- Franek Wins Second Straight Julia Horton Memorial for $4,000 at Freedom
By Curtis Berleue (Delevan, NY) | For the second straight year, it was Davie Franek sitting in victory lane on the front stretch at Freedom Motorsports Park in Empire Super Sprints competition. Earning $4,000 for his efforts, Franek backed up his 2024 performance in the Julia Horton Memorial on Saturday Night. By virtue of drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Franek led the field to green alongside of Jared Zimbardi. Using the high side of the speedway, Zimbardi was able to hold pace with Franek through turns one and two, and by the time the duo got to turn four, Zimbardi had cleared Franek for sole possession of the lead. Over the next handful of laps, Zimbardi led Franek, Jason Barney Jordan Thomas and Matt Farnham. Just as Zimbardi reached lap traffic, the red flag flew for Evan Reynolds who had flipped in turn four. On the ensuing restart, Zimbardi chose the high line and was able to maintain the lead. Just a few laps later, another yellow meant another restart, and a similar outcome as again Zimbardi was able to maintain the lead on the high side. On the third restart shortly after, however, Franek was able to keep pace enough through turns one and two to clear Zimbardi and take the lead. Following along in Franek's tire tracks was Jason Barney, who took over second position. Through one more restart, the running order at the front of the field remained the same and Franek took the checkered flag first, winning the Julia Horton Memorial. "With a full fuel load, we weren't that good at the beginning of the race," said Franek in victory lane. "Once I got by Jared, I started pacing myself pretty decent. I knew if I just kept my speed up I would be good." "The track really came around here at the end, you could be top, middle, bottom. It was really, really good." Jason Barney came home in second, his best finish thus far in 2025. "All those late cautions definitely didn't help us," said Barney. "I got along side of him (Franek) on that last restart and thought I something for a second." Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jared Zimbardi. "The car just didn't take off like I wanted it to and it let Davie get next to me," said Zimbardi. "Car was really good, but those double file restarts can help or hurt you, and it hurt us tonight." 18 cars signed in to Freedom Motorsports Park on Saturday night. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Matt Farnham, Shawn Donath and Davie Franek. Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by Jared Zimbardi, Joe Trenca and Jason Barney. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Mechanical Service Company was won by Matt Tanner. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Saturday June 14th at the Evans Mills Raceway Park in Evans Mills, NY for the annual Kevin Ward Jr. Asphalt Spectacular.

- Poirier Wins First ESS Visit to Brighton

That, however, was short lived as fourth starting Shawn Donath made quick work of the cars in front of him and jumped out to the lead on lap two. Behind Donath, 6th-starting Jordan Poirier was on a similar trajectory as he moved up to second in just three laps. As the laps clicked off, Poirier held pace and inched ever closer to Donath.

He ultimately wouldn't have anything for Poirier though, as the Quebec driver sailed to victory lane for his first win of 2025.

The track was perfect tonight." Logan Crisafulli would hang on for second, his first podium of 2025. "It was fun, the track picked up speed quick," said Crisafulli. "It was really fun. I would definitely like to come back again." Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery Podium was Alex Therrien. "The top was very good at the beginning of the race," said Therrien.

- 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. 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.
