COLAVIOVANNI TAKES FRIDAY KNIGHTS OF THUNDER WIN AT HUMBERSTONE
PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (September 30, 2022) - Paulie Colagiovanni didn't take long to get accustomed to Humberstone Speedway; the driver from Cicero, New York had never seen the track before, but took the Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series win on Friday night. Mitch Brown and Nick Sheridan drew front row starting positions for the 25 lap A-Main, and Brown took the early lead. Traffic was looming for Brown, but a yellow flag came out when Jim Huppunen spun and collected Ryan Turner. Brown had clear track again for the restart, with Sheridan, Colagivanni, row five starter Jordan Poirier, and D.J. Christie in the top five. Brown stuck to the low side while Colagiovanni moved up high; Brown continued to keep Colagiovanni at bay until the red flag came out for Huppunen, who hit the inside guard rail and appeared to flip. Poirier had advanced to third for the restart, but appeared to clip the inside guard rail exiting turn four; the resulting damage ended Poirier's race, and his bid to remain undefeated at Humberstone. Colagiovanni pounced on Brown shortly after the restart and led the remainder of the race, although traffic did allow Brown to close in over the last few laps and keep the race in doubt. The win was Colagiovanni's third on the Knights of Thunder tour, and first away from Ohsweken Speedway. Brown's runner-up finish allowed him to pad his lead in the championship standings over Cory Turner and Ryan Turner. D.J. Christie rounded out the podium driving a Glenn Styres Racing entry; engine problems with his own car had previously threatened to end his season. Sheridan and Matt Farnham rounded out the top five. The 2022 Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car series championship will be decided on Saturday, October 1 in the season finale at Humberstone Speedway.

BOWMAN AND DYKSTRA SHARE FRIDAY NIGHT ACTION SPRINT TOUR WIN AT HUMBERSTONE
PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (September 30, 2022) - Mike Bowman and Jacob Dykstra were declared co-winners of the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Car A-Main at Humberstone Speedway on Friday night. Lance Erskine and Tyeller Powless drew front row starting spots for the 25 lap A-Main; the yellow flag quickly appeared when Powless and Allan Downey made contact, causing Downey to spin and collect championship contender Mathieu Bardier. The contact appeared to damage Bardier's front end, but his crew made repairs to get him back on track. Erskine took the lead on the restart, but Bowman quickly advanced to take the lead on lap four with championship points leader Jacob Dykstra in hot pursuit. Another yellow flag was needed for a Sheldon Bender spin which collected John Cadman and Brian Nanticoke, and title contender Darren Dryden used the restart to take third from Erskine. Bowman and Dykstra made daring moves in traffic as the race wound to a conclusion. Dykstra cleared several lapped cars in turns one and two on the last lap, but it appeared he was going to run out of time. Bowman slowed to avoid Ashton VanEvery's stopped car in turn four, however, which allowed Dykstra to cross under the checkered flag side-by-side with Bowman. Electronic timing and scoring showed a tie between the two down to the thousandth of a second, leading officials to declare a dead heat. Bowman and Dykstra shared the win, while Dryden, Erskine, and Powless rounded out the top five. The Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's Crate Sprint Car championship will be decided at Humberstone Speedway on Saturday, October 1. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.

BOWMAN TAKES FIRST ACTION SPRINT TOUR WIN
PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (June 30, 2022) - Mike Bowman took his first career Crate Sprint Car win on Thursday night at Humberstone Speedway. The former 358 Modified champion finished almost three seconds ahead of runner-up Mathieu Bardier in the Action Sprint Tour fueled by Pinty's A-Main, while Darren Dryden took the final podium spot. Dryden and Bowman started on the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, but the red flag quickly flew when Jacob Dykstra's car did a rollover after hard contact with the inside wall in turn one. Dykstra's crew worked hard to repair the damage and he started at the back of the field for the complete restart, along with AJ Lewis who was also collected in the accident. Dryden took the early lead after the restart with Bowman in close pursuit, but just as Bowman looked to make a move he slid off the banking in turn two while Dryden streaked away. Bowman got a mulligan for his miscue though, as the lap wasn't completed before Tyeller Powless spun in turn one and collected Luke Stewart, Seth Roy, and Brian Nanticoke; Stewart's car suffered the most damage and he wasn't able to restart. Dryden kept the lead for a few laps after the restart, but Bowman switched grooves and used the low side to challenge the leader. The pair raced wheel to wheel for several laps with row four starter Mathieu Bardier close behind until Bowman finally edged ahead. Bowman drove away to a large lead while Bardier passed Dryden for second, but Bowman's advantage was erased when he slid off the track briefly. Bardier got close but Bowman recovered and drove away again to claim the win. Bardier took the runner-up spot, followed by Dryden, Allan Downey from row eight, and Brett Stratford. Dykstra recovered from his first corner crash to finish sixth. Heat race wins went to Bardier, Brian Nanticoke, and Stewart. The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition on Friday, July 1 at Ohsweken Speedway. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.

BROWN TAKES FIRST KNIGHTS OF THUNDER WIN
PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (June 30, 2022) - Mitch Brown earned his first sword on Thursday night at Humberstone Speedway, withstanding pressure from several challengers to take his first Pinty's Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car A-Main win. Mitch Brown and Brayden Cooley were on the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Brown took the early lead while Mack DeMan and Mikey Kruchka jockeyed for the third spot. DeMan was strong on the high side, especially in turns three and four, and drove around Cooley to take the second position on lap four. Cooley then tried the upper lane, but Kruchka drove around him on the inside to take third. Brown lived up to his "Downtown" nickname, methodically running the low side lap after lap. DeMan began to track down the leader and was less than half a second behind when the yellow flag came out for Jim Huppunen's flat tire. Kruchka was still in third at this point, but pulled off the track with brake and rear end problems just as the green flag was about to come back out. Cory Turner inherited the third spot as a result. Brown held serve again while DeMan and Turner diced for the second spot until another yellow flag appeared for a Dan Nanticoke spin. Aaron Turkey then stopped with a flat tire just as the green flag was about to reappear, and when it finally did Turkey's teammate Cooley brought out the yellow again with a front suspension problem. Cooley's bad luck moved Ryan Turner and Travis Cunningham into fourth and fifth, respectively, with Brown, DeMan, and Cory Turner ahead of them. The green flag stayed out only briefly, as things went from bad to worse for Huppunen, Nanticoke, and Turkey who all tangled in turn one. Huppunen and Nanticoke restarted, but Turkey's night ended on the tow truck. The restart saw Tyler Rand spin to again bring out the yellow flag and set up a nine lap dash to the finish. DeMan stuck close to Brown on the restart, running the bottom in turns one and two and the top in turns three and four. Just it looked like DeMan might have something for the leader, he got over the cushion in turn four and gave up the second spot to Cory Turner. Brown was oblivious to all of this, but he quickly became aware of Turner's presence when Turner tried a bold move in turn one with three laps left; Turner dove low under Brown entering the corner but slid too high and off the banking, which allowed Brown to cross underneath and keep the lead. Brown drove on to take the win, while Cory Turner fended off brother Ryan for the runner-up spot. DeMan and row seven starter Cunningham rounded out the top five. "I just figured that was where it was going to be and if they were going to pass me they were going to have to go around me," said Brown of his commitment to running the low groove. "Cory sort of surprised me there at the end, but it was a good race." Cory Turner had a slightly rueful smile afterwards as he reflected on his race. "A podium's good, just got a little excited there," said Turner. "I should have chilled out there for a couple laps. The Knights of Thunder series will next be in competition at the 16th Running of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals on Friday, July 1 at Ohsweken Speedway.
