Jeff Schives is three-for-three in Autotech Bombers feature races to open the 2014 stock car racing season at South Buxton Raceway.
The Blenheim driver started Saturday night’s 13-car feature in the fifth row but moved into the lead by lap four and drove away from the field.
Blenheim’s Evan Bonner finished second, followed by Chatham’s Brandon Ardis, Blenheim’s Austin Pickering and Chatham’s Ryan O’Hearn to round out the top five.
Earlier in the night, Schives won the heat race as he has five wins and a second-place finish in his six overall races.
The other four division feature races were cancelled as a heavy downpour during the intermission shortened the night’s program.
South Buxton will hold ‘double features’ for the four effected classes this coming Saturday, May 24.
Four drivers were two-for-two in the preliminary races before the Saturday’s early conclusion.
Kingsville’s Rob Young, in the Tirecraft Sport Stocks, and Ridgetown’s Dale Glassford, in the Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Models, both won their heat and pursuit races.
Shrewsbury’s Jim Dale Jr., in the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UM Modifieds, and Dresden’s Matt Sorrell in the Tirecraft Mini-Mods, took the checkereds in their heats and dashes.
The other heat race winners were Leamington’s Joel Dick in the Modifieds, Wallaceburg’s Gary Vyse in the Sport Stocks and Chatham’s John Pinsonneault Jr. in the Mini-Mods.
Blenheim’s Shawn Hope won the other Bomber heat race.
The grandstand opens at 5 p.m. and racing begins with the four rescheduled feature races at 7 p.m.
