  DYKSTRA STEALS ACTION SPRINT TOUR WIN AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (September 17, 2021) - Jacob Dykstra continued his dominant season in the Pinty's Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series with another win on Friday night at Merrittville Speedway. Dykstra led just two laps of the 25 lap A-Main - the first lap and the last lap - but it was enough to earn his ninth win of the season. Dyksta and Dale Curran made up the front row for the A-Main, but row two starter Eric Gledhill took the lead away from Dykstra on lap two and began to pull away. A pair of red flags slowed the race - one for a tipover by Larry Gledhill, and one for a very hard crash for Lucas Smith after he hopped Brett Stratford's right rear tire and flipped over the turn one wall. Smith had to go through the B-Main and had charged into the top ten in the A-Main at the time of the crash; he was shaken up, but otherwise unhurt in the incident. Eric Gledhill held the lead through both the stoppages along with a yellow flag for Matt Hill, but Dykstra stayed close behind the leader and stole the win when Gledhill got held up in traffic in the last set of corners. The win was Dykstra's ninth in 11 AST races this season. Gledhill settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Nick Sheridan, Darren Dryden, and Curran. The top ten was rounded out by Dereck Lemyre, row eight starter Steve Murdock, Curtis Gartly, Dave McKnight, and Ryan Fraser. Heat race wins went to Lemyre, Dykstra, Eric Gledhill, and Brian Nanticoke, while Smith won the B-Main. Jacob Dykstra's lead in the championship standings now stands at 76 points over Allan Downey, while Nick Sheridan is a further 21 points back in third. Eric Gledhill and Darren Dryden are fourth and fifth, followed by Lucas Smith, Brett Stratford, Rob Neely, Dereck Lemyre, and Dale Curran. The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Friday, October 1 at Humberstone Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.

  TURNER TAKES FIRST KNIGHTS OF THUNDER WIN

  THOROLD, Ont. (September 17, 2021) - Ryan Turner won his first sword from the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series on Friday night at Merrittville Speedway; Turner led just one lap in the 25 lap A-Main, but it was the most important one. The action began in the early morning hours when series points leader Jordan Poirier had trouble with his hauler more than four hours from Merrittville. Poirier was able to get a ride to the track but his equipment was left behind, and the Team Turner Racing 19 car became the Quebec driver's ride for the evening. Travis Cunningham and Glenn Styres made up the front row for the 11th Knights of Thunder A-Main of 2021, and Styres grabbed the early lead with Cunningham and DJ Christie giving chase. Christie got past Cunningham on lap five and quickly went to work on Styres. The middle groove was working for Styres, while Christie worked the cushion and Cunningham was on the inside. Close racing ensued as all three began to work through traffic, and Christie briefly got past Styres for the lead before getting over the cushion in turns three and four. Christie recovered and was preparing to mount another attempt when a yellow flag appeared for the stopped car of John Burbridge Jr. Another yellow flag for Aaron Turkey appeared soon after the restart, but Styres' stay at the front ended on lap 12 when Christie made a well-executed slide job and fought off a crossover attempt by Styres. Christie opened up a lead while Styres fell into the clutches of Mack DeMan, who had fallen back on the initial start before mounting a comeback. DeMan got around Styres just before a red flag flew for a Dan Nanticoke tipover, while Ryan Turner followed suit after the restart. Christie opened a lead of more than one second as the race wound down, while Turner caught and passed DeMan with three laps to go. It appeared Turner was going to run out of time in his pursuit of Christie, but the yellow flag appeared again for Jamie Turner's stopped car and set up a two lap dash to the finish. Christie had the advantage on the restart, but Turner gained rapidly on the leader as they took the white flag. Turner got alongside in turns one of two and cleared Christie down the backstretch, but Christie fought back and attempted to slide under Turner in turns three and four. Christie couldn't make the move stick and watched helplessly as Turner took the checkered flag. Christie held DeMan off for the runner-up spot, while Josh Hansen and row seven starter Jim Huppunen rounded out the top five. Styres faded at the end but held on to finish sixth, followed by Tyler Rand, Cunningham, Poirier, and Mat Williamson. Cory Turner moved from 22nd to 11th to claim Hard Charger honours, while heat race wins went to Jacob Dykstra, Liam Martin, and Styres. Poirier's lead in the championship standings now stands at 44 points over Ryan Turner, with Jim Huppunen 12 points behind Turner in third. Josh Hansen holds the fourth position, while DJ Christie is now into the top five. Travis Cunningham, Cory Turner, Liam Martin, Tyler Rand, and Holly Porter make up the rest of the top ten. The Pinty's Knights of Thunder series will next be in action on Friday, October 1 at Humberstone Speedway. Visit www.knightsofthunder.com for more information.

