The 32nd Annual APC Autumn Colours Classic at Peterborough Speedway included the Super Stock division.
The Super Stock category includes a variety of North American makes and models from the ‘60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engine or crate motor from General Motors and Ford. The cars weigh approximately 3,000 lbs, with 55% of the weight distributed to the left side. The division serves as a ‘stepping stone’ for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category. The starting grid for the feature was set after two heat races. The schedule initially called for four heats; however, inclement weather reduced available track time on Saturday. As all Super Stock competitors qualified for the feature, a second round of heats wasn’t necessary. Drivers competed in a fifty-lap contest around ‘Canada’s Toughest 1/3 Mile.’

The driver of the No. 89C Steward’s / London Recreational Racing Chevrolet Camaro was entered in the second heat and finished third. Chenoweth lined up sixth for the feature. He made his way to the front while being pursued by the second-place starter, Daniel Hawn. Chenoweth held on for the victory. |

Daniel Hawn’s focus this season has been the Can-Am Midget Series. Hawn won the 2025 championship, making this his third consecutive title. He does not compete regularly in the No. 42 Tire Depot Chevrolet Camaro but finished third in last season’s Autumn Colours Classic. Hawn was entered in the second qualifier and won. He started second in the finale and chased Shawn Chenoweth for much of the race. Hawn finished second by a margin of 0.655 seconds. |

Finishing third in the Super Stock division at this year’s Autumn Colours Classic was local favourite Marlie Owen. Owen has been conspicuous by her absence this season. She drove the No. 21 R. Brooking Tree Service / Jim’s Auto Repair Chevrolet Camaro in the first heat and finished seventh in the eight-car field. Owen was gridded thirteenth for the fifty-lap contest. She maneuvered her way through the field to cross the finish line in third place. |

He started the feature in the fifth spot but was passed by Shawn Chenoweth and Marlie Owen. However, Zardo got by Paul Boundy, Todd Davenport and Coltin Everingham for a fourth-place result. |
