Jack started the Tiger Sprint Heat race from the third position. He took over second spot on lap one and began to chase down TJ. Justin nearly lost it coming off turn four early in the race but held on to maintain speed. Jack set up a nice pass on TJ coming out of turn four to take over the lead spot on lap 5. Justin then took over the second spot from TJ causing TJ to loop it in turn 2. Caution flew with 6 to go. Jack took them to the green and led them to the checkers for the heat win. Jack led every lap of the feature race. The boys spread out pretty quickly and pretty evenly making it easy for them to just ride around and not get into any trouble. Jack laid down one of the fastest laps of the season at 9.365.
In the Jr Sportsman Champ Heat Race, the inside line of Zompanti, Bleau and Duhaime somehow took each other out as they were coming around to take the green before the start of the race. They lined them all back in single file to start the race. Jack started in second spot. Barry took Duhaime with him around Jack going into turn 3 and then TJ and Jack split Cody coming out of turn two. Barry looped it on turn 4 on the next lap bringing out the caution. Jack stayed on the lead lap to finish the heat race in fourth.
This was one of Jack's best feature races so far this season in the Jr Sportsman Champ. Jack managed to hang with the top three cars for the first half of the race before falling off the pace. Jack made a nice clean pass on the lapped car of Cody Zompanti and finished the race on the lead lap in the fourth position.