  KNIGHTS OF THUNDER AND ACTION SPRINT TOUR SET FOR FINAL MERRITTVILLE VISIT OF 2021

  By Tommy Goudge (September 16, 2021) - The Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series and Pinty's Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series are set for their final visits to Merrittville Speedway in 2021. Warm weather, great racing, and Merrittville's famous food will greet fans who make the trip to the Thorold, Ontario track, while the event will also be broadcast live on GForceTV. Each tour has run three events at Merrittville this season, and A-Main wins for drivers not named Poirier or Dykstra have been extremely hard to come by. Poirier has won all three Knights of Thunder races held at Merrittville this season, including a dominating victory at the historic Niagara Region track last Saturday. Dykstra has won two of the three Action Sprint Tour races at Merrittville this season, and took a runner-up finish behind Nick Sheridan there on August 6. While Poirier's sparkling record this season is well-documented, the driver with the best Knights of Thunder record at Merrittville this season other than Poirier is the unheralded Liam Martin. The 18-year-old has been in the top five twice at the Niagara Region track this season, including a runner-up last Saturday after starting in row six. Josh Hansen - another teenager - is the only other KoT driver with multiple top fives at Merrittville this season. Jim Huppunen has a runner-up and three total top tens at Merrittville this season, but the results don't show how competitive the veteran driver has been there this year. Huppunen spun and restarted at the back of the pack in two of the three races, including a charge to sixth last week. Other drivers to watch on Friday include Mikey Kruchka, Ryan Turner, Mack DeMan, and Aaron Turkey, who have all been on the podium at Merrittville this year. Jesse Costa is the only driver besides Dykstra to score top fives in all three Merrittville AST events this year, but Costa won't be in competition on Friday as he continues to recover from a crash at Brighton on Labour Day weekend. Sheridan took a podium finish at Merrittville in July before taking a win in August, while Lucas Smith and Steven Beckett also have two top fives there with AST this season. Allan Downey scored a podium finish at Merrittville last month, and will be looking for a repeat of the last September AST race at Merrittville; Downey secured his first Sprint Car win at Merrittville on September 18, 2020. Several teams had work to do after a rough night at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway last Saturday. Dykstra and Sheridan both crashed in the A-Main, while Ryan Fraser had engine trouble. The biggest incident of the night was Brett Stratford's heat race crash which completely destroyed his BS39 car. All four drivers are planning to race at Merrittville on Friday night, including Stratford who took a runner-up finish in the most recent AST event held there. Darren Dryden scored the win at SOMS, his first in a Sprint Car and on a dirt track. CHAMPIONSHIP CHASES Jordan Poirier's Knights of Thunder points lead was dwindling before last weekend's events at Humberstone and Merrittville, but the Quebec driver put a stop to that trend by dominating the weekend. Poirier now holds a commanding 63 point advantage with three events left on the 2021 schedule. Ryan Turner moved into second in the standings last weekend, but Jim Huppunen is just one point behind in third. Josh Hansen and Travis Cunningham hold spots in the current top five, while DJ Christie is right behind Cunningham in sixth. Liam Martin, Cory Turner, and Jamie Turner are seventh, eighth, and ninth respectively, while Tyler Rand and Holly Porter are tied for 10th. Jacob Dykstra's Action Sprint Tour points lead shrank substantially after his crash at SOMS last weekend, but he still holds a 47 point lead over Allan Downey. Nick Sheridan, Eric Gledhill, and Lucas Smith hold the remaining top five spots, while Darren Dryden, Brett Stratford, Rob Neely, Dereck Lemyre, and Dale Curran round out the top ten.

