PROCTOR - The race that was supposed to - in a perfect world - finish the third edition of the FastLane Motorsports Northern Super Stock Challenge Series, turned out to be just the second leg Sunday night at the Proctor Speedway.
Friday’s rain out of the first race at the AMSOIL Speedway forced the Chellenge opener to be at ABC Raceway Saturday, thus making Sunday’s event at Proctor the second race of the three-event series.

The third and final race of the series is scheduled for Friday at AMSOIL Speedway.
Scott Lawrence, the defending point champion of the series, is the overall leader after third-place finishes Saturday at Ashland and Sunday at Proctor.
Kevin Burdick topped a field of 38 cars in the Super Stock Challenge at Proctor on Sunday, including Cooper Berlin and Lawrence, a six-time winner and defending track champion.
It was Burdick’s eighth win of the season and second win at Proctor. He also turned the fastest lap of the race at 16.92 seconds.
His margin of victory was about a quarter of a second over Tim Johnson, while Lawrence finished third, followed by Shane Sabraski and Nick Oreskovich. Cory Casari won the hard charger award as he was able to finish 10th after rolling off in 21st.
Burdick had one final duty in victory lane, he drew two positions and those drivers would receive a $250 bonus each from Northern Clearing of Ashland. The lucky drivers were Brian Mikkonen and Don Muzzy.
Other feature winners Sunday night were: Andy Jones, WISSOTA modified; Skeeter Estey, Midwest modifieds; Harry Hanson, non-winged sprints; and Dylan Shelton, WISSOTA pure stock.
The WISSOTA Hornets had three feature winners. Jake Smith won the A feature; Casari won the first B feature, and Patrick Beeksma won the second B feature.
