RYAN TURNER WINS SOS SEASON FINALE AT MERRITTVILLE; CORY TURNER CLAIMS 2022 CHAMPIONSHIP
THOROLD, Ont. (September 10, 2022) - Ryan Turner claimed the A-Main win in the final Southern Ontario Sprints points race of the season Saturday night at Merrittville Speedway. Ryan's brother Cory Turner took a fourth place finish on Saturday to clinch the 2022 Southern Ontario Sprints championship. Kyle Phillips entered the event with a one point lead over Cory Turner in the championship standings, while several others still had title chances as well. Phillips added two points to his advantage by winning his heat race, and the two started side-by-side in row three for the A-Main. Teammates Ryan Turner and Liam Martin started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row, and Martin took the lead and opened a big gap on the field. A yellow flag negated Martin's advantage on lap six, however. Turner gave chase after the restart and began to close in again as the leaders negotiated traffic. The traffic brought Martin back within striking distance and Turner made the winning move with six laps remaining. Mitch Brown subsequently got past Martin and began to run Turner down, but ran out of time. Ryan Turner took the win, followed by Mitch Brown, Liam Martin, Cory Turner, and Jim Huppunen. Jake Brown took sixth from row six, with Jamie Turner, Glenn Styres, Kyle Phillips, and Shone Evans rounding out the top ten. The championship was Cory Turner's second Southern Ontario Sprints title; he claimed his first in 2018. The SOS club wishes to thank everyone for their donations to Sprint Car driver Paul Pekkonen on Saturday night. A total of $1406.60 was raised to help defray Paul's medical costs; he was seriously injured while working in his shop last week.

Bardier had a big lead when Dryden got off track in turn four to bring out the yellow flag on lap 11. Bardier continued to lead after the restart, but Ladouceur moved past Billings for the second position and went after Bardier. Traffic became a factor with five laps to go, but Bardier would not be denied his first Action Sprint Tour victory. Ladouceur locked down the runner-up spot, while Jacob Dykstra stole the final podium spot from Stewart, and Billings rounded out the top five.

BOWMAN BAGS MERRITTVILLE ACTION SPRINT TOUR WIN
THOROLD, Ont. (July 16, 2022) - Mike Bowman took his second Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's A-Main win of the season on Saturday night at Merrittville Speedway. Austin Roes and Mathieu Bardier led the field to the green flag for the 25 lap A-Main, and Bardier took the early lead. Every time Bardier was able to build a lead however, caution flags brought the field back to him. Eventually Mike Bowman, the 2021 Merrittville Modified champion, worked his way to the front from row four. Bowman surprised Bardier by making the winning pass on the outside with Bardier firmly committed to the bottom. Row five starter Jacob Dykstra also got by Bardier for second after a late restart, but ran out of time to catch Bowman. The win was Bowman's first in a Crate Sprint Car at Merrittville, and his second AST victory. Dykstra and Bardier took podium finishes, followed by Steven Beckett and row seven starter Allan Downey. The top five finish was a reward for Downey and his crew who spent the day building a car following a grinding crash in weekly competition at Ohsweken on Friday night. Heat race wins went to Bardier, Bowman, and Seth Roy, another driver who had to thrash due to crash damage the previous night. The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Monday, August 15 at Ohsweken Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.
