  CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE THIS WEEKEND FOR KNIGHTS OF THUNDER & ACTION SPRINT TOUR

  (September 29, 2022) - Champions will be crowned in the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series and the Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Cars fueled by Pinty's this weekend at Humberstone Speedway! The Fall Classic weekend features two full race nights at Humberstone, and the last chance to see Sprint Cars in Ontario this year. Several drivers are vying for championships in each series, and extra cash is on the line this weekend thanks to Nitro 54 Variety as well; each Knights of Thunder A-Main will pay the winner $3,000, each Action Sprint Tour A-Main will pay the winner $1,500, and an extra $3,000 will be distributed in the top five of the Knights of Thunder events. The champions of each series will earn $5,000 and a Pinty's VIP package for the 2023 Bristol Dirt Race, and both championship chases remain close heading into the weekend. A minimum of $1,000 will be paid to each driver in the top ten as well. Mitch Brown has a five point advantage over Cory Turner in the Knights of Thunder standings, with Ryan Turner 13 points behind his brother. Josh Hansen, Nick Sheridan, Liam Martin, Tyler Rand, Jake Brown, Glenn Styres, and Aaron Turkey hold the remaining spots in the top ten; D.J. Christie and Shone Evans are both close behind Styres and Turkey, with just 25 points separating ninth from 12th. Brown won the KoT opener at Humberstone in June, with both Turner brothers on the podium. All three drivers are looking for their first Knights of Thunder titles. Jacob Dykstra heads into the weekend with a 19 point lead over Darren Dryden in the Action Sprint Tour standings, with Mathieu Bardier 12 points behind Dryden. The remainder of the current top ten consists of Jonah Mutton, Johnny Miller, Tyeller Powless, Allan Downey, Seth Roy, Ashton VanEvery, and Brian Nanticoke. Mike Bowman and Brett Stratford are currently 11th and 12th, and still have a chance to bump themselves into the top ten. A Modified champ turned Sprint Car rookie, Bowman has six AST wins this season, the first of which came at Humberstone in June. Bardier and Dryden were on the podium in that event, while Dykstra charged from the tail to finish sixth after a crash early in the race. Special events for Late Models, Sportsman Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Mini Stocks will be held over the weekend as well, and free camping is available.

