OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 29, 2018) – Ohsweken Speedway is in the home stretch of its 23rd season of Friday Night Excitement and returns to action on Friday, August 31 for Epic Racewear Back to School Backpack night. In partnership with Epic Racewear, Ohsweken Speedway race teams will be able to purchase a backpack for $25 and fill it with school supplies to distribute to kids in attendance.

On the track, the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars will run double features as they make-up their July 27 rainout before racing into the regularly scheduled event. The Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks will also make-up the 50-lap and $2,000-to-win Gale’s Auto Aftermarket Cash Blast postponed from last week before racing in their regularly scheduled event. The Strickland’s GMC Crate Sprint Cars and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks will also be in action for full points nights.

Race time is 7:30pm with grandstand gates opening at 6:00pm. Adult admission is just $14 while Seniors (65+) and Youths (13-17) are only $10. Kids aged 7-12 are only $3 and Kids 6 and under are free. This pricing is in effect for all weekly Friday Night Excitement shows in 2018.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars

Dylan Westbrook extended his point lead to an even 100 markers over Cory Turner with his eighth win of the season in Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car action last Friday night. With double features on the schedule this week, including the postponed July 27 event, both drivers will look to be on top of their game as Westbrook looks to solidify his second straight track title. In third is Fenwick’s Jim Huppunen just 10 points back of Turner. Mack DeMan currently sits fourth while Tyler Hendricks occupies fifth, but will be inactive this week after suffering an injury during an accident last Friday night. Ryan Turner, Steve Lyons, Mike Thorne, Mikey Kruchka and Chris Steele round out the top-10.

The double Features will follow a unique format in order to help ensure an efficient racing program. The lineup for the first Feature is already set from the July 27 event. For the second Feature, the top eight starting spots will be handicapped for the top eight in points that are in attendance on Friday night. Position 9 through 24 will be lined up based on a timed hot lap sessions.
