Race #6 - Alberta Has Energy 300

It was a clear night in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 6 of the 2015 season at the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway for the Velocity Prairie Thunder 250.

Kennington led the field to the Green Flag and would lead the first lap as the race was an uneventful event for the most part as defending race winner Louis-Philippe Dumoulin would lead much of the early half of the race before Mark Dilley would take the lead himself.

D.J. Kennington would lead much of the early laps while battling with Gary Klutt but with less then one hundred laps to go Andrew Ranger moved into the lead and begin to pull away until a caution with less then forty laps to go set up a short run to the finish. Ranger would easily get past lap traffic and pull away and won for the second year in a row at Autodrome St. Eustache.
