- Franek Earns $4,000 in ESS Season Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints hit the track at the Outlaw Speedway on Friday night. 'No Panic' Davie Franek backed up his triumph back in July at the 4/10 mile oval with another trip to victory lane, earning $4,000 along the way. Franek would draw the Pinnacle pole award, and line up alongside of Josh Hansen for the 25-lap main event. Hansen took the lead early, using the high side of the track to open up a decent gap between himself and Franek, while Sammy Reakes IV fell into third. Hansen continued to set a torrid pace out front, and survived a few restarts early in the event that saw Franek line back up alongside of him. By lap 10, 7th-starting DJ Christie had worked his way into the top three, following Hansen and Franek. As the laps clicked off, Franek started to slowly cut into Hansen's lead. On lap 15, Franek had caught Hansen as the duo worked through lap traffic. Using the outside lane through turns one and two, Franek was able to get by Hansen to take the lead. Through the final 10 laps, the leaderboard would remain unchanged, and Franek took the checkers first over Josh Hansen. DJ Christie rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third, while A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger of the night Jordan Hutton came home fourth and Sammy Reakes IV completed the top five. With $4,000 on the line Friday night along with a $5,000 bonus if a driver could win both Friday in the 360 and Saturday in a 305 at Outlaw, 50 cars signed into the pits for the final night of action in 2025. The field was split into 6 timed hot lap groups with DJ Christie, Davie Franek, Ryan Turner, Sammy Reakes IV, Spencer Burley and Dalton Rombough earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins went to DJ Christie, Davie Franek, Ryan Turner, Jason Barney, Jonathan Preston and Dalton Rombough. Lacaillade Masonry B-Mains were won by Chase Moran and Shawn Donath. The final event on the schedule for the Empire Super Sprints in 2025 is the annual rules meeting and awards banquet at Vernon Downs Hotel and Casino on Saturday November 15.

- Big Money On The Line in ESS Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints are set to take the track on Friday at the Outlaw Speedway. As part of the annual Hoag Memorial weekend, Fridays main event will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start, with $100 of tow money offered to drivers that don't make the show. Fridays event is also part of a two day challenge. Saturday, the CRSA 305 sprints will take the track in another $4,000 to win affair, and a $5,000 bonus has been put up for any driver that wins on Friday in 360 competition with the Empire Super Sprints and Saturday in 305 competition with the CRSA Sprints. If successful, one driver could leave the weekend with $13,000. Two separate point funds have been set aside this weekend as well, one for any driver that competes Friday in a 360 and Saturday in a 305, along with one for any driver that competes in a 305 both nights. As Fridays event is an Empire Super Sprints sanctioned event, all cars competing will need to adhere to the ESS rulebook, including having front axle tethers and running an HTC plated Medium 1 tire. Cars competing in the Saturday portion will similarly need to adhere to the CRSA rulebook. Leading the charge into the weekend is Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Empire Super Sprints win back in September at the Outlaw Speedway. Thomas is expected to have a 305 under the hood Saturday as well, in hopes of taking home the $13,000 if he can complete the weekend sweep. As the 2025 points season concluded two weeks ago at the Fulton Speedway where Jordan Poirier was crowned the champion, Friday's event at Outlaw will not award points and the standings are considered final. Gate times, prices, a schedule of events and any other pertinent information for this weekend's activities can be found on the Empire Super Sprints, CRSA Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages, along with each organizations web pages.
