The Ontario Sportsman Series delivered exactly what was promised Friday night at Delaware Speedway, side by side racing from the drop of the green flag to the final checkered flag. The Gulf Race Fuels 100 presented by Foxy’s Speed Shop featured intense battles throughout the field, dramatic moments, and an unforgettable finish that had fans on the edge of their seats.
The race opened with an incredible fight for the lead between Derek “The Pitbull” McCullough in the No. 38 and veteran Mike Hryniuk in the No. 15, making what was announced as his final race behind the wheel. The pair traded the top spot with clean, hard racing, showcasing exactly what OSS competition is all about.
Hryniuk eventually found his way around McCullough and looked poised to end his racing career with a storybook victory. Unfortunately, after a restart, McCullough reclaimed the lead before disaster struck for Hryniuk. A spin in turn 2 sent the No. 15 hard into the backstretch barrier, ending his night prematurely. Thankfully, Mike was okay after the incident, but his race was over. Despite the heartbreaking finish, he put on an incredible performance in his final event and reminded everyone why he’s been such a respected competitor throughout his career.
Behind the leaders, Cooper Aubertin drove a tremendous race in the No. 25, keeping the front runners honest while holding onto third for much of the evening. Shawn Mcglynn in the No. 9 and Todd Sheppard in the No. 47 remained within striking distance, making every restart and every lap a battle.
As cautions mounted and the laps wound down, the race came to an exciting Green-White-Checkered finish. Derek McCullough never wavered under the pressure, driving the No. 38 to a hard-earned victory. Shawn McGlynn charged forward in the closing laps to secure second place, while Ontario Sportsman Series rookie Donavin Clark completed an impressive late-race resurgence in the No. 52 to finish third. Kevin Trevellin No. 19 quietly worked his way back through the field to claim fourth, while Cooper Aubertin’s determined drive earned him a well-deserved fifth-place finish after spending much of the race battling near the front.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to our title sponsors, Gulf Fuels Canada and InstantBond for making this event possible. It was great having Jeff LaRose throw the green flag and seeing Nathaniel Greenaway again. Thank you to everyone from InstantBond for their support of Donavin Clark’s No. 52 promotional car throughout the weekend and
A special thank you also goes out to the outstanding staff at Delaware Speedway for another professionally run event and, of course, to our incredible fans. We now turn our attention to Full Throttle Motor Speedway in two weeks. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
The Patriot 100 at Sauble Speedway, presented by Mighty Wipes and London Drive Systems was an intense battle for the podium. There was quite a bit of contact on this full moon evening and some controversial moves made that definitely kept the race fans on the edge of their seat.
At the end of the 100 laps, Connor James claimed victory with an impressive performance. Jade Franklin crossed the line in second as he battled closely with his third place contendor Kevin Trevellin.
A big thank you to Mighty Wipes and London Drive Systems for helping us put on the show and thank you to the staff at Sauble Speedway for being great hosts tonight.
What an incredible night of racing at Flamboro Speedway for the Ontario Sportsman Series Iron Man 100, presented by Akal Steel, and the opening round of the EcoTek Triple Track Challenge presented by Canada Welding Supply!
From the drop of the green flag, fans were treated to nonstop action with drivers battling hard throughout the field. The intensity was briefly halted just past the halfway mark when a medical emergency in the pits brought out a red flag. Our thoughts are with everyone involved, and we thank the emergency personnel for their quick response.
The lengthy stoppage cooled down tires and equipment, creating a whole new race when the field returned to action. Once the green flag waved again, it became clear that four drivers had separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Connor James and Jade Franklin of Two Speed Motorsports put on an incredible show, trading positions lap after lap. Right behind them was Shawn Mcglynn in the Jackson #9 machine, while Todd Sheppard and the Brimstone Games Racing team remained firmly in contention.
McGlynn eventually found a way to the front and looked poised to drive away with the victory. However, one final twist remained as a caution flew for the Flat Broke Racing #80 machine, which was sidelined with a charging issue. With the field reset, there were questions about whether who would be able to challenge for the lead, but McGlynn executed a flawless restart and held on to capture the win.
A special shoutout goes to Ricky Williger in the #08, who completed his first race with the Ontario Sportsman Series. We look forward to seeing more from him as the season progresses. It was also fantastic to see Nathaniel Greenaway back behind the wheel and competing once again.
Thank you to the staff at Flamboro Speedway for helping put on another great show, and a huge thank you to Akal Steel for coming out and supporting the series. Your support helps make nights like this possible.
The Ontario Sportsman Series now heads north to Sauble Speedway for Race #4 of the 2026 season. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter of this season has in store!
