Mark Dilley took advantage of wild finish between the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series event leaders to earn the victory at the Wild Wing 300 presented by Independent Electric Saturday night at Barrie Speedway.

While running third, Dilley saw in front of him Kerry Micks taping race leader JR Fitzpatrick in Turn 1; making Fitzpatrick spin and allowing him to get by to claim his third career victory.

Jason Hathaway took second, followed by Micks. Don Thomson Jr. and Jeff Lapcevich were fourth and fifth, respectively.

NCTS championship leader and pole sitter Scott Steckly led a race-high 147 laps before a wheel issue resulted in a 15th-place finish. Steckly leads defending series champion Kennington by 69 points with two races remaining.

The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will be back on track Saturday, Sept. 17 for the Komatsu 300 presented by Wilson Equipment at Riverside International Speedway.
