Thomas Wins ESS Season Finale at Outlaw Speedway

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the second time in 2024, Jordan Thomas is an Empire Super Sprints winner. After taking the lead on lap 8, Thomas never looked back en-route to a $4,000 victory in the annual Hoag Memorial at the Outlaw Speedway.

Pinnacle Pole award winner Chase Moran and Jared Zimbardi brought the field to green for the 25-lap event. Zimbardi took an early lead utilizing the high side of the speedway, with Moran falling into second.

Moran’s time in second was short lived, however, as fourth starting Jordan Thomas quickly made his way by the driver of the #4p. With his sights set on the lead, Thomas and Zimbardi would trade slidejobs for a handful of laps, while Moran and Shawn Donath battled behind them for the third position.

As the field clicked off lap 9, Thomas had managed to get by Zimbardi before the first caution of the event flew for DJ Christie, who had a flat left rear tire.

On the enduing restart, Thomas chose the high side of the speedway. Zimbardi would hold pace with Thomas for a handful of laps, but as the duo reached lap traffic Thomas was able to extend his lead.

One last restart with a lap remaining gave Zimbardi a final attempt to get by Thomas, but Thomas slid himself going into turn one to protect the bottom and sailed away to his second victory of the season.

“It’s really good to cap off the year with a win,” said Thomas in victory lane. “I raced him (Zimbardi) a little harder than I wanted to, but it worked out in the end.”

“He’s a really good racer, been doing it a long time. On those restarts when I saw he was lining up next to me, I knew I had to play a little bit of a game to get an advantage.”

Jared Zimbardi held on for second after leading the first 7 laps.

“He had the dominant car for sure,” said Zimbardi. “When I’m running the top pretty much wide open and all the sudden, I heard him through the middle, I knew we were in trouble.”

“I’ve been able to watch Jordan mature over the years, and that last restart – that was a mature move. I didn’t expect him to go to the bottom, I expected him to blast the top and when he did that it caught me off guard.”

With a new car to end the season, Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“I was pretty happy with that thing, it was ripping tonight,” said Donath. “I could go anywhere. These guys gave me one heck of a racecar, I could run bottom, middle, top.”

“I was a little nervous when we got out there and the dew set in, but the track was super-fast.”

26 cars signed in for the final night of action for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jason Barney, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek. E&V Energy Heat wins went to Joe Trenca, Zimbardi and Ryan Turner. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Logan Crisafulli.

While on track action has concluded for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024, there is still one event remaining on the schedule. The annual awards banquet and rules meeting will be held on Saturday, November 9. More information on that event will be released in the coming days.

Varin Wins Fulton; Poirier Crowned ESS Champion

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | After waiting out a rain delay of over 12 hours, it was Danny Varin who sat in victory lane at the Fulton Speedway early Saturday afternoon. Rain showers late in the program on Friday night caused the postponement of the remainder of the program, including the final two Empire Super Sprints heat races until Saturday Morning.

Pinnacle Pole sitter Sammy Reakes IV took charge of the field from the drop of the green flag, leading the first 16 laps. Danny Varin, who had started third, spent the first 8 laps in third before getting to second on lap 10.

Just 6 laps later, Varin was able to get by Reakes IV for the top spot. Behind Varin, Jordan Poirier and Nick Sheridan battled for the podium. A last-lap effort by Poirier to get by Varin came up short, and it was ultimately Varin who came out on top, claiming his 5 th win of the season.

“I felt pretty good before that last caution, but the last caution had me nervous,” said Varin in victory lane. “This is huge for this team. We want more wins, but everybody else is really, really good. It’s been tough this year, we’ve hit a low spot this last month but my wife told me before we came up here that I owed her that trophy, so we snagged it.”

Jordan Poirier not only finished second in the A-Main, but also clinched his third tour championship in as many years.

“We were bad at the beginning of the feature, and then during the red flag I messed with my wing a little bit,” said Poirier. “I got better after that to end up on the podium.”

“We’ve been like second or third all year long, we were never the fastest but just consistent. We kept our nose clean and were always there. It’s a testament to this team. We didn’t break anything this year, we finished all our races.”

