  BROCKVILLE'S FALL NATIONALS TO DECIDE 2021 ACTION SPRINT TOUR TITLE

  By Tommy Goudge (October 14, 2021) - The Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series fueled by Pinty's will crown a champion this weekend in the Fall Nationals at Brockville Ontario Speedway. An action-packed weekend is on tap at Brockville, as AST finishes the season at "The Bullring" for a second consecutive year. Nick Sheridan and Jesse Costa claimed Fall Nationals wins at Brockville in 2020, while 27 drivers were set to compete in the first AST points event at Brockville in August before Mother Nature intervened. This weekend's event also features special events for 358 Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Vintage Cars, and a rare afternoon event on Saturday. Drivers and teams from Brockville's new 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car division are looking forward to defending home turf. All-time Southern Ontario Sprints feature win leader "The Joyceville Jet" Rick Wilson and former SOS champion "The General" Lee Ladouceur are now racing in the Crate division. Modified standout Matt Billings has won twice at Brockville in Ryan Hunsinger's #52 Crate Sprint this season and claimed the 2021 track championship, while Ryan Poole is the most recent Brockville winner. Jacob Dykstra heads into the weekend as the AST points leader, and has won 10 out of the 13 AST events held thus far in 2021. Dykstra also won at Brockville earlier this season against the 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car division regulars, while Allan Downey, Nick Sheridan, and Darren Dryden have also claimed AST wins this season. The all-time Action Sprint Tour win list does not feature any drivers from Eastern Ontario or Quebec...yet. EXTRA CASH Drivers will race for some extra cash this weekend at Brockville; a total of 20 travel bonuses of $100 each will be awarded over the two days thanks to 1000 Islands RV Centre and Corr/Pak Merchandising, while Splash Well Drilling will award $50 halfway bonuses each night. CHAMPIONSHIP CHASE Jacob Dykstra leads the AST standings entering the final weekend of 2021, but his advantage shrank considerably after the most recent event at Humberstone Speedway; a crash coupled with a win by Allan Downey cut Dykstra's lead to 32 points heading into Brockville. Nick Sheridan is currently third, 36 points behind Downey, with fourth place Eric Gledhill just 15 points behind Sheridan. Brett Stratford, Lucas Smith, Rob Neely, Darren Dryden, Dereck Lemyre, and Dale Curran make up the remainder of the current top ten.

  STYRES SELECTED FOR CANADIAN MOTORSPORTS HALL OF FAME INDUCTION

  OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 25, 2021) - The Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame announced 16 new inductees on Wednesday; included in the class is Glenn Styres, owner of Ohsweken Speedway and multi-time Sprint Car champion. Styres is one of ten individuals who will be inducted in the Competitors/Motorsport Builders/Team Members/Significant Contributors category, and there is no doubt that he fits the bill in several ways. Styres and his family opened the Ohsweken Speedway in 1996. The track - a real-life "field of dreams" built right next to Glenn's house - has grown from humble beginnings to become one of Canada's premier motorsports facilities. Ohsweken's Friday Night Excitement racing series draws a loyal fanbase and 120 entrants to Six Nations of the Grand River each week, and the track has brought some of the biggest names in auto racing to Southern Ontario. The track's signature event is the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals, one of the largest oval track events in Canada. As a Sprint Car driver, "The Ohsweken Flyer" has 50 A-Main wins and ten championships split between the Southern Ontario Sprints tour and Ohsweken's weekly racing series. One of Styres' biggest victories as a driver came in 2012 when he won the Ronald Laney Memorial "King of the 360's" event at Florida's East Bay Raceway. Styres has also piled up wins as a car owner and, more importantly, fostered the careers of many young drivers. The CMHF Induction Gala is scheduled to take place in February 2022 during the Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS). Additional details regarding the new inductees and the induction gala will be announced in the near future. Please visit www.cmhf.ca for more information. Fans and racers can look forward to several blockbuster events at Ohsweken in 2022, including the dirt track debut of the NASCAR Pinty's Series. Stay tuned to www.ohswekenspeedway.com over the coming months for announcements regarding Ohsweken Speedway's 25th season. About Ohsweken Speedway: Founded in 1996, Ohsweken Speedway is a motorsports complex owned by the Styres family, and located in the village of Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada. Ohsweken's weekly Friday night racing program runs from May to September each year, featuring 360 Sprint Cars, Crate Sprint Cars, Thunder Stocks, and Mini Stocks.

