MERLIN, Ont. (June 15, 2024) – Dylan Westbrook continued his red-hot start to the 2024 season on Saturday night at Buxton Speedway. Westbrook has won all seven of the Sprint Car features that he has competed in thus far, including both Southern Ontario Sprints series events.
Tyeller Powless and Dylan Westbrook started on the front row for the 25 lap feature. Westbrook dominated the race, slowed only by a handful of minor caution flags. Liam Martin took the runner-up spot, followed by Powless, Ryan Turner, and DJ Christie. Creative Edge Heat Race wins went to Westbrook, Ryan Turner, and Christie.
Martin claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award and set a new track record in the process, while Ashton VanEvery was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. Several drivers ran laps at or below the track record in their heat races and feature; Westbrook’s lap of 13.785 seconds in the feature now stands as the fastest recorded lap ever on the new Buxton layout.
A total of 19 cars were entered for the second round of the 2024 SOS season, and many of those teams removed their wings to compete in the Ontario Traditional Sprints series event later in the evening. Westbrook also claimed the OTS win to sweep the unique Sprint Car doubleheader.
The next SOS event is the Gary Cunningham Memorial at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday, June 22. Please visit www.southernontariosprints.ca for race results, points standings, and more information about the Nitro 54 Variety Southern Ontario Sprints presented by Tammy 10 Media.