“At the end of the day that’s what we aimed for at the beginning of the season and to win the championship, it feels so good.”

Nick Sheridan held on to third place, rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“This is awesome, its our first time coming down here,” said Sheridan. “This track is great, we’ve never really raced anything this slick before, so we were trying some stuff with the setup. It was a little free but I’m not going to complain. There are some really good drivers in front of me.”

On Friday night the field was split into four timed hot lap groups. Matt Farnham, Chris Hile, Jason Barney and Nick Sheridan all earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. The first two E&V Energy heat races were completed before the rain came, with Logan Crisafulli and Joe Trenca picking up wins.

As the program resumed Saturday morning, Jason Barney and Nash Ely won the final two E&V Energy heats.

The final scheduled on-track event for the Empire Super Sprints this season is Friday October 18 th at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the annual $4,000 to win Hoag Memorial weekend.

Franek Victorious in ESS Outlaw Fall Nationals

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the fourth time in 2024, Davie Franek sat in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Friday night. After leading just the final three laps, Franek was able to cash in and take home the big check in the Outlaw Fall Nationals at Outlaw Speedway.

Pinnacle Pole Sitter Matt Farnham and Shawn Donath brought the field to the green flag for the 25-lap affair, with Farnham taking the early lead over Donath, Matt Tanner and Davie Franek.

While Farnham and Donath had opened a sizeable gap over the rest of the field, fifth-starting Jason Barney quickly worked his way into the top three utilizing the extreme low side of the speedway. When the leaders reached lap traffic, however, Barney was able to close the gap and moved past Donath into second. Just two laps later, Barney continued his march forward and took the lead from Farnham.

A caution on lap 16 led to a hectic restart, as Donath got sideways between turns one and two. Somehow the driver of the #53 was able to avoid catastrophe and gathered it back together, only losing two spots in the process.

Another restart with just four laps to go again bunched up the field, and working the extreme high side of the Speedway, second running Davie Franek got by Barney with just three laps remaining and never looked back, adding another win at the Outlaw Speedway to his resume.

“There was a little thin curb up there,” said Franek in victory lane. “I really didn’t want to show him (Barney) my nose because I didn’t want him to move up.”

“On the restart there he knew I was on the outside and he kind of crowded me a little bit, but that’s what you gotta do. I had to match with him in the middle of three and four – I just hit the curb enough where I got a little drive, and the rest was history.”

Coming home second was Donath, who recovered well from his mid-race setback.

“On that restart I thought Jason was going to slide across and try to pinch me on the top there, and he didn’t move up and I had nowhere to go,” said Donath. “We were able to recover, the track was super racey and we were pretty good wherever we went.”

After leading 10 laps, Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“Thankful to be down here, the racetrack was good, we had good track position,” said Barney. “Early in the race, the bottom was good and really no one was there. I thought we had enough racecar to win but obviously we didn’t.”

“When you’re leading you don’t really know what to do, where to go. He (Franek) did a good job. That one stings a little bit but happy to be third.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups to start the night, with Matt Tanner, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. E&V Energy heat wins went to Jordan Poirier, Jason Barney and Matt Farnham, while the Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Jeff Halligan.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Friday October 4^th at the Fulton Speedway in Fulton, NY as part of the annual Outlaw 200 weekend.

RYAN TURNER WINS IN 20TH EDITION OF NORTHERN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS AT OHSWEKEN

ESS SprintsResults-2024

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 14, 2024) – Nitro 54 Variety, Arrow Express, and Sit’n Bull Tire presented the 20th Running of the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway on Saturday; Ryan Turner took the $30,000 A-Main win for the 360 Sprint Cars, while Brent Begolo won in the Crate Sprint division.

Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Cars

J.J. Hickle and Cory Turner earned front row starting positions for the 35 lap Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Hickle had a dream start to the race, quickly catching the back of the 30 car field by lap six. Cory Turner became the new leader on lap eleven after chasing Hickle down. Turner’s lead was short-lived though, as Aaron Turkey spun and brought out the caution flag. Josh Hansen claimed the lead on the restart, becoming the third leader of the race, while Hickle began to fade through the field.

