As the checkered flag fell today in the Kawartha 250 a torch would be passed. Jason Hathaway, a veteran who has started every race in the history of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, closed out his career as a full-time driver winning the season finale, while 16 year-old rookie Cayden Lapcevich celebrated winning the series championship. The Grimsby, Ontario, teenager finished the season 54 points over veteran Andrew Ranger in the largest margin of victory in the standings since 2011. Lapcevich's championship title also broke the all-time NASCAR record as the youngest champion in any NASCAR national or touring series, which was set by 2015 Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano.

every NASCAR Pinty’s Series race since the inaugural season in 2007, scored his last win as a full-time competitor at the same track he scored his first NASCAR Pinty’s Series victory back in 2008. He remained at the point until pitting under caution on Lap 147. Hathaway returned to the track in eighth-place and started making his way through the field once again to retake the lead with 75 laps remaining when he passed Mark Dilley and never looked back. It was Hathaway’s ninth career NASCAR Pinty’s Series win and his third at Kawartha Speedway. For Lapcevich, it was a mere formality that he start the race to secure the title, but he finished second to Hathaway for his eighth podium finish of the season. Alex Labbe finished third with Kennington and L.P. Dumoulin completing the top five. Dilley, Kerry Micks, Alex Tagliani, Gary Klutt and Derek Lynch rounded out the top 10. (NASCAR Hometracks)
