STYRES SAILS TO SOD VICTORY AT OHSWEKEN
by Tommy Goudge (June 12, 2009) – Heading into round five of Ohsweken Speedway’s Friday Night Thunder, Glenn Styres’ career sprint car feature win total stood at twenty. Styres claimed win number twenty-one in spectacular fashion after the mount on his top wing broke with less than a lap left in the twenty-five lap American Sprint Car Series Sprints on Dirt tour feature. Also claiming feature wins in the fast-paced program which ended just after 10:30 p.m. were Shayne Pierce in the ESSO Thunder Stocks, Rick Robinson in ESSO Mini Stock action, and Jesse McDonald once again in the Bomber division.
Brett Mann and Keith Dempster started on the front row of the ASCS SOD tour feature, with Mann taking the early lead. Dempster, however looked to be on a mission early on and took the lead from Mann during the third circuit. That pass was negated however when Ryan Hunsinger lost a radius rod in corner two to bring out a caution. On the restart, Mann was not about to let Dempster get by so easily and took off, leaving Dempster to fight off the advances of Ryan Grubaugh and Glenn Styres. Styres powered by both Grubaugh and Dempster during the ninth lap and set sail after Mann.
Styres drew close to Mann’s machine a number of times during the next few laps, but his progress was hampered in lapped traffic. After a caution at halfway for a spin by James Evans cleared the traffic, Styres made short work of Mann, blasting by on the top side coming out of corner four on lap fifteen. Mann was left to contend with Ryan Grubaugh and a hard-charging Dustin Daggett for the remaining ten laps, with Grubaugh eventually taking over the runner-up spot.
With the white flag in the air, Styres’ lead seemed insurmountable, until the supports for his top wing began to come apart. Going through the final set of corners, the wing flipped back completely, but Grubaugh was too far back to take advantage of Styres’ misfortune. Styres crossed the line just over one second ahead of Grubaugh, while Mann held on for third, followed by Daggett, and Mikey Kruchka who charged all the way from eighteenth on the grid.
Heat races for the twenty cars in attendance were won by Dustin Daggett, Jared Zimbardi, and Keith Dempster, while Daggett also claimed the four lap Fast Car Dash in record time on the very fast surface. Jared Zimbardi’s lap of 13.346 seconds on his way to the heat victory is the fastest recorded lap ever at the Speedway for a 360 Sprint Car.

Wickham Gets Much Deserved Edelweiss Win
By MIKE MALLETT
Contact: MikeM@empiresupersprints.com
CANTLEY, PQ – Tommy Wickham has come close to winning an event at the Autrodrome Edelweiss in the past. He’s had second place finishes and then last season he had a win go by the wayside when he had a motor expire in his No. 75.
Friday night all the pieces finally fell together for Wickham giving him his second career Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprint 25-lap A-Main feature event win. It was also his first win in the Northwood 2 Construction/LaSalle Canadian Sprint Car Series.
“This place owed us one,” said a smiling Wickham after the event. “It seems like every time we have come here we’ve finished second. I had a motor let go with five laps to go last year. It feels great to finally win one.
” Wickham started on the pole with Justin Harris to his outside. He and Harris battled as they raced into turn one with Wickham grabbing the lead as he raced off the bottom of turn two.
Once in front, Wickham pulled away from the competition and made his way quickly into slower traffic. He didn’t have to battle for long as he was saved for a moment when Chuck Hebing got into the wall in turn four bringing out the caution on lap five.
On the restart, Wickham held the lead while Rick Wilson looked to the outside in turn two. Wilson went for the lead in turn three but he went into the corner too hard causing the car to loop around on him bringing out the caution for the second time.
Racing resumed with Wickham getting away from all challengers. He had a comfortable lead as laps clicked off. It cut into when he reached slower traffic on lap 14.
Wickham mainly worked the bottom of the speedway but he was able to move around with his Jimmy D’s powered J&J to get by the cars running at the tail of the field when necessary.
“The traffic was hard get through at times but eventually I made my way through it,” said Wickham. “I was lucky though because I could move around when I needed to. This car was awesome tonight.
”The field got one more shot at the 22-year-old Constantia, N.Y., driver on lap 20 when Sylvain Erickson spun in turn two.
For the restart, Wickham had the slower car of Daniel Lampron between himself and the second place running car of Brian McDonald. Wickham pulled away while McDonald took a couple of laps to get by the slower car of Lampron.
Wickham felt the pressure of McDonald during the final two laps of the race but he was able to hold him off for the win.
“I looked up at the number board there under the last caution and I knew he (McDonald) was behind me,” stated Wickham. “I heard him a couple times there in the last few laps but I knew if I kept running the line that I had been I would be alright.
”McDonald, of Cornwall, Ont., finished a close second to Wickham with his Engine Research powered Maxim. McDonald needed a couple more green flag laps to make a move on for the lead.
“He was running the middle and you could see him getting looser as the race went on,” stated McDonald. “I was getting better on the bottom and maybe another lap I would have had something for him (Wickham). He deserves this one though, he ran a great race.
”McDonald was happy to be in the position to challenge for the race lead after he started the feature from the outside of the fifth row. He utilized all parts of the speedway to work his way forward.
“I got lucky around the top when guys got bottled up on the bottom,” said McDonald. “I got by some guys on the bottom, my car was great down there too. I could go where a lot of guys couldn’t.”
McDonald’s teammate, Lee Ladouceur, of Alexandria, Ont., crossed the line in third with his Maxim ride. It was his best finish to date. He’s suffered through some early season motor woes which finally got worked out on Friday night.
“We replaced the parts (in the motor) that have been a problem for us,” said Ladouceur. “We bought some new parts and it looks like it fixed the problem. This should give us a head start on the next few races and hopefully allow us to stay up front
. Alain Bergeron charged from the 12th starting position to finish fourth with his Don Ott powered J&J. He was chased to the line by St. Mathieu de Beloeil, PQ, driver Steve Poirier.
Pit Notes: 20 cars entered into competition for the first of two events at the Quebec oval…Paul Pekkonen, David Renaud and Sylvain Erickson made their first starts of the season…Hebing was out of the feature early when a tire came off the rim sending him into the wall in turn four…Anthony Cain flipped in hot laps but was able to make repairs to start the A-Main…Normand Beaudreault took a hard hit in his heat when his car shot into the outside wall of off turn four. He was taken to a hospital in Hull, PQ., with some broken bones. He is expected to make full recovery.

