Two-time NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion Scott Steckly ended his 17-race winless streak by winning Saturday night's A&W Cruisin' The Dub 300 at Motoplex Speedway.

For the veteran, it was a 12th career win and came after back-to-back runner-up finishes in the last two races.

He ran a flawless race and crossed the finish line with a priority of 2.197 seconds over runner-up Jason Hathaway, his third win in the last four races at the Vernon half-mile tri-oval. 

Jim White finished third while Mark Dilley ended-up fourth in front of L.P. Dumoulin who now takes over the points lead by two from D.J. Kennington.

Hathaway is third, 10 points behind Dumoulin and just four in front of Steckly.
J.R. Fitzpatrick won the pole position earlier Saturday but encountered mechanical problems in the race that relegated him to a 19th-place finish.

The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will be back in action for the Velocity Prairie Thunder presented by Bayer CropScience at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway July 17th.
