OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 15, 2025) – Six Nations Bingo and Lone Wolf Fireworks presented Community Night plus Modified Lites on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway. Dylan Westbrook, Shawn Sliter, Jesse Costa, Dave Bailey, and Wayde Thorne took A-Main victories.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Dylan Westbrook started on pole with Darren Dryden next to him for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Westbrook took the early lead with a fantastic start, however a caution flag came out due to a pile up occurring on lap two. Westbrook defended the restart well as he maintained his lead. It didn’t take long for Westbrook to put a two second gap over the field as he began to encounter traffic.
A late-race restart couldn’t stop Westbrook from winning the race as he collected his 48th career win in the 360 Sprint Car division at Ohsweken. Ryan Turner made a last minute pass for a second place finish over Nick Sheridan. Next to finish were Cory Turner in fourth, and Jordan Poirier fifth in a second Glenn Styres Racing entry.
Modified Lites
Sean Iftody and Leroy Buscumb brought the field to the start the 20 lap Mod Lites A-Main. Iftody led the first lap until Josh Sliter claimed the lead for himself on lap two after starting in row two. Tyler Winger spun and brought out the caution flag on lap four. Josh Sliter held off the pack, however he couldn’t shake off Cohen Corbett who was nipping at Sliter’s heels.
Corbett sent it a bit too hard and slid off turn four on lap eight, spinning out of second place and bringing out a caution flag. Shawn Sliter claimed the lead on the restart and never looked back as he went on to win the race. Rounding out the top five were Josh Sliter in second, R.J. Pietz third, Iftody fourth, and Corbett fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Keegan Baker and Jesse Costa brought the 28 car field to the green flag for the Crate Sprint Car A-Main. The up-and-coming Baker set the pace as he opened up the race with a healthy lead over the pack. A pile up on lap four set up a race restart where Baker relinquished his lead to Costa. Baker tried to claim the lead back, however Costa defended with great accuracy.
Costa endured two more restarts to claim his third win of the season and keep his championship hopes alive. Next to finish were Brett Stratford in second and Baker third to take his first podium finish. Rounding out the top five were Jacob Dykstra in fourth and Eric Gledhill in fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Scott McPhail and Ryan Dinning to begin the Thunder Stock A-Main. Dinning grabbed the early lead, however Dave Bailey tracked him down for the lead on lap eight. Bailey capitalized on his lead once he got into clean air, and could see his 50th Ohsweken Thunder Stock win in his sights. The road to it was a challenge though, as Bailey survived multiple race restarts and the talents of Ryan Beagle, who was ready to pounce at any mistake for the lead.
Bailey didn’t put a wheel wrong though, as he successfully claimed his 50th win and stretched his record atop the all-time winners list. Beagle settled for a second place finish, while Mike Klazinga took the final podium spot. Rounding out the top five were Dinning in fourth and Gofast Teeple fifth.
Insta-Insulation Mini Stocks
Mike Sarantakos started on pole alongside John Lubeck to take the green flag for the Mini Stock A-Main. Tristan DaSilva took the early lead on the first lap after starting fifth on the grid. Wayde Thorne became the second leader of the race after claiming it from DaSilva on lap four.
The highly competitive Mini Stock field again raced the distance with zero caution flags. This allowed Thorne to win the race by a full second over the rest of the pack. Finishing out the podium were Dusty DeBoer in second, and Sierra Robinson third for her first podium finish. DaSilva finished fourth, and Tim DeBoer rounded out the top five.
Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway

The Ohsweken Speedway weekly Friday Night Excitement divisions will also be in competition, including the Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and Insta-Insulation Mini Stocks.
