Emms started off the night strong, placing second in his first heat, followed by a win in the second qualifier.

Starting on pole for the 30-lap feature, he jumped out to the early lead to pace the first six laps prior to the first caution. He would lose the lead on the restart, slipping back to second till the second yellow flag waved.

Emms got a better restart this time around, taking back the top spot and leading till the third caution flew at Lap 14. The restart saw a battle for the lead between Emms and Chris Milwain, with Milwain taking the top spot on Lap 15 ahead of Emms.

From there on, Emms lost some ground to Milwain as he pulled away for the victory, though managed to keep a gap over the competitors behind him to pick up a runner-up finish.

With six straight top-fives, he currently sits second in the standings, just two points behind Cory Horner for the top spot.

On Friday night at Kawartha Speedway, AJ Emms ran up front throughout the entire 30-lap feature en route to his fifth straight top-five finish.

Emms started off the night solidly, winning his first heat, followed by a fifth-place finish in the second qualifier.

Starting eighth for the feature, he immediately began to make his way to the front, fighting for the second spot side-by-side with Marty Monette on Lap 3. The pair continued to run side-by-side till the first caution flew on Lap 5 as a result of a crash in turns one and two.

Emms got a good restart, battling side-by-side with Cole Powell for the runner-up spot and initially clearing him on Lap 6. However, Powell would then got back alongside Emms on Lap 6, with the caution flying a lap later.

Emms got another good restart, but would slip back to the third position. He’d continue to run there till the next caution flew with just seven laps to go. Fortunately, the final restart did not work as he hoped as he fell back one more spot, crossing the finish line in the fourth spot.

With five straight top-fives, he currently sits second in the standings, just 12 points behind Cory Horner for the top spot.

For AJ Emms, debuting a brand new late model at Sunset Speedway on Saturday night did not go as planned.

Starting off the night, he put together a solid qualifying effort to start 12th for the 35-lap feature. He’d drop back in the early stages, though, running towards the back end of the field. He was then able to avoid a three-car incident at Lap 22.

Restarting 16th with 14 laps left on the board, he’d begin to make some progress forward. However, contact from another competitor resulted in Emms making significant contact with the turn one outside wall, before having another car drive over the hood of his No. 20 Late Model. Thankfully, Emms was uninjured the crash and credited with a 19th-place finish.

While Saturday night did not go according to plan, fortunes will hopefully go in his favor this coming weekend as he will be back behind the wheel of his familiar No. 14 OSCAAR Modified at Flamboro Speedway for the third event of 2017. The Hamilton, Ontario oval has treated him well in his previous two appearances with a pair of runner-up finishes.

A.J. Emms kept the early season momentum rolling at Kawartha Speedway this past weekend, scoring a top-five finish.

He started off the night solidly, picking up a second and a third in his pair of qualifying heats.

Starting sixth in the 30-lap feature, he stayed there through the beginning half of the race, cracking the top-five just past halfway. From there on, he put together solid laps but was unable to catch the top-four en route to a fifth-place finish.

Emms and company will have a couple weeks off before the next OSCAAR Modified event on June 24 at Flamboro Speedway.
