VERNON, B.C. – Scott Steckly finally got back to Victory Lane. The two-time champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 broke a 17-race winless drought Saturday night in the A&W Cruisin The Dub 300 at Motoplex Speedway & Event Park. It was his 12th career win and came after back-to-back runner-up finishes in the last two races for the Milverton, Ontario driver. It was also his third win in the last four races at the Vernon half-mile tri-oval. Although he pulled away from runner-up Jason Hathaway to win by a margin of 2.197 seconds, Steckly said the final 100 laps involved plenty of hard charging. "I thought when we got tires with 130 to go that we were just going to ride for a bit, but there was no riding," Steckly said. "Everybody was going just as hard as they could. I passed Jason and started to ride for a bit and then he passed me back. So, it was time to go." Steckly expressed a sense of relief at getting back to Victory Lane for the first time since September of 2011. "We didnt win at all last season and you begin to wonder if youre ever going to win again," he said." To win here at Vernon is great. The fans here are amazing. Were on a roll. We had two second-place finishes the last two races, now a win. We just want to keep the momentum going and go to Saskatoon to win." In a season in which many contenders have faltered, Steckly said its important to not give up. "It just proves to you that youve got to just keep going for wins and trying to win races, because anything can happen," he said. "Youve just got to keep going hard every week and you cant get down. And thats what we did. I think we were 24th in points after two races. Now were fourth or fifth. So, youve just got to keep on going." Hathaway, meanwhile, hopes to build momentum from his second-place finish as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series completes its West Coast swing on Wednesday, July 17, with the Velocity Prairie Thunder presented by Bayer CropScience at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. "We had a good run," Hathaway said of the Vernon event. "We led a bunch of laps. We made good adjustments. There hasnt been a race this year that we havent made good adjustments. We cant wait to get to Saskatoon. Its always a good show and we run well there." Jim White, driving a car out of Stecklys shop, had a career-best third-place finish before a hometown crowd. "This is really important," White said. "These fans have been supporting us for so long. Without the fans, we wouldnt be doing what were doing. The support we get is amazing." Mark Dilley was fourth, while L.P. Dumoulin finished fifth to take over the points lead from D.J. Kennington, who was ninth. Ron Beauchamp Jr. was sixth, followed by Cameron Hayley, Ryley Seibert, Kennington and rookie Alex Guenette. Hayley, a NASCAR K&N Pro Series West regular and native of Canada, was making his NASCAR Canadian Tire Series debut. Pole-winner J.R. Fitzpatrick led the first 39 laps and ran with the leaders early, but ended up finishing 39 laps back in 19th after encountering mechanical trouble.

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Frontal cockpit protection will not be introduced for Formula One cars before the 2018 season, to allow for more testing, the governing body of world motor sports said Thursday.The F1 Strategy Group that includes Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone, six leading teams and FIA President Jean Todt agreed on the move after a meeting in Geneva. Drivers, who spoke strongly in favor of the Halo system, were hoping it would come into force next season.The FIA said that because there was relatively little time until the next season, it would be prudent to use the remainder of this year and early next year to further evaluate the full potential of all options before final confirmation.This will include multiple tests of the Halo system in practice sessions this season and the first part of the 2017 season.While the system is currently the preferred option, the Strategy Group thought that another year of development could result in an even more complete solution. The FIA said Halo remains a strong option for introduction in 2018.While drivers generally dont like the look of the system, which puts a see-through capsule around their cockpits, they appreciate the improved safety.ddddddddddddIt would prevent flying objects from hitting their heads and would provide added protection when cars overturn or when they land on each other.Speaking before the outcome of the vote was known, four-time champion Sebastian Vettel said, I think 90-95 percent of the drivers voted for it. We dont like the looks of it, but I dont think theres anything that really justifies death.Weve always learned from what happened, incidents that happened on the track, and weve always tried to improve, the Ferrari driver said. Now, that would be the first time I think in human history that weve learned a lesson and we dont change. Its up to us to make sure it does happen, otherwise I think wed be quite stupid.Vettel is one of the three directors of the Grand Prix Drivers Association. ' ' '
