  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.

  Sheridan Wins ESS Opener at Ohsweken

  By Curtis Berleue (Ohsweken, ONT) | For the first time since 2015, the Empire Super Sprints made the trip north of the border to the Ohsweken Speedway. Taking on the local regulars, the best 360 sprint drivers in the northeast invaded the Ohsweken oval. In the end, however, it was local Nick Sheridan defending home turf and taking home the win. Pinnacle Pole Draw winner Nick Sheridan would bring the field to the initial green flag along side of Shawn Donath, with Donath taking the early lead into turns one and two. Close behind the lead duo of Donath and Sheridan, Dylan Swiernik and Jordan Poirier battled for 3rd. Before the leaders reached lap traffic, the first caution of the event flew on lap 5 for Glenn Styres and Mike Bowan. When action resumed, the top five of Donath, Sheridan, Swiernik, Poirier and Westbrook remained the same. As the scoreboard hit lap 10, Jordan Poirier worked his way into second, passing both Swiernik and Sheridan, though only momentarily as Sheridan fought back past the Quebec native to regain second. With 9 laps remaining, Sheridan caught Donath and with a run off of turn two, was able to slide past Donath for the lead a they exited turn four. Poirier followed Sheridan past Donath for second, and not long after Swiernik was able to get by the #53 machine as well. Up front, Sheridan had set sail and would lead the remainder of the event en-route to his first Empire Super Sprints victory. "This is something I will never forget," said Sheridan in victory lane. "My first 360 win here, and my first win against these ESS boys, they're the real deal - these guys are really good." "We had a good car, here. We got a little free early, I threw the wing back and changed some shocks around in the cockpit and we got a little better." Jordan Poirier held on for second to start his title defense in 2025. "The track was pretty much in Nationals conditions, so we had a game plan," said Poirier. "Our GSR chassis was really good on this slick track. I showed Nick my lane in turn one and he kept it to pass Donath. After that he was really good and I couldn't catch him." Rounding out the podium was Dylan Swiernik. "It's my first week back, and we worked hard all off season and all of last summer," said Swiernik. "To come up here - I haven't ran all year - and sit third that's good." 35 cars signed into the pits to open the Empire Super Sprints season, which would mean the field was divided into four timed hot lap groups. Earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards were Dylan Westbrook, Davie Franek, Cory Turner and Josh Hansen. Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins went to Dylan Westbrook, Davie Franek, Dylan Swiernik, and Josh Hansen. The Lacaillade Masonry B-Main was won by Matt Billings. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Saturday May 31st at the Brighton Speedway in Brighton, ONT.

  Canadian Swing on Tap for Empire Super Sprints

  By Curtis Berleue (Ohsweken, ONT) | Mother Nature has not been kind to the Empire Super Sprints so far in 2025. After four straight rainouts, the tour will once again look to open their season this weekend. With the forecast thus far looking favorable, Ohsweken Speedway is now set to hold the season opener this Friday, with a trip to the Brighton Speedway on tap Saturday. A regular points-paying tour event has not been held at Ohsweken since 2015. The last driver in ESS victory lane at the Canadian oval was Mitch Brown, on August 7 of that season. With the unique distinction of the only track on the schedule that runs 360 sprints on a weekly basis, a whole host of drivers will be set to defend their home turf against tour regulars. Saturday will be another unique moment in Empire Super Sprints history, as the tour will visit the Brighton Speedway in Brighton, Ontario for the first time ever. In its 40+ years of existence, the Empire Super Sprints have visited 43 tracks in and around the northeastern United States. That makes it a rare occasion when the tour visits a new facility.

  Empire Super Sprints Set to Kick Off 2025 at Brewerton & Fulton

  By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After two consecutive rainouts to start the 2025 season, hopefully the third time will be the charm for the Empire Super Sprints this coming weekend. Friday, the annual Don Gillette Memorial will now serve as the season opener at the Brewerton Speedway, followed by a trip just up the road Saturday to the Fulton Speedway. In the last two running's of the Don Gillette Memorial, it has been Danny Varin in victory lane. Picking up the win in 2023 and 2024, Varin is hoping to three-peat this weekend at a track he has been strong at in recent memory. After the originally scheduled points opener at Fulton fell to Mother Nature earlier this season, this Saturday's visit will be the second half of the Memorial Day doubleheader in Central NY. Veteran driver Jason Barney has had a good bit of success at Fulton in recent years. In the last 16 visits to Fulton for the Empire Super Sprints, Barney has won an impressive 8 A-Mains. The Dash on Friday at Brewerton will be presented by J&Z Snowdrifters, while Saturdays dash at Fulton is presented by Mechanical Service Company. .

  BOWMAN TAKES SPRING SIZZLER WIN AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (April 26, 2025) - The Southern Ontario Sprints series opened the 2025 season at Merrittville Speedway's Spring Sizzler on Saturday. Mike Bowman took the win on a chilly evening. Bowman and Baily Heard made up the front row for the 25 lap feature, but only two laps were completed before Joe Trenca and Alex Bergeron tangled to bring out a yellow flag. Bowman stayed up front after two more yellows for spins by Dylan Westbrook and Ashton VanEvery. Darren Dryden took the second spot away from Heard after the VanEvery spin on lap 12, and stayed with Bowman through the second half of the race. Bowman had to fight off challenges from Dryden as the pair raced through traffic, until a spin by Matt Farnham with two laps remaining brought out the yellow flag. The subsequent single-file restart gave Bowman a chance to lock down the win, and he drove on to claim his first 360 Sprint Car win at Merrittville; all of Bowman's previous 360 Sprint Car wins had come at Ohsweken Speedway. Dryden took the runner-up position, while Heard rounded out the podium with his best career finish. Todd Hoddick and DJ Christie took the remaining spots in the top five, while Jordan Poirier, Ryan Turner, Dylan Westbrook, Allan Downey, and Eric Gledhill finished in the top ten. DJ Christie claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Travis Cunningham was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. 14-year-old rookie Skylar Evans made his Sprint Car debut on Saturday, running second fastest in his Timed Hot Lap group and advancing from 20th to finish 14th in the feature. A total of 22 drivers from Ontario, Quebec, and New York made the trip to Merrittville. The SOS organization would like to thank all the fans, track officials, and race teams who braved cold temperatures and a questionable weather forecast to put on a great show. Next on the SOS schedule is a Gold Crown Super series race at Buxton Speedway on June 7 paying $5,000-to-win and $500-to-start.
