OHSWEKEN, ON – Two huge events are set to go at Ohsweken Speedway this week. NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will take on the best drivers from Ohsweken’s Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint Car division on Monday, July 30, while the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series contests the “Six Nations Showdown” on Tuesday, July 31. Ohsweken’s weekly Lighthouse Tattoos Thunder Stocks, HRW Automotive Mini Stocks, and Pierced Parts Bombers will join the Sprint Cars on Monday, and the Modified Lite Stars International Championship Tour will support the World of Outlaws on Tuesday.

TONY STEWART AT OHSWEKEN: Tony Stewart’s return to Ohsweken has been one of the most highly-anticipated events of the Ontario racing season. He made his Ohsweken debut last year, finishing 3rd after starting 15th in a caution-free Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint Car feature on July 26, 2011 . He decided to stay and race at Ohsweken the following night, and was rewarded with what he considers one of the highlights of his storied career – his first ever World of Outlaws Sprint Car series feature win.

Stewart’s illustrious racing career began on Indiana dirt tracks, and he has never forgotten his roots, despite unprecedented success in the highest echelons of racing. “Smoke” is the only driver with NASCAR, IndyCar, and USAC championships on his resume, and he was the first to win USAC’s “Triple Crown” – Silver Crown, Sprint Car, and Midget titles in the same season.

The Columbus, IN driver still competes regularly in dirt track events, despite his busy schedule not only as a NASCAR star, but team owner as well. His most recent dirt track start came on Saturday night at Eldora Speedway, where he took the lead with two laps to go and went on to win the Engine Pro NRA Invaders Sprint Car series feature. He also won another World of Outlaws feature on July 17 at Lernerville, Pennsylvania.

Stewart is also involved in dirt track racing in an ownership capacity, with involvement in several facilities including the famous Eldora Speedway, and owns several dirt track racing teams too, including those of Steve Kinser, and Donny Schatz.

CORR/PAK MERCHANDISING SPRINT CARS: Stewart will take on Ohsweken’s tough weekly Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint Car teams in an event that pays full points towards their season championship, and $3,000 to the feature winner.