What a night at Full Throttle Motor Speedway for Race Two of the 2026 Ontario Sportsman Series season, the Grey County 100 presented by West Grey Auto Parts and Farlow’s Home Hardware was one for the books.
Rookie sensation Jade Franklin in the #13 machine picked up the victory in just his second ever OSS race, putting together an incredible performance to take home the win. Making it a huge night for the team, teammate Connor James brought the #33 home in second place, while veteran driver Chad McGlynn wheeled the famous McGlynnstang #8 to a hard-earned third-place finish.
One of the night’s standout performances came from 14-year-old OSS rookie Canadian Hurricane – Austin Seburn in the #24. After some bumping and rubbing with Chad’s #8 during the race, Austin battled his way to an impressive fourth place finish. It was a tremendous night overall for the Two Speed Motorsports team. Rounding out the top five was semi-retired OSS veteran Tim Tolton, who put together a strong run and nabbed an impressive fifth place finish
We’d like to send a huge thank you to all of the staff at Full Throttle Motor Speedway for helping us put on a great show and making the event a success. Thank you to all of the fans, teams, sponsors, and supporters who came out to be part of the action. We can’t wait to do it all again.
We’ll see everyone soon at Flamboro Speedway!
The Ontario Sportsman Series officially kicked off its season Friday night with the Gladiator 100 presented by Mccoll Racing Enterprises, and despite an incredibly difficult start to the evening, the racing community once again showed what it means to come together.
Just prior to the start of the event, our Race Director, Adam Martin, suffered a medical emergency and was unable to continue his duties. The medical staff at Delaware Speedway responded immediately, providing outstanding care and safely transferring Adam to the hospital. We are incredibly thankful to report that Adam was conscious and awake, and thanks to the quick actions of the Delaware Speedway team, he is expected to make a full recovery.
While emotions were understandably high throughout the night, the staff at Delaware Speedway stepped up in a major way to help us keep the program moving forward and ensure the event could be completed safely. Once the green flag dropped, fans were treated to an outstanding battle at the front of the field as Connor James, Jade Franklin, and Brendan Patrick traded the lead multiple times in an intense fight for victory. As promised before the event, caution laps began counting after the third caution period, adding even more pressure and strategy as the laps wound down and the drivers fought to position themselves for the final sprint to the finish. In the end, Shawn Mcglynn snagged third place with Jade Franklin in second, and you guessed it, Connor James narrowly taking first place.
We want to extend a huge thank you to McColl Racing Enterprises for their support of the Gladiator 100. Their team was excited to be part of the event and even provided complimentary hats for all of the drivers, a gesture that was greatly appreciated throughout the pit area. Events like this would not be possible without partners like McColl Racing Enterprises, and we are truly grateful for their support. Our friends at InstantBond we’re also in the stands and you’ll see more from them in 2026.
Importantly, we want to once again thank the entire Delaware Speedway staff for taking care of our friend and family member Adam Martin while also helping us complete the show under difficult circumstances.
We appreciate everyone who attended and supported the opener, and we’re already looking ahead to our next stop at Full Throttle Motor Speedway in two weeks. We’ll see you there!
This past weekend marked a highly anticipated event on the calendar — the Iron Man 100 at Sunset Speedway — and we were beyond excited to hit the track for what promised to be an unforgettable night of racing action. With high stakes, tight competition, and a passionate crowd in attendance, the atmosphere was electric. Yet, as we rolled into the weekend, there was a bittersweet feeling in the air. With the future uncertain, this may have been our final weekend at Sunset Speedway, a place that has brought so many great memories. Still, we were determined to put on a great show and leave it all on the track.
And what a show it was. From the drop of the green flag to the final caution, drivers battled hard, trading positions and swapping paint as the laps ticked down. Though ending under caution, the finish was a true nail-biter, and the action throughout kept fans on the edge of their seats.
When the dust settled and the checkered flag flew, it was Connor James #33 who emerged victorious under caution, capping off a strong drive with a hard-earned win. Shawn McGlynn #9 followed close behind, securing second place with a gritty performance, while Todd Sheppard #47 rounded out the podium with a solid third-place finish. Brendan Patrick #02 came home fourth after a consistent run, and rookie driver Paul Bogensberger Jr. #29 impressed everyone with a standout fifth-place finish in one of the most competitive fields we’ve seen all season.
As this marks the finale of our 2025 season, we’ll now begin the process of tallying final points standings, and we’ll be announcing the final championship positions shortly. It’s been an incredible journey filled with tight battles, emotional wins, and unforgettable moments.
We want to extend a huge thanks to long time partner Akal Steel for their unwavering support in getting us to the track. And of course, thank you to our drivers, fans, and partners for helping make the 2025 season one to remember.
We’re proud of what we accomplished — and even more grateful for the community that made it all possible.
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!
