THOROLD, Ont. (July 27, 2019) – Third-starting Matt Farnham of Tonawanda, NY used an outside move to get past both Baily Heard and Jacob Dykstra on lap 12 and paced the remaining eight laps to score his second win in five days. Farnham also won at Ohsweken Speedway’s Northern Summer Nationals on Tuesday night.

“Its been a good week with the win at Ohsweken and to back it up here at Merrittville is pretty awesome,” stated an elated Farnham in victory lane.

Baily Heard and Jacob Dykstra brought the field of 20 cars to the green flag for the Action Sprint Tour powered by RaceRivalz.com’s third visit of the season to Merrittville. The field was eager to try and knock Beamsville’s Josh Hansen from the top step of the podium after he won both of the events earlier this season.

On the initial start, Liam Martin, Darren Dryden, and Steven Beckett came together in turn one, with Martin the only driver unable to continue. The second attempt at the original start saw Heard jump into the lead. Meanwhile, 12th-starting Ryan Hunsinger was already up to fourth by lap four before he spun in turn one to bring out the caution.

The ensuing restart saw Heard and Farnham lead the field. The duo pulled away from the field as Hunsinger spun again in turn four to bring out the race’s third caution. On the lap seven restart, Heard continued to pace the field with Dykstra moving to take second away from Farnham.

On lap 10, Dykstra took the lead from Baily, but it was short-lived time in the number one spot. Using the outside groove on lap 12, Farnham was able to work past both Heard and Dykstra to take the lead. Dykstra’s night came to an end shortly after as he slowed off turn two.

Farnham pulled away from the field over the remaining eight laps to score his second win of the week. Current tour point leader Josh Hansen chased Farnham to a runner-up finish, while fifth-starting Paul Klager claimed the final spot on the podium. Heard and Lucas Smith rounded out the top-five.

“We had a solid finish tonight and a good points night on the tour,” said Hansen, who’s second-place result was his fifth podium finish in six starts on the tour this season.

During preliminary action, Brian Nanticoke, Steven Beckett and Liam Martin claimed heat race victories. With 20 cars signed in for competition, no B-Main was required.