2024 Ohsweken track champion Dylan Westbrook started in the tenth row, but began to make his presence known as he raced himself into fifth place with ten laps to go. Two-time Nationals champion Ryan Turner also moved steadily forward from a row seven start and eventually passed Hansen for the lead on lap 27.

Anyone who saved their tires turned up the wick in the closing laps, however this hard racing resulted in contact between Jason Barney and Westbrook who were both inside the top five at the time. The damage led to Westbrook crashing hard into the inside wall in turn one and flipping, bringing out the red flag. Both drivers were unharmed in the accident.

The restart set up a three lap dash to the finish, and saw Ryan Turner stay up front to win his third Northern Sprint Car Nationals and the $30,000 grand prize. Nick Sheridan pushed hard, but had to settle for a runner-up finish after running out of fuel. Hansen took the final podium spot, followed by 2023 Nationals winner Mike Bowman in fourth, and Cory Turner in fifth. Jordan Poirier took the Hard Charger award after coming from the B-Main to finish sixth in the A-Main, while Joe Trenca, Liam Martin, Matt Billings, and Darren Dryden claimed top ten finishes.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke and Keegan Baker brought the field to the green flag for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Baker made quick work of Nanticoke, taking the lead of the race by the end of the first lap.

Baker had to hold off the field of stout drivers on several restarts as multiple caution flags fell during the race. He successfully kept the pressure under control all the way up to four laps left to go when traffic began to play a role.

Northern Crate Nationals champion Brent Begolo bided his time behind Baker, applying tremendous pressure on the young racer. Baker suffered a punctured left rear tire after contact while negotiating traffic, allowing Begolo to snatch the lead with just two laps left to go.

Begolo went on to claim another victory in his rookie season, quickly becoming an impressive driver in the Crate Sprint division. 2024 track champion Brett Stratford finished in second, with New York racer Josh Verne Jr finding the final podium position. Mack DeMan finished in fourth, while Lucas Smith rounded out the top five.

Jordan Thomas Gets Redemption at Weedsport

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a heartbreaking mistake while leading on the last lap the last time the Empire Super Sprints were in town back in July, Jordan Thomas was hungry for redemption as the tour returned for the finale of the ‘Cavalcade Cup’. And get redemption he did, as he led the final 15 laps en-route to a $2,000 victory.

Logan Crisafulli and Scott Kreuter would lead the field to the green flag, with Crisafulli taking the early lead down the backstretch. Kreutter followed in second, but Jordan Thomas slipped by him before the flag stand to take over the runner-up spot.

With 5 laps complete, the lead duo of Crisafulli and Thomas had opened a significant gap over the rest of the field. Joe Trenca was solidly in third, with Kreutter and Matt Tanner racing for the fourth position.

As Crisafulli worked his way through lap traffic on lap 10, Thomas used that to his advantage and was able to pull right to the tail tank of the #36. Switching his line from high to low, Thomas slid Crisafulli going into turn 3, and exited turn 4 with the lead, leading lap 12.

Working the high side of the speedway, Thomas was able to masterfully work lap traffic and extend his lead over Crisafulli. Behind Crisafulli, Larry Wight had climbed to fourth and was trying everything he could to get by the #98 of Trenca. On lap 20, Wight slid Trenca in turns 3 and 4, but Trenca was able to cross him over and defend third for the time being.

With a clear track ahead of him, Thomas crossed under the checkers first, earning his first victory of the season.

“The car was really good, it was a really technical track tonight,” said Thomas. “It really slicked up compared to what we had in the July race.”

“It feels good to get the win, we’ve got a big week of us headed into Ohsweken, a lot of money on the line and we run pretty good up there, hopefully we can bring home some money.”

Logan Crisafulli continued the momentum he has built over the second half of the season and racked up another podium finish, coming in second behind Thomas.

“I was kind of hoping lap traffic would help me a little bit there,” said Crisafulli. “He had a fast car all night though, so I’m just glad to be up here. This car has been awesome lately, hats off to my team.”

