Reigning NASCAR Canadian Tire series' champion Scott Steckly won his fourth career race at Autodrome St-Eustache.
The Milverton, Ontario, native raced the No. 22 Dodge to his 16th career victory in Saturday's National 250 from Autodrome St-Eustache.
Steckly now has four wins and top fives in all six career starts at the flat .4-mile oval.
Eighteen-year-old Alex Guenette crossed the line second, followed by L.P. Dumoulin, Anthony Simone and Jeff Lapcevich.
Noel Dowler, Mark Dilley, Andrew Ranger, D.J. Kennington and J.R. Fitzpatrick rounded out the top 10.
Rookie Alex Labbe won his first series pole award in qualifying earlier in the day in just his seventh career start. Labbe led the field to green but was quickly overtaken by Steckly on the backstretch. Labbe stayed close early on, but ultimately exited the event due to problems with his suspension.
Steckly led the first 104 circuits before pitting under caution. He was able to move back to the front on lap 152 and, with the exception of Guenette on lap 219, he led the balance of the event.
Guenette matched his career-best finish, set the first time in this event a year ago, and matched earlier this year at Circuit ICAR.
With a fourth consecutive podium finish, Dumoulin extended his advantage in the season points standings to 251-234 on Fitzpatrick.
Saturday was the first top-five finish of the year for Simone and the second in four starts for Lapcevich.
The event featured nine lead changes among six different drivers and was slowed by six caution flags. Steckly led a race-high 202 laps, which tied his single-race career-high previously recorded last year at Riverside International Speedway.
