MERLIN, Ont. (June 7, 2025) – Dylan Westbrook won the first round of the Gold Crown Super Series with the Southern Ontario Sprints on Saturday night at Buxton Speedway.
Westbrook drew the pole position for the 25 lap A-Main and scored the $5,000 win in convincing fashion. The win was Westbrook’s second of the weekend following a trip to victory lane at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday. Darren Dryden snagged the runner-up spot by 0.25 seconds over Ryan Turner, while Cory Turner, and DJ Christie rounded out the top five.
Ryan Turner claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Skyler Evans was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. Alex Bergeron received the Tilbury Wraps & Signage Long Haul Award for making the long trip to Buxton from Drummondville, Quebec. Cory Turner earned $200 by winning the Dash for Cash.
Jamie Turner’s trip back to Buxton fresh off a wingless win the previous weekend was an adventure; the veteran driver first had to deal with overheating problems on his way to the track.
Next on the SOS schedule is the Gary Cunningham Memorial at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday, June 21. Please visit www.southernontariosprints.ca for race results, points standings, and more information about the Southern Ontario Sprints.
