Empire Super Sprints Heads To Quebec For Pair Of $3K-To-Win Events At Granby & Drummond

Story By: CURTIS BERLEUE / EMPIRE SUPER SPRINTS – GRANBY, QUE – Each year, the Empire Super Sprints make an annual pilgrimage far north to the province of Quebec. 2024 is no different, as this weekend the stars of the Empire Super Sprints will invade Autodrome Granby on Friday August 23 and Autodrome Drummond on Saturday August 24.

Last season, Jeff Cook sat in victory lane at Autodrome Granby, marking what is likely his final ESS victory. At Autodrome Drummond last season, Matt Tanner was victorious when he picked up his second win of the season.

Headed into this weekends Quebec swing, there are nine points-paying events left on the Empire Super Sprints schedule. Two time and defending champion Jordan Poirier is once again atop the standings. While Poirier has yet to sit in victory lane in 2024, he has been a model of consistency having not finished outside of the top 10 in any event so far this season.

Second in points is New Jersey’s Davie Franek, just 17 points back from Poirier. Franek has three victories on the season thus far (Freedom, Fulton and Brockville), and will look to close the gap even further this weekend.

Third in points is Jason Barney, 91 points back from Franek, Matt Tanner sits fourth in points and Billy VanInwegen rounds out the top five.

For this weekend’s events at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond, be sure to check both the tracks and ESS social media pages for information regarding gate times and prices, along with a nightly order of events.
