Westbrook becomes all-time SOS wins leader with Buxton victory

MERLIN, ON – Dylan Westbrook had a record-setting night on Saturday at Buxton Speedway with the Southern Ontario Sprints series. The driver from Scotland, Ontario, set a new single-lap track record in his heat race and capped the night off with a victory that moved him to the top of the all-time SOS win list.

Ryan Turner and Skyler Evans earned front-row starting positions for the 25-lap A-Main, and Evans quickly opened a commanding lead. Westbrook moved forward and began to reel in the 14-year-old leader as traffic came into play. Westbrook took advantage when Evans slipped high in turn two and took over the top spot, while Evans later spun.

Westbrook led the rest of the race unchallenged and took the 33rd Southern Ontario Sprints series feature win of his career. The win moved Rick Wilson to second on the all-time list after decades at the top. Turner took the runner-up spot, followed by championship leader Darren Dryden. DJ Christie recovered from trouble in his heat race to finish fourth, while Alex Bergeron rounded out the top five.

Ryan Turner set a new Buxton Speedway time trial record, while DJ Christie earned hard charger honors. Turner’s lap of 13.348 seconds is the new time trial standard at Buxton, while Westbrook’s lap of 13.138 seconds in his heat race is the fastest recorded at the Southwestern Ontario speedplant.
