2007 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series

Race #11 - Atlantic Dodge Dealers 300

It was a cloudy day in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series entered Round 11 of the 2007 season at the Riverside Speedway for the Atlantic Dodge Dealers 300.

Kerry Micks led the field to the Green Flag but it was Mark Dilley, who got a great start on the outside, who would lead the first lap as Dilley would quickly began to built up a lead of nearly five seconds during the first two hundred laps, but that lead would shrink down to nothing when the lone caution came out, setting up a shooutout for the win. Dilley would get another great restart and would defend his lead like he had done before, and would go on to score his first career win by leading every single lap.

Other Noticeables:
Mark Dilley scored his 1st win of the season,
Dilley led 1 time for 300 laps, which was every single lap,
