The Krown Body Maintenance saw a pair of first-time winners come to victory lane on Sponsor Night Wednesday evening.  Sponsor night allows teams to bring their sponsors to the track to enjoy a special evening of racing with the support of the league.  The Junior Division feature race was won by Zak Molson (#15) of Courtright.  Molson fought his way through thick packs of lapped traffic to earn his first ever win.  The senior division feature race was won by rookie driver Tanner Pirie (#12) of Woodstock.  Pirie was able to hold off a charging Jonathon VanGrinsven (#99) of Strathroy, who was the defending race winner.  Moreover, after some trying heat races both the 20-lap Junior division feature and 25-lap Senior division feature ran caution free.  Good job drivers!
