Tim Richardson felt like he had the home track advantage - even though he was racing at a track for the first time.
Richardson pocketed the $1,000 first-place prize on Friday by winning the first leg of the Outhouse Image & Design UMP Summer Sizzler at Ohsweken Speedway.
However, Saturday’s second half of the Summer Sizzler at South Buxton Raceway was postponed by rain.
It has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 4, replacing the UMP Modified Can-Am Clash.

Can-Am Clash modified event cancelled
The second leg of the Outhouse Image & Design UMP Modified Summer Sizzler has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 4, at South Buxton Raceway.
A heavy overnight rainstorm left the South Buxton facility unsuitable for racing on Saturday, forcing the postponement of the Summer Sizzler.
Tilbury’s Tim Richardson won the Ohsweken Speedway portion of the Summer Sizzler on Friday.
As a result of rescheduling the Summer Sizzler, the UMP Modified Can-Am Clash slated for July 4, has been cancelled.
The UMP Modifieds will be racing for a $1,000 winner’s purse in the second leg of the Summer Sizzler. There is also a $500 bonus for the driver with the best two-night overall finish.
American and Canadian drivers who did not race at Ohsweken are still welcome to participate in the second leg of the Summer Sizzler at South Buxton.
Racing resumes this Saturday at South Buxton Raceway with the first of two Kids Nights, presented by Dor-Co Garage Doors, Timm-Con and Burger King. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and racing begins at 7 p.m.
