OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 7, 2024) – Braemar Buildings and Plazek Auto Recyclers presented Touch-a-Truck and Tractor Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Lance Erskine, Kyle Wert, Ken Hair took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Josh Hansen and Dylan Swiernik brought the 24 car field to the green flag for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. A caution came out before the first lap could be completed due to and Eric Gledhill spin. The restart of the race was successful and Hansen led the first lap. Swiernik finally got around Hansen for the lead of the race on lap ten. Calamity struck for Cole MacDonald as he spun to a stop and brought out a caution on lap eleven. Matters got worse for MacDonald on the restart as he flipped on the backstretch after colliding with D.J. Christie.

Swiernik maintained his lead after the restart, but Dylan Westbrook had marched steadily forward from row nine and overtook Swiernik for the lead with two laps to go. The win was Westbrook’s third straight at Ohsweken to start the season. Rounding out the top five were Swiernik, Hansen, Matt Farnham, and Ryan Turner.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Caleb Wood started on pole with Steve Murdock next to him for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. The start saw an immediate red flag thrown due to Tom Pellezari flipping. Pellezari was unharmed but the damage to his car was too severe to continue. The restart was clean with everyone settling into the race nicely. Wood led the first seven laps, but relinquished the lead on lap eight to a hard-charging Lance Erskine.

With just a few laps left to go, Erskine had to navigate through traffic with great finesse. His precision driving led to him securing his first career win in the Crate Sprint Car division after working his way up through the ranks in the Micro Sprint division. Next to cross the finish line were Murdock in second, Jesse Costa third, Darrell Pelletier fourth, and Ashton VanEvery fifth.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Adam Plazek started on pole alongside Aidan Nigh to take the green flag for the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Lap one started out with a caution flag, restacking the field for a restart. Plazek led the first lap, but a red flag was thrown on lap two due to Lyle White flipping on the backstretch. White’s race car was severely damaged and could not carry on further. Jim Lampman capitalized on the restart and become the new race leader.

Lap six saw Kyle Wert become the new race leader after he hunted down Lampman. Wert proved to be the driver to beat as he pulled away from the field easily and took a very well-earned victory. Finishing behind Wert were Lampman second, Ryan Beagle third, Dave Bailey fourth, and Ron Loggie fifth.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Aiden Maynard and Christopher French to begin the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Jeremy Cooper quickly jumped from third on the grid to race leader before the first lap was complete. Lap three had a caution flag, bringing the field back together for a restart. Mason Anderson took advantage of the restart and took the lead, however Ken Hair took that spot away from him on the next lap.

A caution flag came out on lap ten, setting up a five lap dash to the finish. Hair maintained his lead after the restart, holding off the field to take his first Ohsweken win of the season. Rounding out the top five were Anderson in second, Alex Riley third, Dusty DeBoer fourth, and Nick Erskine fifth.
