OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 18, 2025) – Gale’s Auto Aftermarket and County Line presented Gale’s Cash Blast Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway. Dylan Westbrook, Steve Murdock, Ryan Beagle, and Alex Riley took A-Main victories.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
DJ Christie started on pole with Baily Heard next to him for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Christie led the first lap, however it was short-lived as a caution flag came out due to Ashton VanEvery stopping on the track on lap two. Nick Sheridan capitalized on the restart, rocketing ahead into the lead. Sheridan began to pull away and built a 1.2 second advantage over the field.
An untimely caution came out on lap twelve that extinguished Sheridan’s lead. Dylan Westbrook managed to get the better of Sheridan on the restart and took over the lead. With a clean track ahead of Westbrook, he went onto win the race and pick up his 47th victory in the Ohsweken 360 Sprint Car division. Next to finish were Sheridan in second, Christie third, Ryan Turner fourth, and Mike Bowman fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Adrian Stahle and Ryan Fraser brought the 28 car field to the green flag for the Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Stahle quickly looked like the driver to beat as he led the opening laps with ease, even defending his position on a restart after Trevor Young brought out the caution flag on lap eight.
Steve Murdock began to gnaw away at Stahle’s lead, sizing up an overtake for the lead. Stahle tried to react to the pass, but fell quickly into the clutches of Al Sleight, Holly Porter, and Brett Stratford. Murdock navigated brilliantly in traffic and secured his first victory of the season. Rounding out the top five were Sleight in second, Porter third, Stratford fourth, and Stahle fifth.
