OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 12, 2019) – Ohsweken Speedway officials are pleased to announce the Gale’s Auto Aftermarket Performer of the Week for September 6th is Hannah Ferrell and the No.4 Strickland’s Brantford Chevrolet Crate Sprint team. The weekly award showcases a driver or team that exhibits outstanding effort and performance during the Friday Night Excitement events at Ohsweken Speedway.
In the 20-lap feature of the final points night, Hannah Ferrell and Jesse Costa led the field to the double green flag start. Ferrell quickly took point for the lead with Costa racing close behind in the 2nd position. Ferrell continued to hold the lead as the field came into lap traffic on lap 5. Ferrell opened up a lead of several car lengths over Costa, Spencer Davis, Nick Sheridan and Lucas Smith. Lap 8 saw Ferrell slowed up in lapped traffic but still maintaining the lead with Costa gaining ground on the top side of the track. When Ferrell became mired in traffic on the inside line, Costa used his momentum on the top side to take over the lead at lap 14. Costa held the lead for the next four laps until Ferrell, running the bottom groove of the track, regained the lead with two laps to go. With three lapped cars between Ferrell and Costa, Ferrell raced to victory in a green to checkers feature over Costa to celebrate her first career win in the # 4 Strickland’s Brantford Chevrolet Crate Sprint car. Jesse Costa, Jacob Dykstra, Lucas Smith and Nick Sheridan rounded out the top 5.
