Rain was on everyone’s mind as the Ontario Sportsman Series rolled into Flamboro Speedway-Authorized Page — one of the most anticipated stops on the calendar for our Rec & Ride 100. With showers in the forecast, there was real doubt whether the race would even go green. But the weather held off just long enough, and teams and fans were treated to a full night of racing at the tight and fast 1/3-mile oval.
When the checkered flag flew, it was Connor James #33 out front once again. The win not only earned him another trophy — it also tied him with Steve Robblee for the most career victories in OSS history. James’s performance was strong all night, holding off a determined Shawn McGlynn #9, who crossed the line second. Sean Mangin #47 put together a steady run to claim third and continue building momentum late in the season.
Just outside the podium, Derek McCullough #38 brought home a solid fourth-place finish, followed closely by Brad Robinson #44 in fifth. The night wasn’t without incident — Cooper Aubertin #25 spun into the wall in turn two on lap 37 and Brendan Patrick #02 and Kevin Trevellin #19 were involved in a front stretch crash 38 that brought out a caution, all drivers were okay despite the scares, the field regrouped and pressed on to the finish in front of a decent Flamboro crowd.
A noble highlight on Saturday was the admirable efforts of Kaden Patrick #86, Chad McGlynn’s #8 night was cut short by engine problems, threatening to hurt his standing in the championship battle. But in a great show of teamwork, the #86 of Kaden Patrick stepped in to run and help Chad collect valuable points by subbing in for the #8 car. It was a reminder of how even competitors can work as a team!
We want to one again thank London Recreational Racing and One Stop Auto Centre for helping to put on a great show as well as all the staff at Flamboro Speedway for ensuring our night ran as smooth as possible.
We’re off to our last race at the Varneyceum, which Gladiator will guide their chariot to victory?! Find out next time!
With a full moon and high temperatures, our AF International 100 ended with a wild turn of events last night at Peterborough Speedway! Our twin 50 lap races we’re treated as seperate races with some exceptions for incident counts and qualifying points. Our first feature of the night also counted towards our EcoTek Triple Track Challenge! Connor James #33 took first place, beating Shawn McGlynn’s record for all time wins in Ontario Sportsman Series history! Brendan Patrick #02 stood his ground as usual in second place, maintaining his position in overall points this season. Rookie to the series, Mitch Wright, took third place last night in the Two Speed Motorsports #71 car, beating out the likes of Amber Balcaen Racing #47 and Brad Robinson #44. Kevin Trevellin #19 and Mitch Wright #71 got into an altercation mid race which ended with Kevin hitting the wall hard. Everyone was okay but Kevin was out for the rest of the night. Our second feature of the night started with the finishing order of the first feature. It looked like it was going to finish with Connor James winning back to back however, in turn 4 of the last lap, the Two Speed Motorsports #33 lost power and Brendan Patrick #02, having no where to go, spun the #33, with Brendan Patrick taking the win by a hair! Connor James #33 took second, with a decision being made amungst the series race officials and the tower a few minutes after the race ended. In a twist of fate, Shawn McGlynn #9 nailed a third place finish, beating out Mitch Wright #71. Shawn’s car was actually on fire, literally, during our first practice. Having multiple issues and a bad gear, his crew, with some help from the Patrick Brothers Racing team, got a gear thrown in the #9 last minute, and flew through the second feature. Mitch Wright #71 took fourth and rookie to the season and Peterborough Speedway, Cooper Aubertin #25, took fifth place, having stayed out of the carnage all night. Amber Balcaen #47 and Brad Robinson #44 had an accident with the #47 bumping the #44 up into the turn 3 high wall. Brad was out for the rest of the race and the #47 was taken off the track as this was Amber Balcaen’s third incident of the night. Once again thank you to AF International for helping us to put on the show and the staff at Peterborough Speedway for helping ensure our night ran as smoothly as possible, all things considered. We are headed to Flamboro Speedway next as our season winds down, who will take to victory lane?! Find out soon!