Styres Soars to ASCS SOD Win with Broken Wing
By T.J. Buffenbarger: , OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 12, 2009) - It’s often said if one cannot win try to be spectacular. Glenn Styres accomplished both by scoring his second career Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP Friday at Ohsweken Speedway.
Styres rim rode around his own race track to pass early leader Brett Mann, hold off challenges from Ryan Grubaugh and overcome the back mounts of his top wing breaking on the final lap.
“I felt the wing starting to turn up near the end,” said Styres after the feature. “Thankfully (the wing) didn’t flip up until the last lap.”
After Ohsweken officials reworked the race track Mann and Styres’ teammate Keith Dempster started on the front row of the 25-lap main event. Mann led the first lap, but Dempster and Mann battled back and forth for the lead until a caution for debris just as Dempster took the lead. During the caution Ryan Hunsinger went pit side and was unable to make it back on track in time for the restart.
Mann got a good jump at the restart while Styres quickly moved through the field using the top side of the track. Stryes went from fourth to second in two corners and set sail after Mann. Quickly catching Mann, Styres was held up a couple of times in lapped traffic and allowed Mann to get away. After a mid-race caution for James Evans, Styres had a clear track and took the lead from Mann.
From there Styres stretched out his advantage while Grubaugh moved Mann back to third. A late race caution for another spin by Evans allowed Grubaugh to close the gap, but was unable to take advantage as Styres pulled away.
Then after taking the white flag Styres wing began to wobble going through turns one and two and down the backstretch. Then while going through turns three and four the rear portion of his wing tree snapped and flipped the wing into an inverted position. Styres cruised across the finish line just ahead of Grubaugh, Mann, Dustin Daggett, and Mikey Kruchka from 18th starting position to fifth for hard charger honors.
The race to the SOD cup continued to change at Ohsweken. After Gregg Dalman capitalizing on Mann’s bad luck last week at I-96 Speedway to take the point lead Mann took the lead back with his third place finish as Dalman finished 11th.
Daggett, Jared Zimbadi, and Dempster won heat race events for the 20 car field. Daggett won the fast car dash.

ASCS CANWEST: Back to BCR
Edmonton, AB. June 13th, 2009
Back to BCR
From William Gold:
The ASCS CanWest would like to announce on behalf of Bridge County Raceway and several Lethbridge businesses the return of 360 Sprint car racing to Western Canada’s fastest clay oval. After a long absence, this highly anticipated event has become a reality and race fans can mark Saturday July 18th on the calendar to be at Bridge County Raceway for the return of the “Battle at Bridge County”.
“First and foremost we need to thank James and Kathy Hadnagy for allowing this race to take place”, states ASCS CanWest Director William Gold, “Also local race veteran and BCR supporter Don Miller and Elrich Tire really stepped up to make this show a reality”. Gold continues, “It has been a long haul to get all this together and without the efforts of those mentioned this race would still be in the planning stages”.
New for the fans of Sprint car racing in Southern Alberta will be the ASCS racing program that the teams of the ASCS CanWest adhere to. The ASCS rules package supports the largest group of open wheel racing in North America. Founded in 1992, the American Sprint Car Series now sanctions well over 200 nights of racing annually throughout the United States and Canada with its National Tour and over a dozen Regional circuits. Nearly 1,000 different drivers competed in at least one ASCS event over the course of the 2008 season.
This race at BCR compliments an already exciting July for the racers of the ASCS CanWest division, adding to the major events list that includes the Prairie Dirt Weekend in Winnipeg & Swift Current as well as the 55th running of the Gold Cup in Edmonton.
The CanWest racers will be running an Alberta double header for the Bridge County Raceway event which includes a Friday night showdown at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton then down south to once again "Battle at Bridge County".
More information on complete purse, event times and pricing will be made available ASAP. Keep an eye on www.bridgecountyraceway.net or www.ascscanwest.com for the latest information.