Poirier stayed up front for the rest of the event, but he had to earn the win with several close calls in traffic. Ryan Turner took the runner-up spot, while Josh Hansen passed DJ Christie and Mikey Kruchka on the last lap to steal the final podium position. Christie settled for fourth, while Kruchka took his first top five of the season after starting in row six.

  POIRIER DOMINATES KOT AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (September 11, 2021) - Jordan Poirier took his second Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series win in as many days with a dominating victory at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday night. Poirier and Jim Huppunen made up the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, but Huppunen spun in the first corner and collected row two starter Mack DeMan to bring out a yellow flag. Both drivers charged forward after starting at the back for the complete restart, while Poirier quickly opened a big lead. Several drivers made big moves through the field, but Poirier set a torrid pace and sliced through traffic to take the win by more then ten seconds. The win rewarded Poirier with his sixth Knights of Thunder sword of the season, while Liam Martin charged from row six to finish second. Mikey Kruchka gained three spots to take the final podium spot and his second top five of the weekend, followed by Glenn Styres, and row five starter Josh Hansen. Huppunen salvaged a sixth place finish, followed by Jamie Turner, row seven starter Ryan Turner, DJ Christie, and DeMan. Heat race wins went to Kruchka, Poirier, and Huppunen. Poirier now holds a 63 point advantage in the Pinty's Knights of Thunder championship standings with three races remaining in the 2021 season.

  DRYDEN TAKES FIRST SPRINT CAR WIN WITH AST VICTORY AT SOMS

  MERLIN, Ont. (September 11, 2021) - Darren Dryden won his first Pinty's Action Sprint Tour A-Main and took the first dirt track victory of his career on Saturday night at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. Dryden and Curtis Gartly made up the front row for the first AST A-Main at SOMS since 2019, and first on the new high-banked oval layout. A rough, challenging track surface greeted the drivers and led to some breathtaking moments. Dryden ultimately led all 25 laps, while a pair of heavy crashes took out contenders Nick Sheridan and Jacob Dykstra. Both drivers were uninjured, but suffered rare DNF's. Dryden became the third different winner on the AST trail this season, while Lucas Smith moved up from row four to finish second. Eric Gledhill continued his breakout season by taking the third spot from row six, while Allan Downey finished fourth for a second consecutive night, and Derek Miller rounded out the top five. Gartly persevered to finish sixth, followed by Rob Neely, Dale Curran, and Dereck Lemyre. Steven Beckett rounded out the top ten after starting 20th, and took hard charger honours for a second straight night. Heat race wins were claimed by Dykstra, Sheridan, and Lucas Smith. Brett Stratford's car suffered extensive damage after a vicious flip in his heat race. Fortunately Stratford emerged relatively unscathed, but the same could not be said for his BS39 machine. Dykstra's lead in the Pinty's Action Sprint Tour championship standings took a hit due to his crash and subsequent 22nd place finish, but he is still ahead of Allan Downey by 47 points with five races left on the 2021 schedule. Nick Sheridan, Eric Gledhill, and Lucas Smith make up the remainder of the current top five. The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Friday, September 17 at Merrittville Speedway.