At the line, Larry Wight slipped by Joe Trenca to round out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I just needed a caution to regroup everyone,” said Wight. “I think we definitely had a second-place car, I couldn’t see the 79 to see where he was, I figure he was probably ripping the lip though.”

“This is the second race on this car, and it hasn’t finished off the podium yet so we’re happy with it.”

With 30 cars in the pits for the final night of the Cavalcade Cup weekend, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Poirier, Kelsey Ivy and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat race wins went to Larry Wight, Chris Hile and Matt Tanner, while the Kinney’s Kar Kare Dash was won by Chase Moran. Davie Franek won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at the Ohsweken Speedway for a non-points event. The tour’s next full points event will be on Friday September 20 at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the $4,000 to win Outlaw Fall Nationals.

Joe Trenca Victorious at Fulton Speedway

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | Continuing the trend of new faces in victory lane, Joe Trenca picked up the win on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints at the Fulton Speedway. After riding in second for the majority of the event, he passed Johnny Smith for the lead with two laps to go to secure his first win of 2024 with the Tour.

After drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Johnny Smith jumped out to the early lead over outside polesitter Joe Trenca. The lead duo would remain that way for the majority of the event.

While Smith and Trenca paced the field, the show was behind them as both Jason Barney and Billy VanInwegen started mid pack and were meticulously working their way through the field.

Having started 14^th, Barney had worked his way permanently into the top 10 by lap 5, and on lap 11 had begun to pick off cars lap by lap, moving into the top 5 with just 3 laps remaining.

VanInwegen was writing a similar story, having started 8^th, he worked his way into fifth by lap 3 and then up to fourth on lap 13.

With just two laps to go, Trenca was able to get by Smith, who had led the entire race up until that point and lead the final laps to pick up his first victory of 2024.

“I could run the bottom, and I knew my pace was really good but the lap cars didn’t work out,” said Trenca. “We ran each other clean and we got the win.”

“He (Smith) could have shut the door on me hard there and he raced me clean. I was really good through the middle, I could use the wing to try to capitalized on that (slidejob) and we did it.”

Johnny Smith was able to hold on for the runner-up position.

“Halfway through the race we lost brakes, and I knew I was getting held up by lap traffic,” said Smith. “He (Trenca) did a phenomenal job and I knew that if we got another yellow then I was going to be out of luck – I’m really happy to come home second.”

Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We have enough race car, enough crew and enough engine, the driver just doesn’t always do the right things and do his job the best that he can,” said Barney. “Last night was disappointing, we just moved forward to tonight. We felt like we learned some things, or at least did some things we know worked instead of doing things that don’t.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Billy VanInwegen, Logan Crisafulli and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Poirier, Sammy Reakes IV and Jordan Thomas. The Cobra Coaches dash went to Shawn Donath.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Sunday September 1^st at the Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY.

Crisafulli Earns First Empire Super Sprints Win at Brewerton

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After a handful of strong runs in the month of August, including a podium last weekend at Autodrome Drummond, Logan Crisafulli has finally broken through to Empire
Super Sprints victory lane.

After setting Rifenburg Contracting quick time in his timed hot lap group and drawing the Pinnacle Pole, Jonathan Preston led the field to the initial green flag, but it was outside pole sitter Trevor Years who would lead the first two laps.

Preston was able to get by Years to take the lead on lap three, where he would stay for the next handful of laps. Lap 9 saw Dalton Rombough inherit the lead from Preston, with 7 th starting Logan Crisafulli hot
on his heels in second.

After stalking Rombough for 5 laps, Crisafulli was able to sneak by him for the lead on lap 15. While perennial Brewerton favorites Larry Wight and Danny Varin were chasing Crisafulli, they weren’t able to get past the driver of the #36 and he was able to hang on for his first Empire Super Sprints victory.

“Theres not a whole lot of brown down there (on the bottom),” said Crisafulli in victory lane. “I knew it worked, so I had to try it, and it continued to work if I hit my marks.”

“I knew I could at least come side by side with the guys behind me out of the corner, so I knew that if they were able to get by me on the high side, I could at least try something different.”

Larry Wight came from the 12 th starting spot to finish second.

