The tour and dash sponsors were recognized first, and the Board of Directors, officials, officers, and volunteers were thanked for helping make 2023 a great season. Drivers with perfect attendance and feature wins were then acknowledged. Out of the 24 races, there was a record 16 different winners with three drivers earning their first win.

Jordan had the best stats with 21 tops 10s and 14 tops 5s and placed 2^nd in the Coffrage 4 Saisons Canadian Tour, 2^nd CNY Speedweek, 3^rd Rifenburg Contracting Fast Time Series, and 2^nd in the PJC Spray Foam Hard Charger Series. In his championship speech, Jordan thanked his crew, especially Mathieu, family, and sponsors. He credited his consistency to the belief that 95% of your success on the racetrack comes from the work in the shop.

Numerous specialty awards were also handed out. ESS had two rookies that ran neck and neck throughout the season. With his 11^th place finish on the tour, Logan Crisafulli earned the Lane’s Yamaha Rookie of the Year in the Mike Stelter owned #36.

Paulie Colagiovanni, with his win at the last Speedweek race at Brewerton Speedway, earned the CNY Speedweek Champion award. Shawn Donath accomplished an interesting feat by earning both the Rifenburg Contracting Fast Time Award and the PJC Spray Foam Hard Charger Award. The Mechanic of the Year award, which is voted on by the teams, was given to Briahna Donath, Chase Guptill, and Matt Pitre from the Shawn Donath race team. They were recognized for their efforts in keeping the #53 in the championship hunt all season.

His outstanding career consisted of 77 ESS wins (tied for the most), 7 Canadian Series Championships, 5 Quebec Series Championships, 6 Dash Series Championships, 6 Interstate Series Championships, 4 US Series Championships, the Mal Lane Award of Excellence, Outstanding Newcomer Award, and the National 360 Rookie of the Year from the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum. In an emotional speech, Steve thanked his family, crew, and sponsors. He remarked on his success, the competition in ESS, and the friendships he formed over his 14 years in racing sprint cars.

ESS President Chuck Miller, who is retiring after 38 years, was honored with the Malcolm Lane Award of Excellence. Past President, Dick Carberry, presented the award and walked us through Chuck’s ESS career. A montage of videos was shown, from past and present drivers and officials, as a tribute and thank you to Chuck for his commitment and dedication to ESS.

Thank you to the tracks, drivers, teams, officials, and officers for a terrific race season! We will see you in 2024 at a track near you to watch “America’s Race Cars” in action.

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | With just three events remaining on the 2023 Empire Super Sprints 40^th Anniversary schedule, the tour will head to the Fulton Speedway in Fulton, NY this weekend.

After a strong top five performance by Donath, Poirier’s advantage now sits at just 21 points headed into the final 3 nights of competition.

While the championship will likely be awarded to either Poirier or Donath, the battle for third is even closer between Jason Barney and Dylan Swiernik, as Swiernik is just 8 points behind Barney. Jeff Cook rounds out the top five.

Rain Postpones Completion of ESS Invasion of Weedsport to October 3

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | Just one day after completing another weather-interrupted event, Mother Nature again decided to interfere with the Empire Super Sprints Invasion of the Weedsport Speedway on Saturday, September 9.

26 winged sprint cars filled the pits at Weedsport Speedway on Saturday, which would mean the field would be split into 3 time hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Joe Trenca, Chris Hile and Chuck Hebing in their respective groups.

With the invert, Jordan Poirier took home the victory in E&V Energy heat race 1 through a spirited battle with Joe Trenca. Chris Hile advanced one spot to pick up the win in E&V Energy heat 2, and Shawn Donath won E&V Energy heat 3 coming from the third starting position.

Chase Moran picked up the Cobra Coaches Dash Series presented by Monroe Mechanical Services, Inc. worth $100. Unfortunately, after the dash the skies opened up and the remainder of the event could not be completed. The original plan was to complete the program the following day, Sunday September 10, but another day of unstable forecasts and already saturated grounds caused further postponement of the event. The event will now be completed on Tuesday October 3 during Super Dirt Week.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Saturday September 16^th at the Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario for the Northern Sprint Car Nationals paying $10,000 to win. The event will be a non-points event for ESS competitors.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Saturday, September 16 – Ohsweken Speedway – Ohsweken, ONT ($10,000 to Win Northern Sprint Car Nationals, no points)

ESS Set For Completion of 8/4 Event at Utica Rome, Weedsport Return This Weekend

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | As the summer starts to fade away and turn to fall, the Empire Super Sprints 40^th Anniversary tour enters the final two months of action. A common theme throughout the season has been doubleheader weekends, and the final one of the year is on tap this coming weekend with the final visit to the Utica Rome Speedway on Friday September 8, and the only visit of 2023 to the Weedsport Speedway on Saturday September 9.

