HOLLAND, N.Y. – Two-time defending NASCAR Busch North Series Champion and Cherryfield native Andy Santerre scored his third victory of the season Saturday night in the Sunoco 150 at Holland International Speedway.

With his win, Santerre extends his point lead to 39 points over Olsen after six races.
