Cornwall - Jul. 30, 2012 - A historic night at Cornwall Motor Speedway as the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series was in town for the first time ever.

Steve Kinser cracked the top 5 after starting in 12th on lap 23, he got to fourth 2 laps later and had eyes on the leaders. Dollansky and Craig Kinser got together just as Kerry Madsen brought the first caution with only 8 laps to go. Schatz in front as Steve Kinser got second after a good battle with Dollansky. Schatz led wire to wire to win the first ever WOO Sprint Car feature at Cornwall in front of Steve Kinser, Dollansky, Sammy Swindell and Lucas Wolfe completed the top 5.
Shane Pecore was the early leader in the 30-lap Jiffy Auto Services Modified feature, he had Gage Morin as a dancing partner on the inside lane as Marc Therrien was in third. Michel Chicoine brought the first caution on lap 6. Morin had a great start when the green lights came back and took the lead over Pecore as Laurent Ladouceur was now in third. At the halfway point, Morin, Pecore, Ladouceur, Tim O’Brien and Joel Doiron were the top 5. Morin pulled away from the rest of the field with 10 laps to go. Ladouceur passed Pecore for second on lap 24. Roger Levesque got out of turn 2 and caution was out.

Bardier led the final two laps to win over St-Laurent and Couture.
The biggest crowd in history was on hand as several fans were sent to the infield as we ran out of space in the grandstands.
