OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 16, 2022) – Mike Bowman was the Action Sprint Tour Crate Sprint Car series fueled by Pinty’s winner for the second night in a row on Tuesday at Ohsweken Speedway.

Adrian Stahle and Allan Downey brought the field to the green flag to begin the A-Main. A total of 24 drivers qualified for the 25 lap A-Main via timed hot laps and a B-Main. In a repeat of Monday’s race, Mike Bowman quickly overtook Stahle and Downey for the lead.

Pole sitter Stahle fell down the running order as Brett Stratford moved into the third position after starting tenth. Bowman hit all his marks as he began lapping cars; this time however, Darren Dryden was hot on his heels waiting for Bowman to make a mistake. Both drivers raced spectacularly and cleanly while navigating through traffic, putting on an amazing show for the packed crowd.

Despite all the pressure and having a looser-driving car compared to the day before, Bowman held off Dryden for his second win in as many nights. The top five finishing order saw Bowman in first with a new 25 lap track record for Crate Sprint Cars, with Dryden second, Stratford third, Lucas Smith fourth, and Luke Stewart fifth.

The Action Sprint Tour will next be in competition at Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday, August 20, and Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday, August 21. Visit www.actionsprinttour.com for more information.
