THERRIEN & PARKER win Night Before Nationals at Ohsweken
360 Sprint Car NSCN Twin 15’s
Dylan Swiernik and Alex Therrien brought the field to the green flag for the first of the Twin 15’s for the 360 Sprint Cars. Swiernik enjoyed his lead until he made a mistake on lap four, driving too high off turn four, allowing Therrien to grab the lead. Swiernik tried to mount a comeback to no avail as Therrien drove away with the clean air, picking up the victory and redemption from where he finished second last year. Rounding out the top five were Dylan Westbrook second, Swiernik third, Jordan Poirier fourth, and Skyler Evans fifth.
The second of the Twin 15’s had Danny Varin and Price Miller Parker on the front row. Varin took off like a rocket leading the opening laps. No one had anything for Varin as he was in front by over five seconds. With three laps to go it looked like Varin was going to lock himself into the big race until he spun out in the lead bringing out the caution. Parker assumed the lead, winning the race in the final laps. Next to finish were Jason Barney in second, DJ Christie third, Davie Franek fourth, and Josh Hansen fifth.
The wins guaranteed Therrien and Parker top ten starting positions in Saturday’s $20,000-to-win Northern Sprint Car Nationals A-Main.
