By Tommy Goudge (August 4, 2011) – A very special event takes to the track at Ohsweken Speedway this Friday when HRW Automotive presents the “Art Hill Memorial 42” for the HRW Automotive Mini Stock division. The Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint Cars, Lighthouse Tattoos Thunder Stocks, and Pierced Parts Bombers will also be in action, and the 3rd annual Ohsweken Speedway Hot Dog Eating Contest will take centre stage during intermission.
CORR/PAK MERCHANDISING SPRINT CARS: Fenwick driver Jim Huppunen's excellent season continued last week as he scored a pair of top 10 finishes in Tuesday and Friday action. He leads the Sprint Car standings by 65 points over "Tilbury Tornado" Kyle Patrick heading into this week's event. Jamie Collard of Burford scored another runner-up finish on Friday and is currently 3rd in the standings, followed by Dain Naida of Tecumseh, Michigan, and Brantford's Mitch Brown who is tied with Ohsweken driver Glenn Styres for 5th.
Friday marks the last event before the "mulligan" rule comes into effect, as each driver's worst finish will be thrown out, which should shake up the standings with just over a month left in the season.
LIGHTHOUSE TATTOOS THUNDER STOCKS: Burford driver Phil Nyssen scored his first career Thunder Stock feature win on Friday, but Caledonia's Mike Thorne continues to lead the championship chase. Another Caledonia driver is in 2nd in the form of Ryan Dinning, while Port Robinson's Devin Habiuk, Brantford driver Chris Dickie, and leading rookie Cory Turner of Caistor Centre round out the top 5.
HRW AUTOMOTIVE MINI STOCKS: Dundas driver Karl Sault is still the leader of the Mini Stock division heading into Friday's special 42 lap race which honours Art Hill, the only driver ever to lose their life at Ohsweken. Sault leads Brantford's Jake Brown by 60 points, while Caledonia's Mike Evers is 3rd and fresh off his 2nd win of the season. Cayuga driver Abel Castelein and Caistor Centre's Dan Erskine also hold top 5 spots.
PIERCED PARTS BOMBERS: Waterdown's Rodney Rutherford has seen his points lead shrink to just 34 over Caledonia driver Jesse McDonald, who has won the last 3 Bomber features. Hamilton driver Jeremy May is 3rd, followed by Waterdown driver Trevor Roszell, and Dunnville's Tylor Brock.
HOT DOG HERO: Do you think you've got what it takes to become Ohsweken's next Hot Dog Eating champ? The 3rd annual Ohsweken Speedway Hot Dog Eating Contest will take place this Friday during intermission. Contestants must be 18 years of age or older.