A very sporadic race at Delaware Speedway last night as we embarked on our Full Blast 100! A major accident about half way through the race and an impending rain forecast ended with us squeezing in 51 laps under caution. Connor James in his Two Speed Motorsports #33, got one for Rob, winning here at Delaware Speedway and is now tied for second for all time wins in the Ontario Sportsman Series with veteran driver Shawn McGlynn.
In second, you have runner up this year Brendan Patrick in the #02. Brendan ran a clean race and avoided accidents and contact throughout the night. Being able to go bumper to bumper with Connor James, Brendan got a second place finish and retains his position in the championship race.
In third place, Derek McCullough nails a podium finish, a striking contrast to how our Patriot 100 went at Sauble Speedway. Derek McCullough just put in a new engine in his #38 and barely had any testing done before coming to Delaware last night. Being able to avoid the carnage, he maintained a tight hold on third against Todd Sheppard and finished the race relatively unscathed.
The Brimstone Games Racing team unfortunately had one of their cars wrecked in the major accident involving guest racer Amber Balcaen #27 and veteran drivers Doug Cathcart #48 and Chad McGlynn #8. However, that didn’t stop Todd Sheppard in the #47 from taking forth last night. The #47 car is currently in fifth for overall points this season, we’ll see where they find themselves in overall points after this event. In a surprising turn of events, V8 stock driver Kaden Patrick #86 takes fifth place, his best finish yet in the series! Kaden fought for fifth against the likes of Kevin Trevellin and Brad Robinson, a great finish for the Patrick Brothers Racing team.
Some highlights of the night!
– Cooper Aubertin, having run V8’s at Delaware for many years, got second in pole during qualifying and Cooper even led a lap of the Full Blast 100! A very big victory for an OSS rookie, we’re excited to see what’s in store for Cooper for the rest of 25′.
Once again thank you to Blast Floor Coating, Shelby Signs & Graphics, and Kilton Inc. for helping us to put on the show and the staff at Delaware Speedway for working with us to get the race in before the rain.
We return to the Varneyceum at Full Throttle Motor Speedway on July 26th, we’ll see you there!
A very exciting race at Sauble Speedway! The Patriot 100 was a whirlwind of ups and downs for many drivers, last year’s Sauble Speedway OSS winner Ollie Ferguson started us off with the green flag and we ended with another Two Speed Motorsports win for Connor James in his #33. Connor once again led the entire race, winning pole as well. Battling with Shawn McGlynn for most of the night, Connor wasn’t without his competition but ended up on top at the end of the race!
Kevin Trevellin in the #19 captured a second place finish at the end of the Patriot 100! Starting in sixth, Kevin was spun in the first quarter of the race and as an involved car was sent to the back of the pack. Climbing his way back to the front, a restart on lap 95 bunched the pack together and Kevin launched his way to the front coming right behind Connor James, a fantastic finish for the TrevCo Motorsports Team!
The Brimstone Games Racing team ran a great race at Sauble Speedway with special guest racer Amber Balcaen Racing taking a third place finish. Amber shook some nerves into our OSS competitors charging through the pack, she was involved in several cautions and was sent to the back twice however, that wasn’t going to stop the #47, climbing her way back to the front, beating out Kevin Gallant in the #31 for a third place finish!
The Flyin’ Farmer Kevin Gallant #31 landed a respectable forth place finish, getting all his practices in, Kevin was fast, and started third in our feature race. Shawn McGlynn in the Jackman #9, being right behind Connor James for the majority of the night, appeared to be gaining on the #33 towards the last 10 laps of the Patriot 100! As that rubber was wearing fast, the restart at lap 95 saw him fish tail on that front stretch and Kevin Trevellin, Amber Balcaen, and Kevin Gallant jetted past Shawn. Holding onto a fifth place finish, Shawn and Connor are now almost tied for most wins in Ontario Sportsman Series history. Shawn will definitely be coming for that first place finish at Delaware Speedway!