  SPRINT CARS HEAD TO HUMBERSTONE, MERRITTVILLE, & SOMS THIS WEEKEND

  By Tommy Goudge (September 9, 2021) - The Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series and Pinty's Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series are set for another doubleheader weekend. Both tours will race at Humberstone Speedway on Friday live on GForceTV, and then head in different directions on Saturday; the Knights of Thunder will compete at Merrittville Speedway, and the Action Sprint Tour will travel to Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. HUMBERSTONE FRIDAY Each series held a pair of races at Humberstone on Civic Holiday weekend during the track's traditional All-Canadian Championship; Jordan Poirier swept the KoT portion of the weekend, while Jacob Dykstra did the same on the AST side. The Turner brothers - Cory and Ryan - each scored a pair of top five finishes with KoT at Humberstone during the ACC weekend, while Travis Cunningham, Aaron Turkey, Jacob Dykstra, and Jim Huppunen had one top five each. Huppunen's top five was almost a win, as Poirier snatched the victory in traffic on the last lap. Allan Downey finished in the top five of both AST races at Humberstone, while Steven Beckett, Eric Gledhill, Brett Stratford, Curtis Gartly, Rob Neely, and Ryan Fraser had one top five each on ACC weekend. MERRITTVILLE & SOMS SATURDAY Merrittville has hosted two Knights of Thunder events already this season, both of which were claimed by Jordan Poirier. The Quebec driver won the July 10 opener at Merrittville with relative ease, but it was a different story on August 6 when Jim Huppunen nearly ended Poirier's winning streak; Huppunen spun late the race in the midst of an entertaining duel for the win, and Poirier was able to claim what was his fourth consecutive victory. Poirier is the only driver with top five finishes in both KoT races held this season at Merrittville, while Liam Martin, Jamie Turner, Cory Turner, Jim Huppunen, Mack DeMan, Aaron Turkey, Josh Hansen, and Ryan Turner have one top five each this year on the tricky one-third mile. Meanwhile, more than two years have passed since the Action Sprint Tour last competed at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. Saturday's event will be the first AST visit to SOMS since the track formerly known as South Buxton Raceway underwent a transformation from a semi-banked D-shaped configuration to a high-banked oval. The Knights of Thunder series visited SOMS in August and found the new layout to be well-suited to Sprint Cars. Shone Evans and Liam Martin scored victories in the two previous AST events on the old SOMS layout but both are now racing in the Knights of Thunder series, so a new name will join the win list on Saturday. CHAMPIONSHIP CHASES Jordan Poirier has been in the top five in all eight KoT races held in 2021 and opened the season with four straight wins, while Jacob Dykstra has won seven of the eight AST races and finished second in the other. They lead the championship standings in their respective series, but Poirier's lead has dwindled slightly over the last few weeks. Jim Huppunen has posted a pair of KoT wins at Brighton over the last few weeks, while DJ Christie claimed his first career 360 Sprint Car win at SOMS in August, and added another at Brighton last weekend. Poirier's lead in the KoT championship standings now sits at 32 points over Huppunen, with Ryan Turner another 10 points behind. Travis Cunningham and Josh Hansen round out the current top five, while Christie, Holly Porter, Cory Turner, Liam Martin, and Jamie Turner hold top ten positions. Jacob Dykstra has a commanding 74 point lead in the AST standings over Allan Downey, with Nick Sheridan another seven points behind. Eric Gledhill and Brett Stratford round out the current top five, while Jesse Costa, Lucas Smith, Rob Neely, Darren Dryden, and Dereck Lemyre hold top ten positions.

  CHRISTIE & HUPPUNEN SPLIT LABOUR DAY CLASSIC WEEKEND AT BRIGHTON

  By Tommy Goudge BRIGHTON, Ont. (September 5, 2021) - DJ Christie and Jim Huppunen took Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series wins during the Labour Day Classic weekend at Brighton Speedway. SATURDAY DJ Christie became the second driver to claim multiple Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series wins with a victory on night one of the Labour Day Classic at Brighton Speedway. Ryan Turner and Christie started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row, and Turner got the early lead. Action heated up all through the field in what turned out to be a nonstop race completed in less than seven minutes. Christie got the lead on lap 11 and stayed up front for his second win of the season. Turner continued his consistent season by taking the runner-up spot. Jim Huppunen and Jordan Poirier continued their season-long contest as both moved up from row four and five to race for the third spot late in the race. Huppunen took the spot back from Poirier and claimed the final podium position, followed by Poirier, and Liam Martin. Row six starter Cory Turner took the sixth spot, followed by Travis Cunningham, row nine starter Tyler Rand, Josh Hansen, and Dale Gosselin. Mack DeMan, Cunningham, and Ryan Turner claimed heat race wins. Several drivers were unable to make the trip to Brighton due to last-minute complications. Most notable in his absence was Aaron Turkey, who gave up fourth place in the championship standings.

