Race #9 - Wilson Equipment 300
It was a clear day in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 9 at the Riverside International Speedway for the Wilson Equipment 300.
Points Leader Scott Steckly led the field to the Green Flag as Steckly was looking for the maximum amount of points possible to expand his lead as he would completely dominate the day, leading 193 of a possible 300, but Steckly found that the tricky short track was hard to get back onto the track after a pit stop and collided with the pit entrance, knocking him and Larry Jackson out of the race. With his championship rival Steckly out of the race, D.J. Kennington took advantage of that and dominated the remaining laps, score his second win of 2013, second in a row, and more importantly, Kennigton now has the most victories in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
Other Noticeables:
D.J. Kennington scored his 2nd win of the season and second in a row,

Race #10 - Pinty's Presents the Clarington 200
It was a clear day in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 10 at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for the Pinty's Presents the Clarington 200.
J.R. Fitzpatrick led the field to the Green Flag as he would lead the first twenty three laps as the second race at the CTMP road course was a pretty tame event as several drivers from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series would run to get experience for the upcoming event at the track as well. Fitzpatrick was the obvious man to beat leading twenty seven laps but a flat tire forced him to make a pit stop and lost a lot of spots handing the lead over to Louis-Philippe Dumoulin. Once in the lead Dumoulin would drive away and despite a late caution that would force the race to go into over time, Dumoulin would win for the second time in a row at CTMP.
Other Noticeables:
Louis-Philippe Dumoulin scored his 2nd win of the season,
Dumoulin led 1 time for 26 laps, including the final 26 laps,
It was the 3rd win of his career in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and his first since CTMP 13 races ago,
Chad Hackenbracht(6th), Jeb Burton(7th), James Buescher(21st), Matthew Scannell(27th) and Curtis Fielding(36th) made their NASCAR Canadian Tire Series debuts,

Race #11 - Hudco Electric Supply 300
It was a cloudy day in Barrie, Ontario, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 11 at the Barrie Speedway for the Hudco Electric Supply 300.
Scott Steckly led the field to the Green Flag but it would be Ryley Seibert who would quickly drive himself into the lead and was quite a surprise as he easily lead the most laps, 186 out of a possible 300, but with alittle less then 100 laps to go, the rear end in his car would break and ending what could have been a possible win but instead ending up with a last place finish. With Seibert out of the way, Alex Guenette would become the new leader and lead until suddenly his rearview mirror showed a sight he didn't want to see, the points leader D.J. Kennington, catching him quickly and would pass Guenette and would score an important win.
Other Noticeables:
D.J. Kennington scored his 3rd win of the season,
Kennington led 1 time for 11 laps, including the final 11 laps,
It was the 19th win of his career in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and his first since Riverside 3 races ago,

Race #12 - Pinty's 250
It was a cloudy day in Fraserville, Ontario, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 12 at the Kawartha Speedway for the Pinty's 250.
Donald Chisholm led the field to the Green Flag as he would quickly jump out to a huge lead as the last race of the season gave Scott Steckly one more chance to try and get around D.J. Kennington for the championship lead. Both drivers would struggle and would not lead a lap but would remain in the Top 10 all race long but up front Chisholm's car faded after the first pit stop and would hand the lead over to Noel Dowler, who appeared on his way to a win. However, slowing moving up from his 14th starting spot was Peter Shepherd, who has been winless in three years, was not going to be denied as he took the lead late and would stretch his margin and would easily score the win, at the same track he scored his first win.
In the battle for the championship, both Steckly and Kennington stayed in the Top 10 all race long not allowing either driver to gain much as by the end of the race it was Steckly finishing ahead of Kennington, but was unable to gain enough points to beat him as Kennington wins back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.
Other Noticeables:
Peter Shepherd scored his 1st win of the season,
Shepherd led 1 time for 53 laps, including the final 53 laps,
It was the 2nd win of his career in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and his first since 2010 at Kawartha 37 races ago,
D.J. Kennington, who finished 7th, is the 2013 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Champion, beating Scott Steckly by 7 points

2013 Canadian Tire Series Year End Review
Last October I started my third year of playing through the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and it turned out to be a very fun year to watch play out. When I originally started reviewing these series the Canadian Tire Series was one I never had much interest in doing to begin with but over time I've come to enjoy it for not only the new different drivers but also new tracks I had never used before. In 2011 Scott Steckly won the championship and D.J. Kennington won in 2012 and oddly enough it would be a showdown between both drivers all year long that was settled in the final race on the final lap. The 2013 season could be described in one word: dominance.
Of the twelve events race, seven was won by either Scott Steckly or D.J. Kennington and together both led a combined 937 of the 2,227 laps. There were several boring races like when Scott Steckly led all 30 laps and won at Circuit ICAR or when J.R. Fitzpatrick would dominate at Delaware leading all 200 laps to score his only win of the season, but it was fun seeing the cars race and fight and it was just as fun as seeing the trucks or cup race. In the end D.J. Kennington won the championship for the second year in a row and will be a strong contender to win his third straight in the 2014 season.
Below are the stats for the 2013 year and the official close to the 2013 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. Here is hoping that 2014 is as fun as well!
