- WESTBROOK WINS $5,000 WITH SOS AT OHSWEKEN
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 27, 2025) - Dylan Westbrook took the win in round two of the Gold Crown Super Series with the Southern Ontario Sprints at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday night.

Bowman held serve on the restart, but Dylan Westbrook drove up to take the lead with nine laps to go after Bowman got caught up in heavy traffic. Westbrook drove away to take the 32nd Southern Ontario Sprints victory of his career, tying him with Rick Wilson atop the all-time win list.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Dayton Pursley overcomes nerves, tough competition
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 1, 2025) - Ask Dayton Pursley about his first Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature win on June 21 at Lucas Oil Speedway and the 22-year-old from nearby Hermitage quickly recalls the nerves. They even carried over to victory lane, where he struggled to enjoy the moment because he couldn't find the words to properly describe his emotions. "I felt like Ricky Robby. I didn't know what to do with my hands," Pursley said with a laugh. "But seriously, it was really cool. With the talent at Wheatland, on a weekly basis, is was awesome. I'm just blessed to race with that group of people and to come out on top that one." Pursley will race for the first time since his memorable victory at this week's Casey's Thursday Night Thunder program when an even deeper, more talented field visits. The Heartland Modified Tour will sanction the main event for the Modifieds, with several United States Modified Touring Series drivers expected for the 25-lap, $2,000-to-win feature. "You can only get better when you race the best, so I enjoy that aspect," Pursley said. Winning at Lucas Oil Speedway is special for Pursley, who grew up coming there to watch his dad, Jason, compete in the Modified division. Dayton picked up his first feature win at the track in 2023, in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod class. Dayton Pursley said it's tough to pick which one is more meaningful. "This one probably topped it because it was in an A-Mod … but the B-Mod was my first win at Lucas, so that probably has a little more meaning," he said. "I don't know. The A-Mod, I think tops it. They're both special." Making the recent win more remarkable, it was only his second time out in the MB Customs car he purchased from Lucas Gibbs. Pursley briefly flirted with a non-wing sprint car earlier this season, driving to an 18th place in a feature at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley. He decided to sell that car a few weeks ago and go back to his roots. "I wanted to try something new," he said of the sprint car. "I had the opportunity to buy one. I've always wanted to race a sprint car since I was young and I had an opportunity so I went and did it. But there's just not enough places to race around home, so I went back to Modifieds." Pursley credited Gibbs and another Modified driver, Tyler Wolff, along with Jason Pursley for their help in getting the right set-up. Dayton only had made about five laps in the car at Wheatland the week prior to his feature win, in which he took the lead early and led the rest of the way - though it wasn't easy. Holding off a hard-charging Dustin Hodges over the final laps tested Pursley's mettle. "I definitely lost focus on the last two," Pursley said. "I was watching the video board and it almost bit me. We were going 25 laps instead of 20, so it was five extra laps to be nervous. The first 23, I was OK. The last two, I knew the competition behind me was so stout that I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if they were on the top or close to me. "I missed my mark the last lap. I was watching the board a little too close." But he held on by a couple of car lengths and took the checkers. "I'm just blessed to have that opportunity to finally get it done," said Pursley, who gets help on the car from his grandfather, Mike Terrell, along with his dad and Wolff. Team sponsors include Loto Boat Lifts, Sweet Temptations, Earl-F-Electric, Tom Campbell Racing. Branch's Construction, Rick Keller Construction, MB Customs, DK Safety Solutions, Lobo Racing and Mach One Motorsports.
