RANSOMVILLE, NY – “Money” Mat Williamson, of St. Catharines, ON, continued his dominant season on Friday night at Ransomville Speedway, driving to his seventh 358 Modified victory of the year and eighth overall in 2025. Also celebrating wins were Cameron Tuttle of Wilson, NY (Sportsman), Josh Pangrazio of Oakfield, NY (Street Stocks), Brandon Close of Lockport, NY (Mini Stocks), and local driver Jocelyn Just (Novice Sportsman).
358 Modifieds: John Smith and Brad Rouse led the Modified feature to green, with Rouse taking the early advantage. Jesse Cotriss moved into second and Ryan Susice followed in third, with Williamson charging forward from mid-pack. Susice powered to the lead on lap nine, with Williamson close behind in third. After a Lap 13 caution, Gary Lindberg, who started 15th, joined the top-five as he battled Cotriss and Noah Walker. Williamson eventually took command, pulling away to collect his eighth Ransomville win of the season. Susice settled for second, ahead of Rouse, Walker and Cotriss.
Sportsman: Luke Blose and Derek Smith made up the front row, with Smith grabbing the early lead. Austin Susice quickly moved forward, but the first caution, on Lap 10, reset the field. Dave Conant went three-wide with Susice and Tuttle to briefly grab the lead. Conant and Tuttle then waged a long side-by-side battle, while Jake Bansmer worked into third and Derek Wagner challenged from fourth. Tuttle took control with five laps remaining and held off Conant following a late restart to secure his third Sportsman win of the season.
Street Stocks: The Street Stock feature began with Nate Tabor and Dave Stolzenberg Jr. on the front row. Stolzenberg led early until Pangrazio stormed past on lap two. Brandon Sherwood made a strong bid for the lead after moving into second on lap seven, but Pangrazio kept the field at bay. After a final restart, Pangrazio pulled away for his 10th win of the season and 22nd overall at Ransomville, tying him for fifth on the division’s all-time win list.
Mini Stocks: Jacob Flynn and Ryan Hessler paced the field, but Jeffrey Wynes quickly jumped out front. Close took over the lead on lap two and steadily pulled away, while Ryan Plante advanced to second. By Lap 10, Matt Hornquist moved into third, followed by his brother Ben and Cole Susice. Close drove to his third win of the year, comfortably ahead of Plante and Hornquist.
Novice Sportsman: Jocelyn Just led the opening lap and never looked back in the Novice Sportsman feature. Madyson Rouse and Brendan Zimmerman swapped the second spot throughout the race, with Austin Seburn running close behind in fourth. Just stayed smooth through the closing laps to score the hometown win.
