Caistor Centre, Ontario - Team Turner Racing finally got to race at all three of their weekly tracks last weekend, with Jamie and Cory racing at Ohsweken Speedway, and Ryan Turner back at Merrittville Speedway and Humberstone Speedway.
FRIDAY, MAY 23
Wet grounds and cold temperatures forced the cancellation of several test and tune sessions and the season opener at Ohsweken Speedway near Brantford, Ontario, so Jamie, Cory, and all the other 360 Sprint Car drivers were excited to finally get the 2014 season started last Friday with 24 cars signed in.
Wet grounds and cold temperatures forced the cancellation of several test and tune sessions and the season opener at Ohsweken Speedway near Brantford, Ontario, so Jamie, Cory, and all the other 360 Sprint Car drivers were excited to finally get the 2014 season started last Friday with 24 cars signed in.
Jamie started 7th and finished 4th in his heat race with his #11 Rider-powered GF1 chassis, accumulating enough passing points to be in the redraw for feature starting positions.
Cory's heat race was his first taste of Sprint Car competition at Ohsweken, and he started and finished 8th with his #19 Jericho-powered GF1 chassis, which meant a trip to the B-Main. Cory again started and finished in the same position in the B-Main - 6th this time - just one spot out of transferring to the feature.
Both Jamie and Cory were able to start the feature though, as Zach Zumpe scratched with mechanical problems. Jamie started 8th in the feature, but fell back as far as 16th before starting to claw his way forward again. He used the high groove to get back to 9th by the time the race ended, while Cory stayed on the lead lap and finished his first Ohsweken Sprint Car feature in 17th.
SATURDAY, MAY 24
Team Turner's focus switched to Merrittville Speedway near St. Catharines, Ontario and the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified division on Saturday night, with Ryan Turner back behind the wheel of his #91 Bicknell chassis. Another competitive field was on hand, with 27 drivers signed in.

Ryan started on the pole for his heat race and finished 2nd, which allowed him to start on the pole for the feature as well. He fell back once the feature started due to an ill-handling car, and eventually finished 11th. The team found a bent right rear shock on his car the next day. Ryan is currently 16th in the Merrittville championship standings.
SUNDAY, MAY 25
20 DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds signed in for competition at Humberstone Speedway near Port Colborne, Ontario on Sunday. Ryan started 6th in his heat race and advanced to 3rd to secure a redraw spot for the feature.