In the end Huppunen emerged with the victory, his second in three career Brighton races. Jamie Turner and Huppunen were the front row starters for night two of the Labour Day Classic weekend, while Poirier started 10th for a second consecutive night. The race had a halting start, as Ben Silliker stopped on track just before the green flag, and Nathan Jackson spun off the track in turns one and two to bring out the yellow flag on the first lap. Turner took the initial lead when the race started, but Huppunen dove low and took the lead in turns three and four on lap one. Huppunen opened a lead while Alain Bergeron took the second position, and Poirier charged forward. Huppunen's gap shrank as he attempted to negotiate heavy traffic, and he narrowly avoided disaster when Jackson spun in front of him just before the halfway mark. The resulting yellow flag was a double-edged sword for Huppunen; clear track on the restart was helpful, but Poirier restarted third and quickly overtook Bergeron. Huppunen doggedly stuck to the low groove while Poirier used the high side to race wheel-to-wheel with the leader. The two drivers raced side-by-side for several laps and Poirier briefly edged ahead before Huppunen retook the top spot with nine laps remaining. Both drivers encountered heavy traffic as the race wound down, and Cory Turner began to reel them in after making his way to third. Turner ran out of time though, and Poirier's last lap effort fell short as Huppunen won by three-tenths of a second. Poirier settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Cory Turner, Ryan Turner, Bergeron, Steve Poirier, Shone Evans, row eight starter Mack DeMan, row 11 starter Travis Cunningham, and Baily Heard. Heat race wins were claimed by Huppunen, Bergeron, and Evans. The Pinty's Knights of Thunder series will next be in action on Friday, September 10 at Humberstone Speedway, and Saturday, September 11 at Merrittville Speedway.

  DYKSTRA DOES IT AGAIN AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (August 14, 2021) - Jacob Dykstra dominated the Pinty's Action Sprint Tour A-Main on Saturday night at Merrittville Speedway and extended his championship points lead in the process. Brett Stratford and Jesse Costa started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row and Stratford led the first seven laps. Dykstra took over on lap eight and drove on to his fourth win in five AST races this season. Stratford, Allan Downey, Costa, and Steven Beckett rounded out the top five, while Eric Gledhill, Terry Baker, Nick Sheridan, Dale Curran, and Dereck Lemyre scored top ten finishes.

  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. Visit www.merrittvillespeedway.com for more information. 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.