  BOWMAN WINS INAUGURAL CANADIAN CRATE SPRINT CAR NATIONALS; THOMAS TAKES KNIGHTS OF THUNDER VICTORY

  OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 16, 2022) - Mike Bowman took the win in the Inaugural Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals on Friday night at Ohsweken Speedway, while Jordan Thomas was the victor in the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car Series event. A total of 76 drivers competed in Friday's event presented by Nitro 54 Variety, including 43 Crate Sprint Cars and 33 360 Sprint Cars. Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals Crate Sprint Cars Steve Murdock and Darren Dryden earned front row starting spots for the 30 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main, and Dryden led the first lap before Mike Bowman slipped past on lap three. Bowman's pass was negated, however, by a yellow flag for the stopped car of Tyler Ward on the frontstretch. Several drivers made significant gains in the first two laps, including Curtis Gartly who had picked up nine spots. Dryden kept the lead on the restart, but the race came to a halt when Matt Billings flipped on the frontstretch with three laps complete. Bowman again looked poised to make a pass for the lead after the restart, but a melee ensued when Eric Gledhill and Gartly got together and brought out the yellow flag; Gartly and Brian Nanticoke got the worst of the exchange and were done for the night. Dryden, Bowman, Jesse Costa, Murdock, and Dale Curran made up the top five for the next restart, and Bowman again went to work in an effort to take the lead from Dryden. While the leaders raced, AST points leader Jacob Dykstra moved back into the top five, passing both Curran and Murdock in quick succession. Dryden, Bowman, and Costa raced close together over the next few laps, with Dryden running the low groove and Bowman up high. Bowman then dove low on Dryden in turn one with eight laps complete, but couldn't make the move stick. The leaders caught the tail end of the field with nine laps complete, and Dykstra was able to move past Costa into third as the two negotiated traffic. Dryden briefly opened a gap, but Bowman and Dykstra ran him down again. A joust for second was cut short when Lucas Smith spun off the track in turn four to bring out another yellow flag with 14 laps complete. The yellow was a reprieve for AST championship contender Mathieu Bardier, who had just gone a lap down. Bowman yet again went after Dryden on the restart, only to see the red flag come out again for a hard Tyeller Powless flip in turn three. Bowman continued to challenge Dryden for the lead when the race restarted, using the outside line while Dryden stayed in the middle of the track and kept Bowman at bay. Murdock re-entered the top three at this point, getting around Dykstra before another yellow appeared for Seth Roy. Murdock then drove around the outside of Bowman on the restart, only to see that move negated when Eric Gledhill spun and collected Adrian Stahle. Bowman finally got past Dryden after the next restart, but Dryden stayed close behind as the two raced through traffic. Bowman stayed ahead though, leading the final nine laps through one more restart to collect the win and write his name in the record books. Given the choice between $5,000 or a brand new crate engine in victory lane, Bowman chose the engine and left the cash for Saturday night's winner. Dryden fought Murdock off to take the runner-up spot, with Murdock taking the final podium spot. Dykstra crossed the line in fourth but came up a few pounds light at the scales and was disqualified. Costa and Curran got credit for fourth and fifth as a result, while Lee Ladouceur, Allan Downey, Darrell Pelletier, Sheldon Bender, and Johnny Miller rounded out the top ten. ________________________ Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Cars Jordan Thomas and Liam Martin drew front row starting spots for the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main, and traded several slide jobs when the green flag appeared. Martin eventually settled in to the lead, but Thomas chased him back down as the two raced through traffic. Martin and Thomas both searched the track and sometimes slid high while trying to get through the slower cars; Thomas eventually dove low on Martin in turn three to take the lead with 15 laps complete. Thomas drove away to claim the win in the race which went green-to-checkered in less than six and a half minutes. Martin settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Josh Hansen, Chuck Hebing, and row seven starter Paulie Colagiovanni. ________________________ Ohsweken Speedway Statistical Report Friday, September 16, 2022 Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada Inaugural Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals presented by Nitro 54 Variety Total Entries: 76 ________________________ Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals Crate Sprint Cars (43 Entries) (Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Cars) A-Main [Started] 30 laps - NT 1. 71-Mike Bowman[4]; 2. 12DD-Darren Dryden[2]; 3. 2M-Steve Murdock[1]; 4. 52-Jesse Costa[6]; 5. 31-Dale Curran[3]; 6. 51L-Lee Ladouceur[7]; 7. 19D-Allan Downey[21]; 8. 4B-Darrell Pelletier[19]; 9. 97-Sheldon Bender[16]; 10. 20-Johnny Miller[17]; 11. 74-Rob Neely[22]; 12. 77E-Ashton VanEvery[30]; 13. 49L-Lucas Smith[9]; 14. 19-Mathieu Bardier[10]; 15. 14-Larry Gledhill[8]; 16. 16R-Seth Roy[11]; 17. 94-Ryan Fraser[18]; 18. 51-Trevor Young[24]; 19. 26-John Verney[29]; 20.

  RYAN TURNER CLAIMS 18TH RUNNING OF THE CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS; BOWMAN COMPLETES AST SWEEP

  OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 17, 2022) - Ryan Turner claimed $10,000 and the second Canadian Sprint Car Nationals win of his career on Saturday night at Ohsweken Speedway, while Mike Bowman was the victor in the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Car event. A total of 74 drivers competed in the 18th Running of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals presented by Nitro 54 Variety and Arrow Express, including 36 360 Sprint Cars and 38 Crate Sprint Cars. Canadian Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Cars Mikey Kruchka and Jordan Poirier earned front row starting spots for the 35 lap CSCN A-Main, both looking for their first Canadian Sprint Car Nationals win. Poirier took command early, looking to follow in his uncle Steve's footsteps. Paulie Colagiovanni took the second spot from Kruchka on lap two and went after Poirier. The leaders were already beginning to close in on traffic on lap five, but got a reprieve when Nick Sheridan brought out the yellow flag with a broken rear end. The double-file restart gave Colagiovanni a shot at the lead, but Poirier took command again while Ryan Turner moved into third past Kruchka. Colagiovanni was close behind Poirier and looking to pounce, but the race was slowed again on lap eight when Lynton Jeffrey and Chuck Hebing made contact on the frontstretch; Jeffrey's car suffered significant front end damage and put the Australian driver out of the race. D.J. Christie also stopped on the track with left front suspension damage which eventually ended his race. Poirier, Colagiovanni, and Turner restarted in the top three, while Liam Martin, Kruchka, and Kyle Phillips made up the other half of the top six. Martin powered around the outside on the restart, but got pinched between Colagiovanni and the backstretch wall; the contact was enough to break Martin's rear end and bring out another yellow flag. Poirier held serve on the next restart with Colagiovanni close behind, while Phillips and Turner diced for third. Row 12 starter Jason Barney moved into the top five, while Friday night winner Jordan Thomas also moved past Kruchka. The next yellow flag came out with 11 laps complete when Todd Hoddick stopped on the track with a mechanical issue. Colagiovanni took the lead away from Poirier on the restart, while Poirier fell into the clutches of Ryan Turner. A slide job on lap 18 briefly got Turner past Poirier and in a position to challenge Colagiovanni just as they started to encounter traffic. Poirier's counter was cut short when Barney caught the frontstretch wall and flipped violently. Barney was shaken up, but able to walk away from his badly-damaged car. Going back to the last completed lap put Poirier back into second, and he subsequently inherited the lead when a fuel leak during the stoppage forced Colagiovanni to the pit area and ended his bid for a second CSCN victory. The race restarted just short of the halfway mark with Poirier leading, followed by Ryan Turner, Phillips, Kruchka, and Thomas. Poirier held the lead again, while Kruchka drove around the outside of Phillips to take third. Turner went after Poirier and took the lead as the two were lapping Dale Gosselin in turn two with 11 laps remaining, and Kruchka then took second from Poirier on the next lap. Another yellow flag appeared on lap 30 when Ryan Coniam spun in turn four. The single-file restart with five laps left saw Turner, Kruchka, Poirier, Phillips, and Hebing in the top five. Turner doggedly stuck to the low side of the track while Kruchka searched for a way past on the outside. Kruchka made a bold move on lap 34 diving low between Turner and the inside wall in turn one, but Kruchka slid high and Turner drove back around him. Poirier got a shot at Kruchka while Turner drove under the white flag, but Phillips stopped high in turn four to bring out the yellow flag and force a one lap dash to the finish. Turner had a good restart and drove to the win with Kruchka settling for the runner-up spot. Hebing slipped past Poirier on the last lap to claim the final podium spot, while Mitch Brown rounded out the top five. Josh Hansen, Cory Turner, Jordan Thomas, Glenn Styres, and Baily Heard rounded out the top ten. The unique circumstances of 2022 allowed Turner to claim two Canadian Sprint Car Nationals wins in one season, a feat that is unlikely to ever be possible again. He also did it with two different cars and two different teams following his move to the No. 15 in August. "I think we've just been gaining speed and winning this race shows just how much we've really been gaining," Turner exclaimed. "Our crew killed it all night; they were thrashing right before we went out, changing tires, changing rims. They worked their butts off." Kruchka wasn't unhappy with second and the $5,000 payday, but wished the race had stayed green. Still, it was a good finish for the veteran driver who has had his share of CSCN heartbreak in the past. "It's frustrating because we only get typically one shot at this a year, and then to come so close…" lamented Kruchka. "I'm sure I had a better car running around the top; I just I knew it was going to be a long race and I packed it full of fuel but I was scared to pack it too much because sometimes you get a stumble at the start. I didn't need that last caution…with the momentum I think we would have been alright, but (on the restart) I got a couple bumbles and I was just praying to hang on to second." Chuck Hebing added to his illustrious Canadian Sprint Car Nationals resume with his sixth top-five CSCN finish and third podium. "We survived…a couple of the guys had trouble up front," Hebing observed. "We were better on cold tires than we were on hot tires; you know we haven't been up here in so long and we will make some changes for next time, but it was good to be back." ________________________ Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Cars Lucas Smith and Austin Roes drew front row starting spots for the 25 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. A $5,000 prize awaited the winner, as Mike Bowman chose the brand new crate engine as his prize for winning the Canadian Crate Nationals the previous night. Jacob Dykstra took the lead and was looking to regain some of the advantage he lost in the AST points standings following his disqualification on Friday night. The only major incident of the race occurred when John Cadman clipped the frontstretch wall and flipped hard. The veteran of pavement racing emerged uninjured and vowed to return for more fun on the dirt. AST championship contender Mathieu Bardier brought out a yellow flag just past the halfway mark, briefly heading to the pit area before salvaging a 16th place finish. Bowman had fallen back early in the race but charged forward after the yellow flag, using traffic to catch and pass Smith, Steve Murdock, and Dykstra to take the win and sweep the weekend. Dykstra settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Murdock, Smith, and Darren Dryden, another AST championship hopeful. Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway Ohsweken Speedway will officially wrap-up its 2022 season in November with the annual Night of Champions Award Celebration. The 2022 division champions and top points finishers in all four weekly Friday Night Excitement divisions will receive their awards and cash from the championship points fund.

  OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY SET TO FINISH 2022 SEASON WITH CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS

  OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 15, 2022) - The 25th season of racing at Ohsweken Speedway concludes this weekend with the Inaugural Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals, and 18th Running of the Canadian (360) Sprint Car Nationals! The largest gathering of Sprint Cars anywhere in the country since 2019 is anticipated this weekend; 40 cars are pre-entered in both the Crate Sprint Car and 360 Sprint Car divisions, with big money and prestige on the line for both. On-track activities commence with the traditional CSCN Test & Tune practice night on Thursday, September 15, followed by the Inaugural Canadian Crate Sprint Car Nationals on Friday, September 16, and 18th Running of the Canadian (360) Sprint Car Nationals on Saturday, September 17. 18TH RUNNING OF THE CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS PRESENTED BY NITRO 54 AND ARROW EXPRESS Saturday's event features teams from the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series, Ohsweken Speedway Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car division, Empire Super Sprints, Patriot Sprint Tour, and Southern Ontario Sprints. The A-Main winner will receive $10,000 and the prestigious title of Canadian Sprint Car Nationals victor, while all A-Main starters will receive a minimum of $1,000, and several special contingency awards are up for grabs. A full Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Car event is also on the Saturday schedule, with the winner set to claim either $5,000 or a brand new crate engine - whichever isn't claimed on Friday. Mitch Brown leads the Knights of Thunder standings by just five points over Cory Turner heading into the weekend, while 2019 Strickland's Crate Sprint Car champion Nick Sheridan is eight points behind Turner. Brown is looking for a second Sprint Car championship to go with his 2015 SOS title, while Turner recently clinched both the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak and SOS championships for 2022. Liam Martin has three Ohsweken wins this season, while Paulie Colagiovanni, Josh Hansen, Cory Turner, and Ryan Turner have two each, and Mikey Kruchka has one. Dunnville, Ontario driver Ryan Turner and Paulie Colagiovanni of Cicero, New York claimed the 16th and 17th editions of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals on July 1 and August 15, respectively. Those drivers will face stiff competition from the likes of Quebec drivers Jordan Poirier and Dale Gosselin, New Yorkers Chuck Hebing, Jason Barney, and Matt Farnham, Pennsylvanian Jordan Thomas, and many more. Poirier leads the ESS points standings heading into the weekend, and claimed the Knights of Thunder championship in 2021. Hebing is one of only 20 drivers to lead at least one lap in the CSCN A-Main, and has ten CSCN top ten finishes in 14 previous attempts. Barney and Thomas each have three CSCN top fives on their resumes, while Farnham was the runner-up in his first CSCN A-Main in 2019 after only a handful of 360 Sprint Car starts. Gosselin will be making his second CSCN attempt and claimed his first Knights of Thunder win at Brighton Speedway on Labour Day weekend. Several drivers will be making their CSCN debuts and contending for the Rookie of the Nationals award this weekend, including Australian-turned-Iowan Lynton Jeffrey, and Kyle Phillips from Grand Island, New York; Phillips narrowly missed taking the SOS championship last weekend. INAUGURAL CANADIAN CRATE NATIONALS PRESENTED BY NITRO 54 Friday's event features the Crate Sprint Cars of the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's competing for a lucrative purse - the A-Main winner will be given the choice between a $5,000 prize or a brand new crate engine - and several special contingency awards. A full $3,000-to-win Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car event is also on the Friday schedule. Jacob Dykstra leads the Action Sprint Tour standings heading into the weekend, while Lucas Smith will defend home turf as the 2022 Strickland's Crate Sprint Car division champion. Darren Dryden has four Ohsweken wins under his belt this season, while Smith has three, Mike Bowman has two, and Dykstra and Eric Gledhill have one each. Brett Stratford and Jesse Costa were consistent contenders all year at Ohsweken, and took top five finishes in the points standings; both will be looking for their first wins of the season this weekend. Several eastern Ontario drivers are sure to factor into the outcome, including Matt Billings, Lee Ladouceur, Jonah Mutton, while Quebec driver Mathieu Bardier has been a consistent AST contender as well. Dale Curran is also likely to be a contender; the Bowmanville, Ontario driver spent part of the season racing in California, and returned to claim his first Crate Sprint Car feature win on Labour Day weekend at Brighton Speedway.