The August 4^th event at Utica Rome Speedway fell victim to Mother Nature after heats and the Cobra Coaches Dash had been completed. As such, this Friday will see the remainder of the program only with hot laps, the B-Main and finally the A-Main for the 360 sprints.

Saturday, the tour moves just west down the thru-way to Weedsport for the first time since September of last year. On that night, Larry Wight was victorious, and is sure to be tough to reckon with again as he is every time he straps into a sprint car as evidenced by his charge through the pack last Friday at Brewerton. Saturdays Cobra Coaches Dash series dash will be presented by Monroe Mechanical Services, Inc., paying $100 to the winner of the 4 lap shootout.

Defending champion Jordan Poirier still holds the points lead over Shawn Donath and Jason Barney. Dylan Swiernik currently sits in 4^th position, and Jeff Cook moved into the top 5 after last weeks doubleheader at Brewerton and Fulton.

Gate times, admission prices and nightly schedules for each of this weekends events can be found on the tracks web and social media pages, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, September 8 – Utica Rome Speedway – Vernon, NY ($2,000 to Win Make-Up Feature from 8/4)

Saturday, September 9 – Weedsport Speedway – Weedsport, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Saturday, September 16 – Ohsweken Speedway – Ohsweken, ONT ($10,000 to Win Canadian Sprint Car Nationals, no points)

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | As the 40^th Anniversary tour of the Empire Super Sprints enters the final two months of competition, another doubleheader weekend is on tap with a Friday and Saturday show at the Brewerton and Fulton Speedways respectively this weekend.

For the third and final time in 2023, the tour will first hit Brewerton Speedway this Friday night, September 1 for another $2,000 to win main event. In two previous stops this season, Danny Varin (May) and Paulie Colagiovanni (June) were each victorious. Both drivers are sure to be a factor once again, with Varin riding some positive momentum after two podium finishes last week north of the border in Quebec.

On Saturday, the stars and cars of the Empire Super Sprints move just down the road to the Fulton Speedway for their third visit of the season. Way back in the April season opener, it was Jason Barney who found victory lane. In May, Sammy Reakes IV was victorious, and Mother Nature took the ‘W’ for what was supposed to be the CNY Speedweek finale on July 1.

With just a handful of points paying events left on the schedule, defending points champion Jordan Poirier still holds the current points lead with 1842 points over Shawn Donath, who has 1762 points. Jason Barney, Dylan Swiernik and Matt Tanner round out the top 5 in the points standings.

This weekends Cobra Coaches Dash Series dash’s will be presented by Dylan Terry Photography (Brewerton) and Northern Welding & Fabrication (Fulton).

Empire Super Sprints Set to Make Return to Quebec This Weekend

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) |For the first time since 2019, the Empire Super Sprints are headed back to the province of Quebec for a doubleheader at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond this weekend, August 25 and 26 for a pair of $3,000 to win events.

A recurring theme on the 40^th Anniversary schedule is returning to tracks after a multi-year hiatus caused by the worldwide pandemic. This weekend is the latest example of that, as both tracks have a storied history with the Empire Super Sprints, but neither have been able to host the tour since 2019.

The last time the tour visited both Granby and Drummond, it was Paulie Colagiovanni who found victory lane. Quebec native and current points leader Jordan Poirier has yet to sit in Empire Super Sprints victory lane at either track, though he does have a history of success at both tracks.

Sitting just behind Poirier in the standings is Shawn Donath, who trails by just 3 points. With nearly identical statistics as Poirier thus far, Donath has been consistently fast everywhere he has unloaded and shows no signs of slowing down as the tour hits the final stretch of events in 2023. Two-time champion Jason Barney currently sits third in the points standings, followed by Dylan Swiernik and Jeff Cook to round out the top five.

Information regarding gate times, admission prices and nightly schedules for both of this weekend’s events can be found on each track’s social media pages and websites, along with the ESS social media pages.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, August 25 – Autodrome Granby – Granby, QC ($3,000 to Win)

Saturday, August 26 – Autodrome Drummond – Drummondville, QC ($3,000 to Win)

Friday, September 1 – Brewerton Speedway – Brewerton, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Empire Super Sprints Set for Return to Utica Rome and Fonda

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | As the calendar on the 40^th Anniversary season for the Empire Super Sprints turns to August, the tour is right back in action with another doubleheader weekend, this time at the Utica Rome and Fonda Speedways.

First up on Friday, the tour heads back to the Utica Rome Speedway for the third time in 2023. Back in May, it was Paulie Colagiovanni who found victory lane at the Vernon, NY ½ mile oval. Then, as part of CNY Speedweek, it was Danny Varin who came out on top in June. With both drivers continuing to show speed late into the season, a repeat performance is not out of the question though a strong contingent of drivers is expected to be on hand looking to make sure that doesn’t happen.

The following night, the tour heads just east down the thru-way to Fonda Speedway for its second visit of 2023. In one previous visit this year, it was Shawn Donath who found victory lane. Donath has not finished outside of the top 10 on any given night since June and currently sits second in the points standings just 3 points back of leader and defending champion Jordan Poirier.