  CHRISTIE CLAIMS FIRST CAREER 360 SPRINT CAR WIN AT SOMS

  MERLIN, Ont. (August 7, 2021) - 19-year-old DJ Christie scored the first 360 Sprint Car win of his career on Saturday night in Pinty's Knights of Thunder series competition at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway, snapping Jordan Poirier's four race win streak in the process. Ryan Turner and Holly Porter made up the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Turner led the first lap with row two starters Christie and Poirier hot on his heels. Christie went low and Poirier high as both got past Turner in turn two and began to pull away. Turner and Jim Huppunen jousted for the third spot while the leaders began to work through traffic. Christie stuck to the low groove in traffic, with Poirier generally running a similar line; Poirier did venture to the high side at one point and lost a lot of ground in the process. Poirier had closed the gap considerably when Dan Nanticoke and Baily Heard both spun on lap 13; Nanticoke was able to keep moving, but Heard was not and the yellow flag appeared. Christie kept the lead on the restart, but another yellow flag was needed when Cory Turner slid into the infield. Christie again kept the lead on the restart, but the red flag came out on lap 15 when Scott Burk spun out in turn three and Dan Nanticoke hit the wall and flipped wildly. Nanticoke emerged from his damaged car uninjured but done for the night. Christie again held court on the restart and kept Poirier at bay for the rest of the race, while Huppunen gained on both but ran out of time. Poirier settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Huppunen, Ryan Turner, and Jacob Dykstra. The top ten was rounded out with Porter, Aaron Turkey, Travis Cunningham, Tyler Rand, and Shone Evans. Heat race wins for the first-ever Knights of Thunder event at SOMS were claimed by Porter, Dykstra, and Poirier. The win was especially sweet for Christie after a grinding crash at Humberstone a week earlier. "That's our fifth 360 start and we're in victory lane!" exclaimed Christie after the race. "I've got to say a special thanks to (Poirier). I've been asking him questions all week; I've probably been annoying him, but apparently it has paid off. I think he's going to stop helping me now." Poirier was happy with his second place finish, despite seeing the end of his win streak. "Hat's off to DJ; he was awesome," acknowledged Poirier. "At the first part of the race he passed Ryan and I thought I could get him on the outside but it blows away. The track was in amazing condition. It's awesome to come race here, and the fans in the stands - it's crazy! Fun to be back to something close to normal. Second is good for us. It's a good point day and we'll return home happy." Huppunen was fast in the outside groove early in the race, but moved to the bottom near the end to secure the final podium position. It was a bit of redemption for Huppunen, who spun out racing for the lead with Poirier at Merrittville on Friday. "Awesome facility here," Huppunen noted after the race. "The fans - if you guys didn't like that you may as well not come again! That was a hell of a race. This track, it's badass...like, it's awesome. We were good, but I just can't get the bottom down there. I just gotta figure out the brakes on this car a little more."

  POIRIER OUTLASTS HUPPUNEN AT MERRITTVILLE TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED IN 2021

  THOROLD, Ont. (August 6, 2021) - Jordan Poirier kept his Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series winning streak intact on Friday night at Merrittville Speedway. The Quebec driver had to work hard to secure the win as local favourite Jim Huppunen was going after his first win of the season. Jim Huppunen and Holly Porter started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row, and Huppunen drove out to an early lead. Jordan Poirier quickly moved up from his fourth place starting position to give chase to Huppunen and took the lead on lap four. Huppunen did not let Poirier get too far ahead though, and began to gain on the leader as the two drivers worked through traffic. Huppunen squeezed back past Poirier as the race reached the two-thirds distance, and the two drivers jousted for the win until Huppunen got too far sideways and slid to a stop in turn two. Another yellow flag came out shortly thereafter for a collision which collected Cory Turner and Shone Evans. Poirier stayed up front through the restarts to claim his fourth consecutive victory. Aaron Turkey made a late charge to finish second, followed by Ryan Turner, row eight starter Liam Martin, and Jamie Turner.

