7.23.19 Action Sprint Tour Results

By Tommy Goudge

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 23, 2019) – Johnny Miller and Jesse Costa brought the Action Sprint Tour Feature to the green flag, and Miller led the first lap before Costa drove around the outside to take the lead exiting turn four to complete lap two. The yellow flag then flew for DJ Christie who stopped on the track with suspension damage. The following lap saw Lucas Smith get pinched into the backstretch wall and retire with heavy damage.

Costa held the lead on the restart, but Matt Farnham reeled in the leader in traffic and stole the top spot on lap 13. Farnham made a daring move in traffic to open a gap on the rest of the field and cruised to the feature win. Costa settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Liam Martin, Hannah Ferrell, and Brad Herron.

Johnny Miller, Brad Herron, Liam Martin, Jordan Hill, and Jerry Hill won their qualifying heats, while Terry Baker, Brandon Murrell, and Baily Heard won B-Features. Hannah Ferrell won the Ackland Insurance Top Gun Award for accruing the most heat race passing points.
