  FARNHAM CLAIMS CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL AT MERRITVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (June 21, 2025) - Merrittville Speedway welcomed the Southern Ontario Sprints series back to the track on Saturday night for the Gary Cunningham Memorial. Matt Farnham found victory lane after an entertaining race. Baily Heard started on the pole with Mike Bowman on his outside to start the 25 lap A-Main. Heard led the first eight laps with Farnham and Bowman in hot pursuit. Farnham's bid for the lead allowed Bowman to follow him through, and Heard then fell into the clutches of DJ Christie. Christie was on the charge and got past Heard on lap 17, but a courageous move on Bowman for second did not work out. Christie spun and brought out the yellow flag, creating a dash to the finish. Farnham looked to have the race in hand, but a spinning car with four laps to go almost spelled disaster for the Western New York driver. Farnham was able to avoid a collision and stayed up front to take the win by 0.940 seconds. Bowman took the runner-up spot, followed by Heard, fifth row starter Josh Hansen, and championship points leader Darren Dryden. Farnham also claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Jacob Dykstra was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. Next on the SOS schedule is a doubleheader weekend with $5,000-to-win Gold Crown Super Series events on Friday, June 27 at Ohsweken Speedway and Saturday, June 28 at Brighton Speedway.

  WESTBROOK TAKES $5,000 SOS WIN AT BUXTON

  MERLIN, Ont. (June 7, 2025) - Dylan Westbrook won the first round of the Gold Crown Super Series with the Southern Ontario Sprints on Saturday night at Buxton Speedway. Westbrook drew the pole position for the 25 lap A-Main and scored the $5,000 win in convincing fashion. The win was Westbrook's second of the weekend following a trip to victory lane at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday. Darren Dryden snagged the runner-up spot by 0.25 seconds over Ryan Turner, while Cory Turner, and DJ Christie rounded out the top five. Ryan Turner claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Skyler Evans was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. Alex Bergeron received the Tilbury Wraps & Signage Long Haul Award for making the long trip to Buxton from Drummondville, Quebec. Cory Turner earned $200 by winning the Dash for Cash. Jamie Turner's trip back to Buxton fresh off a wingless win the previous weekend was an adventure; the veteran driver first had to deal with overheating problems on his way to the track. Next on the SOS schedule is the Gary Cunningham Memorial at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday, June 21.