Some highlights of the night!
– Kyle Istead and Cooper Aubertin, both OSS rookies in 2025, ran the entire 100 lap race after learning this track for the first time!
Once again thank you to KAM Wire EDM Technologies Inc. and Mighty Wipes for putting on a great show! We’d also like to thank the staff at Sauble Speedway for making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night!
Get ready for some high speed action as we return to Delaware Speedway on July 11th!
A bumpy race for sure last night at Sunset Speedway! Our Seconds to Glory 100 ended with Connor James #33 winning his second race of the year in his Two Speed Motorsports car. James truly cleaned house last night with getting first in pole, leading the most laps, and being the only car to lead a lap throughout the entire race!?!
The #02 of Brendan Patrick has had the most consistent run so far in 2025 with three consecutive second place finishes! Brendan started in fifth place last night and actually had to restart at the back after pitting for an adjustment. He climbed his way back to the front and had a hard battle for second place against Brad Robinson.
Starting in second, Brad Robinson maintained his spot in second place throughout most of the night pushing Connor James hard to try and nab that first place position. The many restarts last night tightened the field up and once Brendan Patrick made his way back to the front, Brad and Brendan battled for second place all the way up to turn 4 on checkered flag. Brad finished in a respectable third place position.
The McGlynn boys we’re at it again as they fought throughout the night to get to the leaders. Shawn Mcglynn #9 landed a fourth place finish with his brother Chad McGlynn #8 sliding into fifth.
Some highlights of the night!
– Amber Balcaen, a Canadian-American race car driver, part time driver in the ARCA Menards Series and a driver for the Nitro Motorsports race team ran last night in the #27 for Brimstone Games Racing! Unfortunately her car was involved in an incident on the first lap of our feature race and could not be put back in due to mechanical issues however, we are honored to have Amber Balcaen Racing feature in our series and hope she returns soon!
Once again thank you to Somal Watches Clocks Parts & Tools Supply, 24/7 Athletic Kulture, N2Y Tire & Performance, and RBC Direct Investing Mapleview for putting on a great show! We’d also like to thank the staff at Sunset Speedway for making sure everything ran accordingly yesterday evening!

What a momentous race last night at Full throttle speedway at varney! Connor James #33, wins his first race of the year in his Two Speed Motorsports car wrapped in the late great Robert James’ old #4 theme. An emotional win indeed for the James Family and a remarkable start to Connor James’ year.
Brendan Patrick #02, led the race for most of the night! As lapped traffic mounted in the turns, he was eventually passed by the #33. Winning 2nd in the pole and gaining points throughout the night, Brendan is still in contention for the championship with consecutive 2nd place finishes!
The pole winner Brad Robinson maintained his positioning at the front of the pack holding his 3rd place spot against racers like Chad and Shawn McGlynn. The Robinson Racing team having a decent start at Delaware Speedway seemed to have finally nailed the settings for the #44. Keep an eye on Brad Robinson this year as he’s going to be eyeing a 1st place finish at our next race at Sunset.
In 4th and 5th, it seemed that the McGlynn boys were having a brotherly battle to squeeze into the top 5 however, after running into mechanical issues in the #9, Shawn Mcglynn pulled off the track and Kevin Trevellin #19 landed a 5th place finish following Chad McGlynn #8 in 4th!
Some highlights of the night!
– Kyle Istead, an OSS rookie who’s never been to Full Throttle, completed the entire 100 lap race unscathed!
– Full Throttle Motor Speedway is known for its tight layout, where contact is almost inevitable—but against all odds, not a single caution flag flew all night!
Once again thank you to Farlow’s Home Hardware and West Grey Auto Parts for helping to put on a great show. We’d also like to thank the staff at Full Throttle Motor Speedway and track owner Paul Trepanier for making sure everything ran smoothly last night!
