Ohsweken, ON – (Friday September 17th, 2010) – Glenn Styres and Dustin Daggett were victorious on Saturday night during the Twin-15’s during the Night Before the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway. By virtue of winning the features both Styres and Daggett are guaranteed a starting spot in Saturday’s $10,000 to win 35-lap Canadian Nationals Finale.

“Everyone comes to this race with new motors, new cars, and we were finally in the position to do that,” said Styres. “I was able to flat foot it all the way around. Everything worked out.”

Styres and Daggett both started outside of the front row of their respective feature races. Styres held off Jessica Zemken during a mid-race restart while Daggett put on a dominating performance through slower traffic to top Shane Stewart in his 15-lap feature.

“The car was perfect tonight,” said Daggett. “The track was in great shape and my crew did a great job getting the car right, even after we broke a rear end after the heat race.”

Jason Solwold, Jason Barney, Zemken, Justin Barger, Darren Long, and Daggett won the six qualifying heat race events.
