LaFargeville, NY (July 24, 2026) – The third round of the 2026 Action Sprint Tour tuned by Matco Tools saw the traveling drivers invading Can-Am Speedway to take on the track’s Panther Frameworx Crate Sprint Car regulars. George Sanford successfully defended home turf against a large field.
George Sanford drew the pole and took the lead over Josh Verne Jr and Andrew Hennessy when the feature race began. Sanford had one of the fastest cars on track, but Verne was keeping the leader close in the early laps. By the halfway point, both Sanford and Verne pulled away for the rest of the field, establishing themselves as the drivers to beat. On lap 16, the yellow flag flew for Adam Turner, who slowed while running 5th. On the restart Sanford stayed in front, but Josh Verne Jr. changed his line and began to run down the race leader and made several challenges for the top spot.
As the laps clicked off Sanford was doing everything to hold off the four-time track champion. The final yellow flag flew on lap 24, setting up a one lap shootout for the win. On the final restart George Sanford would grab a comfortable lead and march on to his first ever Action Sprint Tour win in his first ever series start. Josh Verne Jr. crossed second with series points leader Liam Martin scoring his third straight podium finish on the tour. Ken Klinkowsky won the B-Main and charged from 21st to 4th, with Bruno Richard 5th.
