Dylan Swiernik Wins Fourth ESS Race of 2025 at Drummond

Story By: CURTIS BERLEUE / EMPIRE SUPER SPRINTS – DRUMMONDVILLE, QC – In what could be considered a breakout year for Dylan Swiernik, he picked up his fourth win of the 2025 season on Saturday night at Autodrome Drummond. The Port Leyden, NY driver led early, and then re-took the lead on lap 24 after running the majority of the race in the runner-up position to earn a $3,000 pay day north of the border.

Leading the field to green by virtue of drawing the Pinnacle pole award was the #7C of Dylan Swiernik. Swiernik would take the lead early, with Dale Gosselin in second. By lap six, however, Friday nights winner Alex Therrien was able to get by Swiernik and take command of the field.

The lead duo would then run the next handful of laps in the same running order, with Therrien opening up over a one second advantage over Swiernik.

Behind them, fellow Quebec driver Jordan Poirier had made quite a bit of headway in the first few laps. After starting 11th, Poirier went to seventh on lap two, and took hold of a podium spot on lap three, making it all the way up to third.

As the laps wound down, Swiernik began to close the gap on Therrien. With just two laps remaining he was able to get by Therrien’s #21 machine to re-claim the lead. Swiernik would go on to lead the final laps, and pick up his fourth win of 2025.

Behind Swiernik, Alex Therrien finished second, while Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third. Danny Varin finished fourth, and Davie Franek completed the top five.

With 23 cars signed into the pits, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Davie Franek, Jordan Poirier and Dale Gosselin, while Elab Smokers Boutique heat race victories went to Dylan Swiernik, Jordan Poirier and Dale Gosselin.
