  SOS TOUR HEADS TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO MOTOR SPEEDWAY

  MERLIN, Ont. (May 27, 2023) - The 2023 Southern Ontario Sprints series presented by Tammy 10 Media is back in Chatham-Kent on Saturday night for the first of three scheduled visits to Southern Ontario Motor Speedway this season. The track formerly known as South Buxton Raceway was the site of the first event in SOS history back in 1996, but only a handful of winged Sprint Car races have been run at SOMS since the track was completely reconfigured several years ago; Dylan Westbrook claimed the win in last season's SOS event, while Darren Dryden (Action Sprint Tour) and D.J. Christie (Knights of Thunder) took wins in 2021. A good field is expected to compete in the event, which will now serve as the season opener for the SOS following rainouts at Merrittville and Brighton. Saturday's race now serves as the opener for the Nitro 54 Super Series and will pay $3,000-to-win. The wingless Ontario Traditional Sprints series will also open its season on Saturday at SOMS, and the highest finishing car to run in both the SOS and OTS races will be awarded a $500 bonus! Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm on Saturday, May 27. Visit www.southernontariomotorspeedway.com for more information.

  Tammy 10 Media Southern Ontario Sprints Series Points Fund Continues to Grow

  April 24, 2023 - The Southern Ontario Sprints are thrilled to announce that Tammy 10 Media has once again enlarged their already solid series points fund contribution by approximately $4,000.

In making the announcement, SOS President Peter Turford said, "As a series, we have made several announcements regarding some great up-top purse increases.

"It is a well-established fact that John Brush and his companies, including Tammy Ten Media, are a racer's best friend… not just the top teams, but every team… and today's announcement is positive proof". In giving his reasons for the additional support, John Brush stated, "We at Tammy Ten Media are not just supporters of the sport, but race fans as well; we want to see races with healthy fields and the maximum number of teams competing whenever possible. We want race fans across Southern Ontario to join us at the races, and we want to help showcase the best product possible. Tammy Ten Media is based out of Richmond Hill, Ontario.
