front of Ranger and thus, reduces the gap to 41 points going into the last race of the season at Kawartha. Despite a second place finish, early season contender J.R. Fitzpatrick is now mathematically out of this year's NASCAR Canadian Tire Series title run.