  MERRITTVILLE FRIDAY UP NEXT FOR KOT AND AST; KOT HEADS TO SOMS SATURDAY

  By Tommy Goudge (August 6, 2021) - The Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Cars and Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Cars fueled by Pinty's are set to race on Friday at Merrittville Speedway, while the Knights of Thunder will saddle up again and ride to Southern Ontario Motor Speedway on Saturday. Another big payday is on the line for the AST racers on Friday thanks to Sundance Restaurant Services. MERRITTVILLE FRIDAY The Knights of Thunder series and Action Sprint Tour both opened their seasons at Merrittville on July 10. Jordan Poirier (KoT) and Jacob Dykstra (AST) claimed the wins that night, and both remained perfect by winning both ends of their respective doubleheader weekends at Humberstone Speedway last weekend. Dykstra and his fellow AST racers have a big prize to shoot for on Friday night as the A-Main winner will take home $5,000 thanks to Sundance Restaurant Services. Visit the Sundance website at www.sundancepressurecleaning.com SOMS SATURDAY More than two years have passed since Sprint Cars last competed at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. Much has changed in the intervening time, as the track formerly known as South Buxton Raceway underwent a transformation from a semi-banked D-shaped configuration to a high-banked oval. DJ Christie is one of just a few Sprint Car drivers to get some practice time on the new Southern Ontario Motor Speedway. "When we first got there it looked like a smaller version of Ohsweken because it was so wide and banked," Christie told Knights of Thunder media. "After we got the hang of it we started to turn some faster times, and it feels like you're flying because there's an outside wall all the way around. It should make for a multi-lane race track." CHAMPIONSHIP CHASES The championship points chases for the Knights of Thunder series and Action Sprint Tour began to take shape following the two events run during All-Canadian Championship weekend at Humberstone. Jordan Poirier is at the head of the Knights of Thunder table on the strength of three A-Main wins, but Cory Turner is just 22 points behind thanks to three top-five finishes. Jim Huppunen, Ryan Turner, and Travis Cunningham round out the current top five. Jacob Dykstra leads the Action Sprint Tour standings thanks to three A-Main wins, while Allan Downey is 30 points behind in second. Brett Stratford, Nick Sheridan, and Lucas Smith hold the remaining top five positions. TICKETS Spectators ARE permitted at both events this weekend. Visit www.merrittvillespeedway.com and www.southernontariomotorspeedway.com for more information. LIVE BROADCAST GForceTV will be broadcasting live from Southern Ontario Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Multiple cameras will be in place to make sure that the broadcast is the next-best thing to being there! Visit www.gforcetv.net to catch all the action. KNIGHTS OF THUNDER SCHEDULE UPDATE Officials from the Knights of Thunder series and Brighton Speedway have worked to add a date for the 360 Sprint Cars at the Northumberland County oval following two July rainouts; the series will head to Brighton on Saturday, August 21 for a third try at getting Sprint Cars back on the Brighton track for the first time since 2019. The event will serve as a tune-up for Labour Day Classic weekend at Brighton when both the Knights of Thunder and Action Sprint Tour will be in action.

  POIRIER SWEEPS KNIGHTS OF THUNDER WEEKEND

  PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (July 31, 2021) - Jordan Poirier passed Jim Huppunen on the last lap to win Saturday's Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series A-Main at Humberstone Speedway. The victory helped Poirier to sweep the Knights of Thunder portion of All-Canadian Championship weekend, and remain undefeated in 2021. Cory Turner and Travis Cunningham made up the front row Friday's 25 lap A-Main, and Turner took the early lead with Poirier close behind. Turner was about to encounter traffic when Corey Gruhl's stopped car brought out a yellow flag with five laps complete. Turner stayed in the lead when the green flag reappeared, but had to move out of the low groove in traffic. Poirier pounced on the opportunity and made a daring move through traffic to make the winning pass just before the race reached the halfway point. Turner gained ground on Poirier on several occasions, but ended up settling for the runner-up spot. Cunningham took the third podium spot, followed by row six starter Jacob Dykstra, and Ryan Turner. Tyler Rand, Shone Evans, Jim Huppunen, Josh Hansen, and Mat Williamson rounded out the top ten. A star in Big Block Modified racing, Williamson was making his first 360 Sprint Car start. Heat race wins were claimed by Holly Porter, Cory Turner, and Shone Evans. Ryan Turner and Travis Cunningham made up the front row for Saturday's 25 lap A-Main, and Turner took the early lead in what turned out to be a caution-free race. Jim Huppunen overtook Turner for the lead on lap nine and went on to lead the majority of the race until Poirier slipped past on the last lap. Huppunen settled for the runner-up spot, while Cory Turner charged from row five to finish third, followed by Ryan Turner, and Aaron Turkey. Travis Cunningham, Tyler Rand, row ten starter Liam Martin, Josh Hansen, and Mikey Kruchka rounded out the top ten. Jordan Poirier, Aaron Turkey, and Josh Hansen claimed heat race wins. The Pinty's Knights of Thunder series will next be in action on Friday, August 6 at Merrittville Speedway, and Saturday, August 7 at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway.
