OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 28, 2022) – The 25th season of Friday Night Excitement at Ohsweken Speedway continues this Friday, July 29 when Club 54 Racing presents the NLMA Late Model tour, plus Vintage Cars, Kool Kidz/Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, and Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks.
The Northeast Late Model Alliance (NLMA) tour will make its first appearance at Ohsweken on Friday, followed by a Saturday night event at Humberstone Speedway. A familiar name to Ohsweken fans is at the top of the tour’s points standings heading into the weekend; former Ohsweken Sportsman Modified and Sprint Car driver Rob Ledingham took the opening NLMA round on July 3 at Humberstone, while Austin King, Jeff Dayman, Kyle Sopaz, and Adam Turner currently hold top five spots. More information is available at www.nlmaracing.com
Mark Shadwell took the most recent Vintage Car win at Ohsweken in 2019, and the group is eager to get back on the fast 3/8 mile for the first time in three years.
A shakeup could be in store in the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car standings on Friday, as current points leader Ryan Turner announced earlier this week that he is stepping away from the Burger Barn team. Cory Turner took the win last Friday and has the second spot in the standings, followed by a trio of young Crate Sprint Car graduates – Josh Hansen, Liam Martin, and Nick Sheridan.
Dave Bailey remains the leader in the Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stock standings, but Ryan Beagle did gain slightly with a win last Friday. Chris Gale, Trevor DeBoer, and Kyle Wert are enjoying consistent seasons and hold the remaining top five spots.
Race time is 7:30PM on Friday, July 29. Adult grandstand admission is $20, while Senior (65+) and Youth (13-17) admission is $15, and Kids (0-12) are FREE. Please visit www.ohswekenspeedway.ca for more information.
