@OhswekenSpdway •(April 18, 2016) – Ohsweken, Ontario – Ohsweken Speedway officials are pleased to announce a new title sponsor for the 360 Sprint Car division, and increased championship points fund purses for all five of the track’s weekly racing divisions.
Located less than one kilometre from Ohsweken Speedway at 2228 Chiefswood Road, Kool Kidz Ice & Water has been a partner of the speedway and a number of race teams for several years. The support of Kool Kidz Ice & Water coupled with continued support from Corr/Pak Merchandising now enables the top 15 drivers in the final championship standings to share in a point fund exceeding $25,000.
The 2016 Kool Kidz Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car division champion will take home at least $5,000, while the 10th place payout will be at least $1,000, and 15th place will pay at least $500. Corr/Pak Merchandising will also be providing a new Sprint Car chassis to be given away at the year-end Awards Banquet. 360 Sprint Car drivers with perfect attendance at Ohsweken during the 2016 season will be entered into the chassis draw.
Drivers in other weekly racing divisions will also see large increases to their championship points funds; The Strickland’s GMC Crate Sprint Car division champion will now be awarded $1,500, while the Affordable Towing & Recovery Thunder Stock division points fund has increased to more than $5,000, and the HRW Automotive Mini Stock division points fund has more than doubled to over $2,000.
Champions in all five of the track’s weekly racing divisions will also again receive brand new firesuits from EPIC Racewear, while drivers and teams can stay tuned for further announcements regarding championship bonuses in the coming weeks.
