Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Cars
2025 Ohsweken Speedway 360 Champion Dylan Westbrook and Texas visitor Sam Hafertepe Jr. earned front row starting positions for the 35 lap Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Westbrook took the early lead in the opening laps. Eric Gledhill and Glenn Styres suffered spins on lap three and brought out the only caution flag of the race. Westbrook managed the restart with ease as he set a torrid pace, catching slower traffic by lap nine with a 1.9 second lead over Matt Farnham.
Nick Sheridan eventually tracked down and passed Farnham for second, and used the outside line to close in on Westbrook as the laps ticked down. With time running out, Sheridan made his pass for the lead and eventual win with just five laps left to go. Westbrook then fell into the clutches of eighth row starter Ryan Turner, who was on the hunt for a fourth Nationals win. It was Sheridan’s night though, as he claimed the highly coveted $30,000 crown jewel victory by a margin of 1.9 seconds.
Turner and Westbrook claimed the final two podium positions respectively. Finishing next were DJ Christie in fourth, Farnham fifth, Hafertepe sixth, Josh Hansen seventh, Jordan Thomas eighth, Todd Hoddick ninth, and Darren Dryden tenth. Sheridan set a new event record in time trials earlier in the evening, with a lap of 13.283 seconds
