8TH ANNUAL CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS THIS WEEKEND AT OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY

By Tommy Goudge (September 13, 2012) – The long wait is over, and it’s
time for Ohsweken Speedway’s signature event – the Canadian Sprint Car
Nationals presented by Arrow Express. The big weekend officially begins
on Friday, September 14, and finishes Saturday night, September 15 with
the $12,000-to-win feature event, along with a practice session on
Thursday night, September 13.

NIGHT BEFORE THE NATIONALS
The Night Before the Nationals at Ohsweken has a busy slate, including
twin fifteen lap features for the Sprint Cars, plus the Ohsweken
Shootout, and Dave MacLeod Memorial Mr. Sprint Car Challenge.

The winner of each fifteen lap feature will receive a guaranteed
starting spot in Saturday night’s Canadian Sprint Car Nationals feature
race, as Shane Stewart and Dustin Daggett did last year.

The Ohsweken Shootout will feature twelve drivers in a ten lap dash for
cash on Friday night. Top drivers from selected ASCS Sprints on Dirt,
Patriot Sprint Tour, Empire Super Sprints, Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint
Car division, Southern Ontario Sprints, and National Racing Alliance
events will make up the Shootout field.

The Dave MacLeod Memorial Mr. Sprint Car Challenge is back again this
year with one-on-one match races for the top drivers in points from each
affiliate sanction, plus some “Wild Card” entries.

A good field of Vintage Cars is also expected to be on hand to compete
as the support division on Friday night.

CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS
Saturday features the eighth annual Canadian Sprint Car Nationals
presented by Arrow Express, with well over seventy of the best Sprint
Car drivers from all over North America expected in competition,
including former winners Shane Stewart of Brownsburg, Indiana, and Steve
Poirier of Saint-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, Quebec.

The successful affiliate sanctioning program is again in place this
year, with teams slated to participate from Ohsweken’s weekly Corr/Pak
Merchandising Sprint Car division, the Empire Super Sprints and Patriot
Sprint Tour based in New York, Michigan-based ASCS Sprints on Dirt, the
National Racing Alliance from Ohio, and the Southern Ontario Sprints club.

This year’s edition of the Nationals again features a purse increase,
with the winner now set to take home twelve thousand dollars, and every
feature starter guaranteed at least eight hundred fifty dollars. The
feature race length remains at thirty-five laps, and the starting field
at thirty cars.

Time trials will be utilized, with the same format as last year; The
field will be split into six groups, which will run time trials and heat
races together. The fastest driver from each group will draw to
determine the inversion for the start of his or her heat race. The
fastest driver overall in time trials will receive the Lane Automotive
Fast Time award, while the fastest Canadian driver will receive the
Bicknell Racing Products Fastest Canadian award.

The top three finishers in each heat race will qualify for the feature,
and each heat race winner will participate in an “Outlaw style” redraw
for feature starting positions. Three B-Mains and the Non-Qualifiers
Little Feature will fill out the remainder of the Canadian Sprint Car
Nationals feature field.

The Mod-Lite Stars International Championship Tour will also make its
final appearance at Ohsweken for 2012 on Saturday night. Derek Wagner
has dominated the other Ohsweken visits by the tour this year, while
Paul Klager has also picked up a win this year.

Plenty of un-serviced camping space is once again available at the
speedway all weekend for a nominal one-time fee of twenty dollars. The
pit area washrooms and concession stand will also be open twenty-four
hours a day during the Nationals, and the concession will feature
breakfast and lunch menus.
