Ohsweken, ON — (June 30, 2015) — Glenn Styres won the Triple Crown Showdown on Tuesday at Ohsweken Speedway.

hampionship contender Mitch Brown and rookie Dylan Westbrook were on the front row for the 360 Sprint Car feature. Westbrook took the lead and stayed put in the face of several Glenn Styres slide job attempts before eventually giving up the lead on lap 14. Brown, meanwhile, fell back as far as 6th before starting to move forward again. Stewart Friesen gained 3 spots in the first 5 laps before a mechanical problem forced him to the sidelines.

Westbrook fought back after Styres got by, but lost ground as the race wound to a conclusion while Todd Hoddick worked on taking the second spot. Westbrook’s hopes for a major upset win were dashed when he got over the cushion and suffered a front suspension problem on the last lap. Brown was caught up in the incident, and wound up finishing 15th. Styres stayed ahead of Hoddick to take the win, followed by Steve Collins, Keith Dempster, and 19th starter Jim Huppunen.
