OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 28, 2026) – Ontario Agra and Stirling Lubricants presented the action on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway. Skyler Evans, Cody McPherson, Jesse Costa, and Ken Hair took A-Main victories.
Southern Ontario Sprints
Dylan Westbrook started on pole with Skyler Evans next to him for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Evans took the early lead as the caution fell due to a four car pile up on lap two. Evans took the lead once again until the race stopped due to Kyle Phillips colliding into the back stretch wall with twenty laps left to go.
Evans got the better of Westbrook on the restart as he pulled away in the lead. Westbrook tried everything in his arsenal to get around his teammate, but Evans proved victorious as he navigated lap traffic to his second ever win. Evans dominating performance saw him lead every lap and set the fastest lap time. Next to finish were Dylan Westbrook in second, D.J. Christie third, Josh Hansen fourth, and Cory Turner fifth.
RoC Sportsman Modifieds
Cody McPherson and Brad Rouse led the 26 car field to the green flag for the Sportsman Modifieds A-Main. Rouse led the opening laps with a healthy lead over McPherson and the rest of the field.
Rouse stood tall on multiple race restarts leading each one, however the final caution of the race fell with just six laps left to go, this time McPherson got the upper hand and passed for the lead. Rouse then fell into the clutches of Nigel Pendykoski, falling into third place in the closing laps. McPhearson picked up the victory with Pendykoski and McPherson joining him on the final two podium steps respectively. Closing out the top five were Derek Wagner in fourth and Matteo Panunte fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
The front row of the grid featured Johnny Miller and Larry Gledhill to begin the 20 Lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. A caution fell before the first lap could be completed. Gledhill took the lead on the restart with great race pace.
Lap traffic was at play as Jesse Costa made his move for the lead around Gledhill with eight laps remaining. Costa held off the field in two late race restarts to secure another victory of the season. Steve Murdock claimed second after passing twelve competitors while Gledhill claim yet another podium. Rounding out the top five were Liam Martin in fourth and Johnny Miller picking up his first top five finish of the season in fifth.
Insta-Insulation Mini Stocks
Christopher French started on pole alongside Chase Mitchell to take the green flag for the 15 Lap Mini Stock A-Main. Mitchell had the pace as he took the early lead. Nick Erskine kept Mitchell honest though as he was following closely behind.
Mitchell looked destined to win as the laps were ticking down, however a late race caution extinguished his lead with just two laps remaining. Mitchell charged out of the restart with Ken Hair close behind. Hair successfully performed a last lap slide job off turn four for the win. Mitchell settled for a second place finish with Nick Erskine taking the final podium spot. Next to finish were Craig Cole in fourth and Tim DeBoer fifth to round out the top five.
