  DRYDEN TAKES SOS/GLSS WIN AT BUXTON

  MERLIN, Ont. (July 13, 2024) - Darren Dryden claimed his first win of the 2024 season on Saturday night at Buxton Speedway in a co-sanctioned event with the Southern Ontario Sprints and Great Lakes Super Sprints tours. Dryden started the 25 lap A-Main on the front row along with Phil Gressman, and Dryden took the early lead. Lap six was calamitous for several drivers; the first of two yellow flags appeared when Eli Lakin slowed on the frontstretch with apparent mechanical problems. Contact with DJ Christie turned Gressman around in turn three after the restart; Dylan Westbrook could not avoid Gressman's car and the ensuing damage ended Gressman's race. Westbrook was able to restart and salvage an eighth place finish. The race went green for the final 19 laps, and Dryden successfully navigated through traffic to claim the win. Ryan Turner charged forward to take the runner-up spot away from Christie. Turner took the second spot, while Christie came home third. Shone Evans and Max Stambaugh rounded out the top five. The win was the second Buxton score of Dryden's career, but first in a 360 Sprint Car; his previous win at the 1/3 mile oval came in an Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car event in 2021. Turner won both The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award and the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Dryden and Westbrook won the Creative Edge heat races. The next SOS event is scheduled for Merrittville Speedway on Saturday, July 20.

  CORY TURNER CLAIMS GARY CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL WIN AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (June 22, 2024) - The Turner family has a long and illustrious history at Merrittville Speedway, and Cory Turner added to their story with a $3,000 win in the Gary Cunningham Memorial on Saturday night. Cory Turner and Tyeller Powless made up the front row for the 25-lap A-Main, and Turner quickly opened a big lead over the rest of the field. A mid-race caution flag briefly erased Turner's advantage and allowed Dylan Westbrook a chance to move closer to the front of the pack. Westbrook tried valiantly to claim an eighth consecutive win, but ran out of time. Turner took the win - his first for car owner Nathan Ackland - while Westbrook settled for the runner-up spot. Liam Martin, Matt Farnham, and Ryan Turner rounded out the top five, while Powless, Mike Bowman, Darren Dryden, DJ Christie, and Josh Hansen took top ten finishes. Cory Turner claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Dylan Westbrook was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. Next on the SOS schedule is a three race weekend - special Thunder on the Grand events at Ohsweken Speedway on July 11 and July 12, and a co-sanctioned event with the Great Lakes Super Sprints series on July 13 at Buxton Speedway.
