Ohsweken, ON — (July 29, 2013) — Shane Stewart won the Nothern Summer Nationals sprint car feature for the Corr / Pak Merchandising sprint car division Monday night at Ohsweken Speedway.
After starting in third position Shane Stewart jumped into the lead with Tom Huppunen and Tony Stewart in tow. After a lap one caution for a tangle involving Chris Sherk, Todd Hoddick, and Harvard Daniels Tony Stewart started to work on Huppunen for the second spot, taking it shortly before Hoddick brought out another caution flag on lap six for slowing to a stop on the racing surface.
Shane and Tony Stewart continued to put on a clinic racing through slower traffic until with 19 laps in Tony Stewart hopped the cushion in turn four and took a nasty flip off of the race track. Stewart emerged from the car under his own power.
Two laps later track owner Glenn Styres got upside down in turn two while running second. Styres emerged from his car uninjured.
Shane Stewart got another good restart and motored onto victory over Jessica Zemken, Dain Naida, Steve Collins, and Mikey Kruchka rounded out the top five.