  DYKSTRA OPENS BROCKVILLE WEEKEND WITH AST WIN

  BROCKVILLE, Ont. (September 9, 2022) - Jacob Dykstra was back in victory lane after an Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's event on Friday night, this time at Brockville Ontario Speedway. The first of two weekend events for AST at Brockville began with Lee Ladouceur and Jacob Dykstra on the front row. Dykstra wasted no time taking the lead, but row four starter Matt Billings was on the move. Dykstra led flag-to-flag, but Billings made a late charge to cross the finish line second. Ladouceur ended up being scored as the runner-up, however, as Billings' car was too light at the scales. Darren Dryden took the final podium spot from row five, followed by Mathieu Bardier and Ashton VanEvery.

This gave Mike Bowman a chance to take his fifth AST win, but Dykstra was too strong and drove off to take his third AST win of the season. Bowman took the runner-up spot, followed by Brett Stratford, Mathieu Bardier, and Darren Dryden. The win moved Dykstra back to the Action Sprint Tour championship points lead by six markers over Bardier.

  BARDIER TAKES FIRST ACTION SPRINT TOUR VICTORY AT BROCKVILLE; CORNWALL RAINED OUT

  BROCKVILLE, Ont. (August 20, 2022) - Mathieu Bardier took his first Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's victory on Saturday night at Brockville Ontario Speedway, becoming the first Quebec driver to take an AST win in the process. Matt Billings and Mathieu Bardier started on the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Bardier quickly opened a gap on the field. Billings, Luke Stewart, Lee Ladouceur and Darren Dryden made up the remainder of the top five in the early going. Bardier had a big lead when Dryden got off track in turn four to bring out the yellow flag on lap 11. Bardier continued to lead after the restart, but Ladouceur moved past Billings for the second position and went after Bardier. Traffic became a factor with five laps to go, but Bardier would not be denied his first Action Sprint Tour victory. Ladouceur locked down the runner-up spot, while Jacob Dykstra stole the final podium spot from Stewart, and Billings rounded out the top five. The win was Bardier's fourth at Brockville this season, but Ryan Poole was honored at intermission as the 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car track champion at Brockville for 2022.

  CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS MONDAY, PINTY'S 100 TUESDAY AT OHSWEKEN

  OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 15, 2022) - Two special events highlight Ohsweken Speedway's 25th season of racing this week, with the 17th Running of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals set for Monday, August 15 and the inaugural Pinty's 100 for the NASCAR Pinty's Series on Tuesday, August 16. The second of three Canadian Sprint Car Nationals this season, Monday's Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car event is presented by Burger Barn, pays $10,000 to the winner, and features a star-studded entry list. NASCAR and dirt racing standouts Christopher Bell and Stewart Friesen will make their CSCN debuts, though both have previous Ohsweken wins on their resumes; Friesen's victory is especially notable as it came against the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series and was the first WoO win by a Canadian on home turf. Bell and Friesen will have plenty of competition from a very tough field of regional 360 Sprint Car drivers. Ryan Turner became the first Ontarian with a CSCN victory when he won the 16th Running of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals on July 1 and heads into the event with a new team - the Nitro 54 No. 15 owned by Dan Nanticoke. Turner has been locked into a season-long championship fight with his brother Cory, who currently leads Ryan by just five points in the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak Sprint Car standings. Four-time Ohsweken track champ Dylan Westbrook took a podium finish on July 1 and comes into Monday's event fresh off his Knoxville Nationals debut, while New York driver Matt Farnham has a pair of top five finishes in his two CSCN starts. 2021 Knights of Thunder series champ Jordan Poirier leads the Quebec contingent back to Ohsweken, while Jason Barney is another New Yorker with a very strong CSCN resume. The emergence of young drivers has also been a theme of the 2022 Sprint Car season, as Crate Sprint Car grads Josh Hansen, Liam Martin, and Nick Sheridan have consistently challenged for wins, while 2021 Action Sprint Tour champ Jacob Dykstra and Australian Brayden Cooley have been steadily gaining speed each week. Veterans such as Glenn Styres, Jim Huppunen, Mikey Kruchka, brothers Mitch and Jake Brown, Todd Hoddick, and Ryan Coniam are also more than capable of challenging for the win as well; Coniam charged from row eight to finish sixth in the July 1 CSCN event. Meanwhile, Tuesday's event features the long-awaited dirt track debut of Canada's premier stock car tour, the NASCAR Pinty's Series. The inaugural Pinty's 100 will pay a whopping $25,000-to-win, and features an eclectic field of drivers. Christopher Bell and Stewart Friesen will be back in action with fellow NASCAR star and dirt track ace Ken Schrader joining the fun. Fans of Ohsweken Speedway's Friday Night Excitement program will have several drivers to root for in the Pinty's 100 as well, including five time Sprint Car champ and Pinty's Series rookie Glenn Styres, five time Thunder Stock champ Dave Bailey, and Sprint Car standout Aaron Turkey. Several of the Pinty's Series regulars have been racing and testing - and sometimes winning - on dirt tracks across the country in preparation for the Pinty's 100, which will be contested in three stages; two 25 lap stages will comprise the first half, with a 50 lap stage to finish. Heat races will set the feature lineup on Tuesday, while the NPS drivers will compete for extra cash on Monday night in the Qwick Wick Hot Lap Dash. The NASCAR Pinty's Series contingent is led by points leader D.J. Kennington, while Marc-Antoine Camirand, Kevin Lacroix, L.P. Dumoulin, former IndyCar competitors Alex Tagliani and Andrew Ranger, Brandon Watson, Treyten Lapcevich, Gary Klutt, J.P. Bergeron, and Sam Fellows are just some of the others looking to prove they have what it takes on dirt. The Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series will also compete on Tuesday night, while the Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series fueled by Pinty's will race both Monday and Tuesday. Ryan Turner, Cory Turner, Mack DeMan, and Nick Sheridan make up the current KoT top five, while Jacob Dykstra, Mathieu Bardier, Allan Downey, Darren Dryden, and Brett Stratford have top five spots in the AST standings.

  BOWMAN BAGS MERRITTVILLE ACTION SPRINT TOUR WIN

  THOROLD, Ont. (July 16, 2022) - Mike Bowman took his second Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's A-Main win of the season on Saturday night at Merrittville Speedway. Austin Roes and Mathieu Bardier led the field to the green flag for the 25 lap A-Main, and Bardier took the early lead. Every time Bardier was able to build a lead however, caution flags brought the field back to him. Eventually Mike Bowman, the 2021 Merrittville Modified champion, worked his way to the front from row four. Bowman surprised Bardier by making the winning pass on the outside with Bardier firmly committed to the bottom. Row five starter Jacob Dykstra also got by Bardier for second after a late restart, but ran out of time to catch Bowman. The win was Bowman's first in a Crate Sprint Car at Merrittville, and his second AST victory. Dykstra and Bardier took podium finishes, followed by Steven Beckett and row seven starter Allan Downey. The top five finish was a reward for Downey and his crew who spent the day building a car following a grinding crash in weekly competition at Ohsweken on Friday night. Heat race wins went to Bardier, Bowman, and Seth Roy, another driver who had to thrash due to crash damage the previous night. The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Monday, August 15 at Ohsweken Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.
