  WESTBROOK TAKES SPRING SIZZLER SOS VICTORY AT MERRITTVILLE

  THOROLD, Ont. (April 20, 2024) - Cool temperatures and a stiff breeze did not deter a large crowd from attending the Spring Sizzler at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday night. Dylan Westbrook took the lead early in the 25 lap Southern Ontario Sprints A-Main and stayed there to claim his first win of the season. DJ Christie and Dylan Westbrook made up the front row for the A-Main, but miscommunication during the pace laps led to a melee which knocked several competitors out of the race before it began. The second attempt to start the race was smoother, and Westbrook quickly took command. Jason Barney put on a show by charging through the field with impressive dive-bomb maneuvers entering the third turn, and eventually made his way to the second position. Barney, a regular with the Empire Super Sprints series, gave Westbrook a challenge after a late restart but ended up settling for the runner-up spot. Ryan Turner also charged from deep in the field to finish third, while Christie took fourth and Mike Bowman rounded out the top five. Creative Edge Heat Race wins went to Christie, Westbrook, and Eric Gledhill. Westbrook also claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Ryan Turner was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. A fast field of 23 cars competed in the opening round of the 2024 SOS season, including ESS regulars Jason Barney and Jordan Poirier. The next SOS event is scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at Southern Ontario Motor Speedway.

  2024 SOUTHERN ONTARIO SPRINTS SCHEDULE, PURSE INCREASES REVEALED

  ST. MARYS, Ont. (April 3, 2024) - Southern Ontario Sprints officials are pleased to announce the 2024 series schedule, along with the championship points fund, and increased event purses. 2024 SCHEDULE The 27th SOS season will bring the series to five tracks; Merrittville Speedway, Southern Ontario Motor Speedway, Ohsweken Speedway, and Humberstone Speedway in Ontario, and Ransomville Speedway in New York. Merrittville will host four SOS events, including the season-opening Spring Sizzler on April 20, and the Gary Cunningham Memorial in June. Extra cash will again be on the line in the Cunningham Memorial, with lap sponsors and various other extras. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more details! Three visits to Southern Ontario Motor Speedway (South Buxton) are highlighted by a co-sanctioned event with the Great Lakes Super Sprints in July, and a Sprint Car doubleheaders with the Ontario Traditional Sprints series in June and September. The July SOMS event is preceded by two big Thunder on the Grand events at Ohsweken, while the SOS will again be a part of Northern Sprint Car Nationals weekend in September. The Southern Ontario Sprints, Great Lakes Super Sprints, Empire Super Sprints, and Ohsweken's 360 Sprint Car division are all involved as co-sanctions for the Ohsweken events. The lone trip across the border for the SOS will occur at Ransomville in August, and the trip will be a lucrative one with the purse being paid in US funds. Many drivers and teams from Western New York have supported the SOS series from day one, making the trip an opportunity to reminisce with old friends as well. The season is scheduled to conclude with a pair of events at Humberstone in October for another edition of The Fall Classic. 2024 PURSE INCREASES Thanks to the generosity of Nitro 54 Variety and Tammy Ten Media, the standard Southern Ontario Sprints race night purse is set for a significant boost. Each A-Main starter will earn at least $350, and the winner will earn at least $2,500. The Gary Cunningham Memorial at Merrittville will pay $3,000 to the winner, with other bonuses yet to be announced. Nitro 54 also has a hand in some big paydays at Ohsweken, including $20,000-to-win for the 20th running of the Northern Sprint Car Nationals. 2024 POINTS FUND The top ten finishers in the SOS championship standings will each earn a share of the $7,000 points fund thanks to Hoosier Tire Canada. The 2024 SOS champion will be awarded $1,100, while each top ten finisher will take home at least $500. Drivers must compete in at least 80% of the SOS schedule to be eligible. 2024 SCHEDULE - Nitro 54 Variety Southern Ontario Sprints presented by Tammy Ten Media (Subject to Change) Saturday, April 20 - Merrittville Speedway (Thorold, ON) - Spring Sizzler Saturday, June 15 - Southern Ontario Motor Speedway (Merlin, ON) - w/OTS Saturday, June 22 - Merrittville Speedway (Thorold, ON) - $3,000-to-win Gary Cunningham Memorial Thursday, July 11 - Ohsweken Speedway (Ohsweken, ON) - $5,000-to-win Thunder on the Grand Friday, July 12 - Ohsweken Speedway (Ohsweken, ON) - $10,000-to-win Thunder on the Grand Saturday, July 13 - Southern Ontario Motor Speedway (Merlin, ON) - w/GLSS Saturday, July 20 - Merrittville Speedway (Thorold, ON) Friday, August 16 - Ransomville Speedway (Ransomville, NY) Saturday, September 7 - Merrittville Speedway (Thorold, ON) Friday, September 13 - Ohsweken Speedway (Ohsweken, ON) Saturday, September 14 - Ohsweken Speedway (Ohsweken, ON) - $20,000-to-win Northern Sprint Car Nationals Saturday, September 28 - Southern Ontario Motor Speedway (Merlin, ON) - w/OTS Friday, October 4 - Humberstone Speedway (Port Colborne, ON) Saturday, October 5 - Humberstone Speedway (Port Colborne, ON About: The Southern Ontario Sprints series sanctioned its first race in 1996, making it one of Canada's longest-running motorsports sanctioning bodies.
