With the pressures of travel, behind-the-scenes car preparation and race-day performance, weekly racing can start to feel like a full-time job.
From his early days of following his father’s career, to his own accomplishments and now as a mentor and supporter of his son’s development in the go kart racing ranks of the sport, Adam Turner has been a fixture on the local racing scene for most of his life.
The 43-year-old from Picton is looking forward to getting his new season of action underway.
While some racers are thinking of scaling back their plans, Turner has a passion for the sport that has seen him pick up rides in other divisions in addition to his own No. 92 Crate Sprint Car program.
In many ways, Adam Turner’s quest for chasing racing is a throwback to earlier days of being at the track.
“I really can’t think of anything that I haven’t raced sometime or somewhere over the years,” admitted the multi-generational Prince Edward County speedster. “From street stocks to late models, sportsman and small-block modifieds, I’ve raced and won in a 4-cylinder, street stock, vintage mod, sportsman-modified, late model and crate sprint car. It isn’t about making money. I’m having a lot of fun and I’ve met some great people over the years.”
With the new schedules getting ready to launch soon, Adam Turner Racing will run weekly on Friday nights at Can Am Speedway and Saturdays at Brockville, where he finished fifth in points and had a couple of wins during the 2025 schedule.
The team will also follow the next generation of the Action Sprint Tour and a few other events as his work and family commitments will allow.
