Saturday September 22nd meant qualifying day for the OSCAAR Modifieds for the Velocity 250 feature, which is set to be run on Sunday September 23rd. It was a familiar crowd at the front of the field, winning the races, while some drivers found some trouble.
There was a heaviness in the air. A foreboding if you will. The clouds were gathering just beyond the track and the smell of rain became apparent on the wind. It was a hurry up qualifying session for the Commonwealth Clash at Lernerville Speedway. Hurry up next one we can get it in. Hurry up and go. But all the hurrying in the world wasn't enough even with 12 second laps, at 6:25 EDT the winds and the rain came. Fans were advised to leave the grandstands and take cover. Crews rushed to trailer their cars. Qualifying would have to be started over.
At the end of the 30-lap feature for the Ontario Pro Challenge series as part of Velocity 250 weekend, it'd be Tim Norris taking the victory to cap off his second straight championship in a row.

Tonight the World of Outlaws rolled into Clay County Fairgrounds for the Arnold Motor Supply Shootout. Points leader Donny Schatz was riding the largest point lead of the season with a 72 point advantage over Craig Dollansky.
