Sauble Beach, ON - This past Saturday night, Rob Neely took his second checkered flag of the 2009 Lucas Oil Can-Am Midget racing season, breaking James Gray's winning streak. Neely took the lead half-way through the feature race and began to fly through the clean air ahead of him as Gray worked hard to catch up but found himself finishing second, while Adam Walsh took third. Dave Balych, who had won his heat earlier that day, finished fourth, and Todd Cresswell rounded out the top five. 

Sunday's feature race was the last in the Owen Sound Home Hardware "Boss of the Beach" Series, which was based on the results of the six Lucas Oil Can-Am Midget races held at Sauble Speedway throughout the 2009 season.    Gray took home both the checkered flag and first place in the "Boss of the Beach" Series this past Sunday evening. Greg Smulders, who started on the pole, defended his position until lap seventeen, when Gray, who started back in twelfth position, passed Smulders for the lead, to take the win. Smulders held onto second, while Balych, Walsh and Neely rounded out the top five. The Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets will be running their last race of the 2009 season at Flamboro Speedway on Saturday, September 26, 2009, where the 2009 Champion will be crowned.