“I just tried to hit my marks, hit my marks,” said Wight. “The bottom was fast, but you had to hit it right. If you missed it a little bit then you’d be spinning off, but if you could keep the car straight you could use
a little throttle.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.

“I just think we were too good way to early,” said Varin. “Great job by them (Crisafulli), they’ve been fast the last couple of races, just ran out of time.”

With 27 cars pit side for the first of three nights of action on the Labor Day triple header weekend, the field was broken into three timed hot lap groups to start the evening. Jonathan Preston, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups, while Davie Franek, Larry Wight and Sammy Reakes IV picked up E&V Energy heat race wins. Joe Trenca won the Cobra Coaches dash, and Chris Hile picked up the victory in the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Jordan Poirier Picks Up Empire Super Sprints Win at Drummond

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Drummondville, QC) | After years of trying, Jordan Poirier is finally an Empire Super Sprints winner in his home province of Quebec. The two time and defending champion has been close to a win in Quebec multiple times, and on Saturday night all of the stars aligned for Poirier as he picked up $3,000 for his efforts.

Bryan Cloutier was the Pinnacle Pole Award winner, and as such brought the field to green alongside of Alex Bergeron. Cloutier jumped out to the early lead and paced the field for the first eleven laps.

Behind Cloutier, Bergeron was holding steady in second with Logan Crisafulli in third, having a solid run for the second night in a row.

Quebec native and current points leader Jordan Poirier started in fifth and had slowly been picking off cars, moving into the top three on lap 6, and then getting by Bergeron for second on lap 7.

By lap 11, Poirier had the lead and never looked back, crossing the line first and picking up his first ESS win in his native province of Quebec.

“Tonight was somewhat of a dream,” said Poirier. “Tonight, everything was just going our way. We had a really good car at the beginning, felt good and that restart we were able to just get away.”

“It was so good to win in front of a crazy crowd like that.”

Logan Crisafulli came home second, a career best ESS finish for him.

“We found our way up, the engine wasn’t right the whole night,” said Crisafulli. “I just tried to keep going and going, and luckily is lasted the whole race.”

Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“Solid finish again tonight, third from seventh – the car was fast,” said Donath. “The 21 car changed his line the last lap, which helped us. Overall the car was great. We were good last night and then it broke. Tonight we were able to pick up where we left off.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Jordan Poirier, Matt Tanner and Joe Trenca earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Heat races were won by Jordan Porier, Alex Therrien and Joe Trenca.

Before the A-Main, Autodrome Drummond honored 8-time ESS Champion Steve Porier for his accomplishments in both a modified and sprint car. In addition to being tied for the most ESS Championships, Poirier is also the winningest driver in tour history with 77 wins.

Saturdays event at Drummond was the final event of the Coffrage 4 Saisons Canada Tour. Jordan Poirier is the 2024 tour champion.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 30^th at the Brewerton Speedway in Brewerton, NY where the tour will kick off a Labor Day weekend triple header. Saturday, the tour moves to the Fulton Speedway just up the road in Futon, NY and on Sunday the weekend concludes at the Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY.

Jason Barney wins at Autodrome Granby

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | On the first night of a two-night trip to Quebec for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Jason Barney sitting in victory lane. Worth $3,000, it was Barneys first victory at the Granby, Quebec track and his third win overall of 2024 on the tour.

Pinnacle Pole Award winner Logan Crisafulli jumped out to the lead on the initial green, though the field failed to complete a lap as the red flew for a flipping Matt Tanner in turns three and four.

On the restart, Crisafulli again jumped out to the lead, this time with Jason Barney in tow, moving up from his third starting position.

As the lap counter clicked 5 laps complete, Crisafulli had opened up a nearly two second advantage over Barney and third place Jordan Poirier. He would hold that lead until the second red of the even flew on lap 15, this time for Davie Franek who flipped after catching the inside wall in turns one and two.

When action resumed, Crisafulli’s night abruptly came to an end as he made contact with Barney entering turn one, bringing out another caution.

