  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. For a full list of gate times and admission prices for this weekend, visit the Ohsweken & Brighton Speedway's websites & social media pages, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints). The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing Tire, Cobra Coaches, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique, Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Lacaillade Masonry, Inc., Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Lanes Yamaha, Ashley Lynn Winery, Slade Precision Shocks, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing Products, and DirtTrackDigest.com. The ESS Road Ahead: Friday, May 30 - Ohsweken Speedway - Ohsweken, ONT ($2,000 to Win) Saturday, May 31 - Brighton Speedway - Brighton, ONT ($2,000 to Win) Saturday, June 7 - Freedom Motorsports Park - Freedom, NY ($4,000 to Win Julia Horton Memorial)

  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.

  Empire Super Sprints Set Sights on 2025 Season

  By Curtis Berleue (Oswego, NY) | As the weather in upstate New York begins to trend warmer, the anticipation grows for the 2025 race season. Entering their 42nd year of competition, the Empire Super Sprints are set to first hit the track on April 12 at the Outlaw Speedway to kick off their campaign that includes 32 events from April to October. While many of the dates and venues on the schedule are familiar for tour regulars, a notable addition in 2025 is a return to the Ohsweken Speedway on Friday May 30, followed by a visit to the Brighton Speedway on Saturday May 31. The popular CNY Speedweek also returns from July 2-6, with stops at Can-Am, Utica-Rome, Brewerton, Fulton and Weedsport - all paying $2,500 to the winner. Eight races on the schedule are set to pay at least $3,000 to win, with five events paying $4,000 to win. Outlaw Speedway will host four of them (April 18, July 25, September 19 and October 17) and Freedom Motorsports Park on June 7 will be the fifth. The Annual Kevin Ward Jr. Memorial Asphalt Spectacular on June 14, along with the annual Quebec trip to Autodromes Granby and Drummond on August 22 and 23 will all pay $3,000 to win. Fresh off his third championship, Jordan Poirier looks to return to the tour in '25 with his eyes set on defending his title. The Quebec driver is hoping to maintain his consistency while utilizing a new GSR chassis - a switch he made at the end of 2024 in preparation for the upcoming season. Many of the top drivers in ESS competition have already made laps on track in 2025, with Billy VanInwegen, Joe Kata, Dan Bennett, Scott Kreutter and Glenn Styres competing in the Chili Bowl. Jordan Thomas, Davie Franek, Brett Wright, Chase Moran and Glenn Styres have also been on track, competing in various Florida Speedweeks events. Both Franek and Styres already have wins under their belt, with Franek picking up a USCS win at Southern raceway in Milton, FL and Styres picking up a win in a UMP Modified at Volusia Speedway. Much of the continued success of the Empire Super Sprints can be attributed to a great group of marketing partners. In 2025, the tour is excited to welcome back Rifenburg Contracting, Cobra Coaches, Lacaillade Masonry, Pinnacle Investments, A-Verdi Storage containers, Ashley Lynn Winery, Hoosier Tire Canada, and E&V Energy. New additions to the list of marketing partners include Elab Smokers Boutique, sponsoring each heat race in 2025; Wilwood Disc Brakes, sponsoring the 13th place finisher each night; Slade Precision Shocks, and Keizer Aluminum Wheels.
