The event marked the first of three appearances by the Flynn’s Tire/Born2Run Lubricants Touring Series to the 1/3-mile Genesee County Fairgrounds oval in 2021. Despite the weather in the surrounding areas, 28 teams were on hand, which has now been the count for the past three Tour events at Genesee matching the highest Tour count all-time for the Batavia, New York track.

Kyle Hardy had laid down the gauntlet down by sweeping all three “Battle of the Bay” Speedweek events in his home area, the Mid-Atlantic, to open the season; however, since returning home, Jeremy Wonderling has begun to tighten things up. On Saturday night, Wonderling passed Joe Martin on lap 10 and then fended off 2016 Tour champion, John Waters, during the second half of the race to capture his second straight Genesee Tour victory, worth $2,000.