On the ensuing restart, Barney was able to quickly open a lead over Shawn Donath and Jordan Poirier, who were battling for second. With 5 laps remaining, Poirier took sole possession of second place as Donath began to slip backwards.

While Joe Trenca was able to get by Donath for third with three laps remaining, nobody had anything for the #87 of Barney, who picked up his third win of 2024.

“This isn’t exactly one I’m too proud of,” said Barney in victory lane. “I completely wiped Matt (Tanner) out, I just went in the corner on the start and had no brakes. I couldn’t feel any worse for him right now.”

“Logan, I thought I had position on him, I didn’t know he was there. Just not how I wanted to win a race. I feel bad for everybody.”

Jordan Poirier came home second, and Joe Trenca rounded out they Ashley Lynn Winery podium finishing in third.

In front of a packed house, the field was split into two timed hot lap groups with Logan Crisafulli and Matt Tanner earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V heat race wins went to Danny Varin and Jordan Poirer.

VanInwegen Pockets $5,000 for Cole Cup Victory at Utica Rome

ESS SprintsResults-2024

By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | After breaking into victory lane a few weeks ago, Billy VanInwegen became a repeat winner in 2024 with the Empire Super Sprints on Saturday. Earning $5,000 for his victory, VanInwegen joined a short list of drivers who have gone to victory lane in the Cole Cup.

As Matt Farnham and Danny Varin brough the field to the initial green flag, it was Farnham who took the early advantage down the backstretch. His lead was short lived, however, as Varin slid him going into turn 3 and would be officially credited with the lap.

A caution on lap two slowed the field, and on the ensuing restart Farnham got took the lead using the high side to his advantage. Unfortunately for Farnham, however, the caution flew again before a lap was completed undoing his efforts yet again.

By virtue of a caution directly following a restart, the field lined up single file for the restart, and this time Varin was able to open up a lead over Farnham. Behind the lead duo, Jonathan Preston followed comfortably in third, with Jordan Thomas and Billy VanInwegen battling for the fourth position.

By lap 12, VanInwegen had gotten by Thomas for fourth. Using a double file restart to his advantage, he then moved past both Preston and Farnham just one lap later to take second.

Behind Varin and VanInwegen, Davie Franek had been quietly working his way through the field from his 9^th starting position. With 6 laps to go, Franek moved into a podium position, getting by Farnham for third.

Misfortune struck on lap 19 for Varin, as he ran out of fuel as the red flag came out for Joe Kata who had flipped in turns one and two. As such, each driver moved up one position as he relinquished the lead, making VanInwegen the leader with Franek in second and Farnham in third.

With three laps to go Jordan Poirier slid Farnham for third, but the leaders were too far gone. As the field crossed the checkered, it was VanInwegen picking up the win.

“There was nothing comfortable about that last lap,” said VanInwegen in victory lane. “I ran out of fuel with about a lap or a lap and a quarter to go, it was spitting and sputtering.”

“We had a really good car from the drop of the green, any time we could make up a little ground it seemed like the yellow would come out and put us back. A lot of guys ran out of fuel, we did too, we just had enough to get to the checkered.”

Crossing the line second was Davie Franek, coming all the way from the 6^th row.

“Our car was pretty decent, it’s just tough starting 11^th,” said Franek. “You battle, battle, battle and by the time you get to the good guys up front your stuffs just about wore out.”

“We could have been a little better at the beginning of the race, we always struggle with that. We were neck and neck on that restart, but he (VanInwegen) did what he had to do, and those guys work hard at it so congratulations to them.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jordan Poirier.

“It feels super good to finish third,” said Poirier. “At the beginning of the feature I didn’t expect to be moving forward, but we were really good on restarts. I was good on the bottom, decent on the top and I could maneuver my car. Fourteenth to third, I can’t complain about that.”

25 cars signed in for the 2024 version of the Cole Cup, and as such the field was split into three timed hot lap sessions. Picking up Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards were Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV. E&V Energy heat wins went to Logan Crisafulli, Robbie Stillwaggon and Davie Franek, while the Cobra Coaches dash was won by Shawn Donath.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 23^rd at the Autodrome Granby in Granby, Quebec, followed by Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec on Saturday August 24.
