- Hutton Opens ESS Season with First Ever Win at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | The new season for the Empire Super Sprints started out with a new face in victory lane on Friday night at Outlaw Speedway. 305 sprint car standout Jordan Hutton put a 360 into his number 66 and came home victorious. It was his first 360 win, and it was worth $4,220 as part of the Cal Lane Memorial. By virtue of drawing the Pinnacle pole award, Zach Sobotka brought the field to green alongside of Jordan Hutton. Sobotka would jump out to an early lead over Hutton. By the time the field reached the start finish line, however, Jordan Poirier had worked his way to second. A lap later, defending champion Jordan Poirier made his way by Sobotka and took the lead. A caution on lap three for Jason Barney, slowed the field, and when the green came back out Poirier re-took command of the field. As the laps clicked off, Poirier remained in control of the field. By lap 9, however, Hutton had caught Poirier and was able to sneak by him on lap 10 for the lead. After surviving a late-race restart, Hutton would hold on and cross the start/finish line first, claiming his first Empire Super Sprints victory. Behind Hutton, Poirier crossed the line in second and fourth-starting Davie Franek rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third. "On the opening lap there, I got out of two and kinda got a little wheel stand there, I screwed up and let out of it and watched three people go by me," said Hutton in victory lane. "I can't believe how good this car was, I think I was wide open the entire feature. Everywhere I put the car it would go." "This means the world. This is probably one of the hardest things me and my father and everyone involved have had to work for. It took a lot of laps and a lot of racing to get here." With 27 cars in the pits to open the 2026 season, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Dylan Swiernik, Jordan Thomas and Matt Farnham. Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by Jordan Hutton, Davie Franek and Jared Zimbardi, while Trevor Years won the Mechanical Services/Donath Motor Worx dash, and Paulie Colagiovanni picked up the B-Main. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is a new track for the tour, with a stop at the Port Speedway in Port Royal, Pennsylvania on the docket Saturday May 16.

- Empire Super Sprints Kick Off 2026 Friday at Outlaw
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | This Friday, the Empire Super Sprints are set to roar to life for the first time in 2026 at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. Each season the Cal Lane Memorial is scheduled as the season kick-off for the tour, although the last several years have fallen victim to mother nature who has a near-perfect record in the event for its originally scheduled date. The $4,220 to-win main event Friday will honor the late Cal Lane. Brother to six-time ESS Champion Mal Lane, Cal had his own successful career at the Outlaw Speedway dating back to the 1960's. Mal will be in attendance on Friday as well, serving as the Grand Marshall for the event. It is only fitting that the night paying tribute to Cal features both the track and organization that his family have such strong ties to. With a promising forecast thus far for this Friday, all eyes are focused on defending champion Jordan Poirier as he leads the charge. The now five-time champion has yet to score a win at Outlaw, but he looks to change that on Friday as it is the first step towards a sixth series triumph. The last time the Empire Super Sprints visited Outlaw was in the fall of last season, when Davie Franek visited victory lane. Franek's win in the Hoag Memorial was his third in his last five attempts at Outlaw, a track he has had much success at in the past. Franek is off to a hot start already in 2026, having won six of nine races and a championship during the USCS Winter Heat series that took place in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama through February and early March. Racing gets underway in Dundee at 7pm on Friday, with pit gates opening at 5pm and grandstands opening at 5:30pm. A pit pass for the night will be $48, while general grandstand admission is set at $25. For a complete schedule of events for the night, please visit both the Empire Super Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages.
