OHSWEKEN, ONT (September 12, 2025) — The 2025 edition of the Northern Sprint Car Nationals had sprint cars take to the track at Ohsweken Speedway for competition on Friday with Jesse Costa winning the Northern Crate Nationals for the Strickland’s Brantford Chevrolet Crate Sprint Cars while D.J. Christie and Jordan Poirier won the twin 15 lap features for the Kool Kidz-Corr Pak Sprint Cars, guaranteeing them top 10 starting positions in the Northern Sprint Car Nationals finale on Saturday.
Costa dominated the crate sprint car feature starting on the front row and leading all 35 laps for the $5,000 top prize. Eric Gledhill, Andrew Hennessy, Josh Verne Jr, and Jacob Dykstra from 12th starting position rounded out the top five.
