Side Bites

A few very notable events coming up in the month of August for the Westerrn Renegade Non-Wing Sprint Car Series. They start off with August 1st and 2nd at McLean County (Coal County Classic).

Next up, the Western Renegades take their show on the road to Saskatchewan for their first ever Canadian sanctioned event at Estevan Motor Speedway on Saturday, August 9th  This is the first time traditional sprint cars have been featured at the high-banked 3/8 mile dirt oval and promises to be a night of racing that fans should not want to miss.

Finally, the biggest annual event of it's kind, the North Dakota Non-Wing Nationals takes place at Devil's Lake Speedway on August 30th and 31st. Teams from both the Western Renegades and Northern Renegades will converge on Doyan, North Dakota on the Labour Day weekend. Last year's event saw 31 cars pitted and with new drivers in the mix for 2025, the number of participants could exceed that number.

Manitoba's 2025 dirt track racing season officially kicked off with a Saturday event at Morden's Dead Horse Creek Speedway.  Originally scheduled for a Friday-Saturday affair, a soft track from rain earlier in the week prevented the speedway from opening on Friday, but persistence paid off to get the track in shape for Saturday.

RAD Torque Raceway, Leduc, Alberta May 23rd Results

Following the cancelation of racing at RAD Torque Raceway on Victoria Day long weekend, the Alberta Extreme Sprints were able to run their rescheduled opening weekend on May 23 and 24.

May 23, Alberta Extreme Sprints (8 cars) Feature: Brody Anderson, Paxton Fleming, Paul Rolo, Marc Wiersma, Matt Preece, Ed Wiersma, Decklyn Fleming, Chris Matise.

May 24, results were not available at the time of posting.

Next events scheduled for the Alberta Extreme Sprints are June 20th and 21st at RAD Torque Raceway.

Musings

Rain seemed to be the word of the week as many tracks were forced to cancel their events early due to wet conditions. 

Western Renegade Non-Wing Sprintcar Series

The Western Renegade Non-Wing Sprintcar Series had 3 nights of racing over the Memorial Day long weekend cancelled because of the wet stuff.  This, however, did not stop some of the teams from travelling further and running with the Northern Renegades at Gondik Law Speedway, WI and North Central Speedway, MN.

Kelly Miller 

Lethbridge, Alberta's Kelly Miller has been a force to be reckoned with in regional 360 sprint car racing. Since the 2025 ASCS Frontier Region season started, he has won 3 out of 4 events in Montana. This past weekend, his Saturday night trip to victory lane at Electric City Speedway was even more special as he is now tied for the all-time most feature wins (17) along with Joe Ramaker and Logan Forler.

Friday Night Racing Fix

I started watching GForceTV on YouTube last year and really enjoyed their broadcast of dirt track racing at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario. The broadcast is as good a quality as any you will find, plus it's absolutely FREE to watch.  After a day of working hard, it's nice to be able to come home, have a bite to eat, settle in and watch an evening of sprint car racing.

Outlook Stock Car Track

Outlook Stock Car Track, Saskatchewan, adjusted their schedule slightly and held a Test and Tune on Sunday.afternoon.  Not all of the regular cars were available for a season opener, so a change was necessary. 9 cars attended the afternoon practice session. When a smaller community dirt track relies on every car they can get on race day, sometimes these things happen.

Next scheduled event weekend for Outlook is June 28th and 29th

Racing Into June

June is fast approaching and that means that all Canadian dirt tracks will be open for business. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and fun season of racing.  Whatever aspect of racing you are involved with, it's always appreciated.
