OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 10, 2026) – The Action Sprint Tour returned to competition on Friday night at Ohsweken Speedway. Jesse Costa took a big win in the tour’s first event since September of 2023.
Austin Roes and Al Sleight brought the field to the green flag for the 20 lap A-Main. Sleight and Roes raced closely at the drop of the green flag, sharing the lead until Sleight finally got clear of Roes on lap three. Sleight began to encounter traffic on lap seven which slowed down his pace and allowed Jesse Costa to creep up to the lead.
Costa made a timely pass for the lead with just five laps left to go, just before a caution flag came out. Sleight tried to mount a challenge on the restart but didn’t have the pace to complete the pass for the lead. Another yellow flag waved with just one lap to go. The sprint to the finish saw Costa take the win and move back to the top of the all-time Crate Sprint Car win list at Ohsweken. Next to finish were Liam Martin in second, Brett Stratford third, Mack Deman fourth, and Sleight fifth.