Saturdays visit to the Fonda Speedway will also be the annual Earl Halaquist Memorial. Each year, the Earl Halaquist Memorial is held in honor of one of the most accomplished sprint car drivers in the Northeast, Earl Halaquist. Competing across NY, NJ, PA, VA, NC, MD VT, Canada and more, Halaquist amassed 53 URC wins and six championships.

Halaquist, a World War II veteran, was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, IA in 2000 before his passing in 2001.

Former Executive Director of the National Sprint Car HoF and fellow inductee Thomas Schmeh is once again spearheading a lap sponsorship program. Laps are available to purchase through Thomas via Facebook message or email to iowabasedtraveler@yahoo.com and 100% of the money collected goes directly to each lap leader.

A special thank you goes out to Kinney’s Kar Kare for presenting Friday night’s dash at Utica Rome, and Herrington Farms for Saturdays dash at Fonda. Information for start times, admission prices and nightly order of events for this weekend’s races can be found on both tracks social media pages and webpages, along with the ESS social media pages.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, August 4 – Utica-Rome Speedway – Vernon, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Saturday, August 5 – Fonda Speedway – Fonda, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Friday, August 25 – Autodrome Granby – Granby, QC ($3,000 to Win)

$3,500 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals Up Next for ESS

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | With inclement weather causing the cancellation of last weekends scheduled trip to the Albany-Saratoga Speedway, the Empire Super Sprints now turn their attention to the Outlaw Speedway this coming Friday night for the annual running of the Outlaw Summer Nationals.

The 40^th anniversary tour for the Empire Super Sprints was originally set to kick off at Outlaw Speedway earlier this season, but a spring with challenging weather ultimately led to the cancellation of that event. The tour will now get another opportunity at the 4/10-mile oval in Dundee, NY, this time for a $3,500 to win main event in a program that will be co-headlined by the ULMS super late models.

Friday’s trip will be the first of 3 visits to the Outlaw Speedway that remain on the schedule in 2023. Though the tour has not made a visit to the Yates County oval since 2019, it has a robust history at the track. 80 feature events have taken place in Dundee, with the first dating back to August 3, 1984. The most recent ESS winner at the track is former World of Outlaws competitor Lucas Wolfe in October of 2019.

Leading the charge into Outlaw is defending champion Jordan Poirier, who has been in command of the points lead since early June. Hot on his heals is Shawn Donath, who has been consistently fast since the beginning of the season, followed by Jason Barney, Dylan Swiernik and Jeff Cook.

Fratto Curbing has come on board to sponsor the Cobra Coaches Dash Series dash for cash, paying $100 to the winner. A full listing of admission prices, gate times and the nightly schedule can be found on both the Outlaw Speedway website and social media pages, along with the Empire Super Sprints Facebook page.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, July 28 – Outlaw Speedway – Dundee, NY ($3,500 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals)

Friday, August 4 – Utica-Rome Speedway – Vernon, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Saturday, August 5 – Fonda Speedway – Fonda, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Empire Super Sprints Return to Albany-Saratoga for Second Visit of 2023

ESS SprintsMedia-2023

By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | With another two-day weekend in the books for the Empire Super Sprints 40^th anniversary tour, the series will now head back east to the Albany-Saratoga Speedway for the second of two visits in 2023 this coming Friday, July 21.

When the tour visited in June, it was Matt Tanner picking up the victory over Chad Miller and Shawn Donath. Fresh off his first win as a car owner last weekend with current NASCAR star Chase Briscoe at the helm, Tanner is looking to repeat his performance from earlier in the year and sweep the seasons visits to the Malta, NY oval.

With just 12 events left on the 2023 schedule, the battle for the year-end championship is starting to heat up. Defending champion Jordan Poirier has been in command of the standings since early June, but a rough night at Freedom this past Friday coupled with two solid runs on the weekend by second place Shawn Donath allowed Donath to close the gap slightly, as he is now only 26 points back.

The battle for third in the championship standings is also starting to heat up. Early season winner Jason Barney currently sits in the third position, though Dylan Swiernik is now just 40 points behind him in 4^th. After this past weekend, Jeff Cook has moved into the top 5, and is ready to pounce should a competitor ahead of him strike misfortune.

This weekend’s event at Albany Saratoga will see Herrington Farms, a 5^th generation dairy farm in Troy, NY, as the presenting sponsor of the Cobra Coaches Dash. Information regarding gate times, prices and the order of events can be found on both the Albany-Saratoga Facebook page and website along with on the Empire Super Sprints social media platforms.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, July 21 – Albany-Saratoga Speedway – Malta, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Friday, July 28 – Outlaw Speedway – Dundee, NY ($3,500 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals)

Friday, August 4 – Utica-Rome Speedway – Vernon, NY ($2,000 to Win)
