OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 5, 2026) – Slack Lumber and Bucks By Tetra presented Contractors Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway. Liam Martin, Ryan Beagle, and Jeff Elsiger took A-Main victories, while another A-Main was halted before halfway due to rain.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprints
Nick Sheridan started on pole with Eric Gledhill next to him for the for the 25 lap 360 Sprints A-Main. Gledhill brought out the red flag before the first lap was completed as he flipped off of turn one. Dylan Westbrook capitalized on the restart and took the lead. Westbrook battled with Sheridan for the lead until a caution flag flew on lap eleven due to Darren Dryden coming to a stop in turn two. The clouds opened up during the yellow flag on lap 11, drenching the track and bringing the night to an end. More information about the remainder of this race will be released soon.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Liam Martin and Steve Murdock brought the 28 car field to the green flag for the Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Martin and Jesse Costa swapped the lead multiple times in the opening laps. Martin finally got ahead of Costa and began to work through traffic on lap seven.
Two late cautions flags occurred with just five laps left to go, bunching the field back together for a sprint to the finish. Martin held off the field and took the victory, ending Costa’s winning streak. Rounding out the top five were Mack DeMan in second, Costa third, Steve Murdock fourth, and Brett Stratford fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Dylan Peckham and Kyle Andress to begin the 20 Lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Peckham led the first eight laps until Dave Bailey set up a pass for the lead. Brando Greene-Styres suffered a spin, bringing out the caution flag with twelve laps left to go.
A succession of caution flags slowed the pace, and eventually only five laps remained. Ryan Beagle navigated himself to the second position by the time the final caution flag appeared, with only his main rival Bailey ahead. Beagle made the winning pass with three laps left, while Bailey had to settle for second. Zack Bleich took the final podium spot, while Gofast Teeple and Trevor DeBoer rounded out the top five.
Insta-Insulation Mini Stocks
Tim DeBoer started on pole alongside Doug Erskine to take the green flag for the 15 Lap Mini Stock A-Main. DeBoer shot out of a cannon, putting on a sizable gap over the field. The rest of the pack were racing very hard, especially in the midfield. Ryan Farrington made a charge and briefly flirted with the lead on lap thirteen until DeBoer grabbed it right back.
Farrington went full send on the final turn for the lead, but the move resulted in a wreck which took both Farrington and DeBoer out of contention. Jeff Elsiger was in position to capitalize, and took the race win. Rounding out the top five were Cole Craig in second, Nick Erskine third, Alex Riley fourth, and Ken Hair fifth.
