2025-07-03 00:26

BRIGHTON, Ont. (June 28, 2025) - Ryan Turner took the win in round three of the Gold Crown Super Series with the Southern Ontario Sprints at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night. The win was worth $5,000 thanks to Nitro 54 Variety, Tammy 10 Media, and Ackland Insurance.

Ryan Turner and Matt Billings made up the front row for the 25-lap main event. Turner took off at the drop of the green flag and was hooked up on the high side while championship leader Darren Dryden tried to hunt him down. Dale Curran, Liam Martin, and Billings put on an entertaining race for third behind the two leaders.

Determined to score a win, Turner was flawless from start to finish as he flew to victory lane, leaving Dryden to settle for second. Billings placed third, Martin fourth, and Curran fifth. Tyeller Powless, Baily Heard, Ashton VanEvery, Evan Reynolds, and Alex Bergeron took top ten finishes; Scott Hall was running well inside the top ten, but had problems late in the race.

Dryden claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Reynolds was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner.

The next SOS event is scheduled for Saturday, July 12 at Buxton Speedway. Please visit www.southernontariosprints.ca for race results, points standings, and more information about the Southern Ontario Sprints.
