Ranger Clinches Title with Win ! - 9/21/2009
With his single-season series record sixth win, Ranger, with a 189-point lead in the standings, is right on the cusp of his second series title in three seasons having won it in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series’ inaugural season of 2007.
Ranger, racing out of Roxton Pond, Que., won for the first time on an oval track on July 18 at SunValley Speedway in Vernon, B.C. He followed that up with another win on an oval at Mosport Speedway in Bowmanville, Ont., on Aug. 8 before taking a third oval-track win in this event. The accomplished road racer also won three times on road courses—Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont., Rexall Speedway in Edmonton, Alberta and Circuit de Trois-Rivieres in Quebec—to account for his six victories this season.
Even when not finishing the race in Victory Lane, Ranger, 22, was a contender each and every race. He has eight top-five finishes and has yet to finish outside the top 10 in 12 events, so far, this season.
In the race, he drove his Walmart/Tide Ford to the lead for good on Lap 253 as he moved past Jeff Lapcevich, who led the previous 97 laps. From there, Ranger opened a sizeable lead and eventually beat Lapcevich to the line by 9.159 seconds.
