New Winner and New Jackpot Record at this Year’s Crash to Pass

Over 30 cars and drivers showed up, but only one last through to the end as usual, in this year’s Crash to Pass.

Kyle Syverston, in his #15 pickup, outlasted all the drivers at the Goldpan Speedway in Quesnel. Pushing his way into first place and making a dash to the end.

It was Syverston’s over tenth time racing in Crash to Pass, and his second ever win.

In second place was Jason Crain in his #77 Minions Truck. Crain also took home one of the Crowd Pleaser Awards handed out this year. Crain’s truck took many bumps and scrapes, and ultimately survived to become one of the final two vehicles while driving on only two wheels.

Brandon Langville was the final ‘podium’ finisher for this year, in third place. Langville had a very good run through the Qualifying, the heats, and the Main Event. He almost made it to the end until a scrap from Syverston shredded Langville’s #52 car’s tires and sent him spinning into a pile-up.

There were many crashes and dips throughout the afternoon of racing. Despite sparks flying from brake calipers and cars driving on rims, only one car caught on fire. There was also only one rollover this year.

Over 4500 people filled the hillside of the Goldpan Speedway this year. The Quesnel Volunteer Fire Department held its 50/50 draw. Initially worried they would run out of tickets to sell, the department reached a new jackpot record.

Ryan Suretski was named the lucky winner of the 50/50 draw, taking home the new total record of $17,000.