  KNIGHTS OF THUNDER & ACTION SPRINT TOUR HEAD EAST

  By Tommy Goudge (August 20, 2021) - Both of Ontario's touring Sprint Car series are set to head east this weekend; the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series will take on the Brighton Speedway on Saturday night, while the Crate Sprint Cars of the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's will visit Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday and Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday. Anticipation is high for all of the events, as Mother Nature foiled two prior attempts by the Knights of Thunder series to bring Sprint Cars back to Brighton for the first time in nearly two years. The event is a home game for eastern Ontario racers such as Tyler Rand, Chris Jones, and Paul Pekkonen. It is also the closest to Quebec that the series will get this season, allowing current KoT championship points leader Jordan Poirier and his team to make a four hour trip to Northumberland County instead of the seven to eight hour trips they have made for races at Merrittville, Humberstone, and Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. Meanwhile, the Action Sprint Tour will visit Brockville and Cornwall for the first time in the four year history of the series. Drivers and teams from Brockville's new 1000 Islands RV Crate Sprint Car division are looking forward to defending home turf; all-time Southern Ontario Sprints feature win leader "The Joyceville Jet" Rick Wilson and former SOS champion "The General" Lee Ladouceur are now racing in the Crate division, while Modified standout Matt Billings has won twice at Brockville in Ryan Hunsinger's #52 Crate Sprint this season and leads the championship standings there. Several Quebec teams are also planning to compete in both weekend events. CHAMPIONSHIP CHASES Jordan Poirier has a 49 point cushion in the Knights of Thunder standings over Ryan Turner and Jim Huppunen who are tied for second. Aaron Turkey and Cory Turner round out the current top five, with Travis Cunningham, Josh Hansen, Tyler Rand, Jamie Turner, and Liam Martin holding top ten spots. Jacob Dykstra holds a 46 point lead in the Action Sprint Tour standings following his fourth AST win of the season, while Allan Downey is currently second, followed by Nick Sheridan, Brett Stratford, and Lucas Smith. The top ten is rounded out with Jesse Costa, Eric Gledhill, Curtis Gartly, Dereck Lemyre. TICKETS Spectators ARE permitted at both events this weekend!

  KNIGHTS OF THUNDER AND ACTION SPRINT TOUR HEAD BACK TO MERRITTVILLE

  By Tommy Goudge (August 13, 2021) - Another busy weekend is coming up for Ontario's Sprint Car teams. The Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series is set to race on Friday at Merrittville Speedway, while the Crate Sprint Cars of the Action Sprint Tour Fueled by Pinty's will race at Merrittville on Friday and Saturday. The Knights of Thunder drivers will have an extra challenge with Dylan Westbrook competing in the Glenn Styres Racing #0 car. Merrittville has hosted a pair of combined KoT/AST events this season, and Jordan Poirier has taken both Knights of Thunder wins while Jacob Dykstra and Nick Sheridan have split the Action Sprint Tour wins. Poirier and Dykstra have matching records in their respective series, as Poirier has won four of five attempts and added a runner-up, and Dykstra has won three of four with a runner-up. Poirier and Dykstra both saw their win streaks snapped in their most recent events though, as DJ Christie won the KoT event at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway last Saturday, and Nick Sheridan won the AST event last Friday at Merrittville. Dylan Westbrook has won twice on the ASCS National tour this season and also claimed his first Knoxville Raceway win in June. The three-time Ohsweken Speedway track champion and two-time SOS titlist will be a formidable foe for the Knights of Thunder series regulars on Friday; the 22-year-old also has four Merrittville wins on his resume. CHAMPIONSHIP CHASES Jordan Poirier has a 49 point cushion in the Knights of Thunder standings over Ryan Turner and Jim Huppunen who are tied for second. Aaron Turkey and Cory Turner round out the current top five, with Travis Cunningham, Josh Hansen, Tyler Rand, Jamie Turner, and Liam Martin holding top ten spots. Jacob Dykstra holds a 39 point lead in the Action Sprint Tour standings, while Sheridan's win moved him into a tie for second with Allan Downey. Lucas Smith is currently fourth, while Brett Stratford and Curtis Gartly are tied for fifth. Eric Gledhill moved up to seventh with his first career podium finish last Friday, while Jesse Costa, Rob Neely, and Dereck Lemyre hold the remaining spots in the top ten. THEY SAID IT Jim Huppunen and Jordan Poirier put on a show racing for the win at Merrittville in last Friday's Knights of Thunder A-Main, and Huppunen is enjoying the additional opportunities this year to race at the track he grew up at. "It's definitely a cool experience to race more at Merrittville this year," Huppunen told Knights of Thunder media this week. "I live seven minutes away, so the minimum travel is great! I grew up going to Merrittville every Saturday night, along with Humberstone and Ransomville. My old man was involved in racing since way before I was born, building and fixing cars for a number of competitors throughout the years, and my brother Tom had some success at Merrittville in the Sportsman division in the early 90's before getting into Sprint Cars." The two-time Ohsweken Speedway track champion claimed his first Merrittville Sprint Car win in 2018, and enjoys the challenge of the D-shaped 1/3 mile track. "Obviously getting a win a couple of years ago was special due to the history at the speedway," Huppunen said. "I hope to get a few more before I hang up the helmet. I believe the track is challenging no matter what type of car you are in; it has a unique shape that is tricky to get a handle on. Obviously the Sprint Cars are the fastest cars that run on the track currently, so that makes for a challenge to run consistent fast laps. It is a fun and challenging track that I enjoy visiting; with the additional races there this year, it just helps our program all around and I look forward to the remaining races." Jacob Dykstra is another local racer who is enjoying the extra Merrittville races on this year's schedule. The 18-year-old driver has won three of the nine Action Sprint Tour A-Mains run at Merrittville since the tour's inception in 2018. "I love racing at Merritville," Dykstra told Knights of Thunder media. "It's one of my home tracks that I have lots of laps around, and from a young age my dad has drilled into my brain to find the fastest way around; Merritville is just one of the tracks I can do that very well on. I'm a really aggressive racer (and) it just suits my driving style very well." TICKETS Spectators ARE permitted at both events this weekend, and Merrittville's party patio and private boxes are available along with grandstand tickets. The Hoosier Stock and Four Cylinder divisions will also be in action on Friday, while 358 Modifieds, Hoosier Stocks, Mod Lites, Four Cylinders, and V6's are on the Saturday card.

LIVE BROADCAST GForceTV will be broadcasting live from Merrittville on Friday night, and Saturday's action will be taped and uploaded for viewing on Sunday night.
