OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 19, 2026) – Insta-Insulation and Styres Gas Bar presented the Art Hill Memorial 42 for the Mini Stock division on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway. Dylan Westbrook, Austin Roes, Dave Bailey and Jeff Elsiger took A-Main victories.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprints
Ryan Turner started on pole with Darren Dryden next to him for the 25 lap 360 Sprints A-Main. Ryan Turner led the opening lap before Alex Hill brought out the caution flag after a collision with the inner wall of turn four. Eric Gledhill got the lead briefly on the restart until Dylan Westbrook snuck by him for the lead, just as Jacob Dykstra spun and brought out another caution flag.
Westbrook resumed his fast pace when racing resumed and quickly began putting drivers a lap down. Not even a final race restart could stop Westbrook’s march as he went on to win another race and extend his championship points lead. Finishing out the top five were Eric Gledhill in second, D.J. Christie third, Josh Hansen fourth, and Skyler Evans fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Austin Roes and Cory Whittam brought the 28 car field to the green flag for the Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Roes was shot of out of a cannon as he confidently led the opening laps. Two quick caution flags came out in succession, which saw Roes stand tall to the challenge and defend his lead successfully.
Broden Weiler suffered a spin with five laps left to go, setting up a dash to the finish. Once again Roes held off the field, going on to win the race and lead every lap. Next to finish were Steve Murdock in second, Jesse Costa third, Mack DeMan fourth, and Liam Martin fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Dylan Peckham and Keith Dale to begin the 20 Lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Dale had a great start, leading the first lap until a caution flag came out. George Grosul capitalized on the restart and took the lead. Pole sitter Peckham brought out the caution flag with five laps complete when he lost a wheel.
The restart saw Kyle Wert claim the lead for himself, however Dave Bailey kept him honest as he was hot on his heels. Bailey made the winning pass with ten laps left to go. Ryan Beagle could see Wert begin to struggle and applied huge pressure for the second position. Wert put on a valiant effort and defended well against Beagle while Bailey went on to win the race. Wert and Beagle claimed the final podium spots respectively, while Ron Loggie finished in fourth and Trevor DeBoer claimed fifth.
Insta-Insulation Mini Stocks
Tim DeBoer started on pole alongside Brendan Lefrancois to take the green flag for the 42 Lap Art Hill Memorial Mini Stock A-Main. Craig Cole quickly took the lead, building a two second lead over the field by lap five. Cole was the dominant force early in this Ohsweken crown jewel race, as he led the first 22 laps until Ken Hair made a pass for the lead.
Cole raced himself back to the lead on lap 28, just as the final caution flag came out due to John Lubeck coming to a stop in turn two with a flat tire. Cole had a successful restart, however Jeff Elsliger chased down Cole for the lead, passing him for the win in the closing laps. Cole had to settle for a second place finish after an amazing performance, and DeBoer claimed the final podium step. Rounding out the top five were Jeremy Cooper in fourth and Wayde Thorne fifth.
