AUTOGRAPH NIGHT THIS WEEK AT OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY
By Tommy Goudge (July 5, 2012) – Another evening of fun and
entertainment is on tap this Friday at Ohsweken Speedway, with the
Rochester Knighthawks Lacrosse Club presenting Sunshine Foundation and
Autograph Night on July 6. The Corr/Pak Merchandising Sprint Cars,
Lighthouse Tattoos Thunder Stocks, HRW Automotive Mini Stocks, and
Pierced Parts Bombers will all be part of Friday Night Thunder this
week, along with the return of the Modified Lite Stars International
Championship Tour.
CORR/PAK MERCHANDISING SPRINT CARS
Ohsweken's own Glenn Styres claimed his second win of the season last
Friday, as the Sprint Car division got back to regular season action.
Styres is the current Corr/Pak points leader, and holds a 25 point
cushion over Fenwick driver Tom Huppunen. Fenwick's Chris Steele,
Tecumseh, Michigan driver Dain Naida, and Jamie Collard of Burford
currently hold top 5 positions.
MODIFIED LITE STARS INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR
Middleport, New York driver Derek Wagner won the Mod-Lite feature last
Friday night, and will look for two in a row this week. Beamsville's
Paul Klager, Port Colborne driver Shawn Sliter, Jeff May of Mount Hope,
Bolton's Jason Corless, and St. Catharines driver Korey Howe are among
the other drivers expected this Friday night. This week's Mod-Lite event
will be the third of six scheduled events for the tour at Ohsweken in 2012.
LIGHTHOUSE TATTOOS THUNDER STOCKS
Cambridge driver Wyatt Van Wart leads the Thunder Stock standings
heading into this Friday's event, but he has seen his lead shrink over
the past two weeks. Brad Herron of Waterford won for a second
consecutive week last Friday, and is now just three points behind Van
Wart in the standings. Cory Turner of Caistor Centre moved to third in
the standings with a runner-up finish last Friday, and is just 11 points
behind Van Wart, while Port Robinson driver Devin Habiuk, and
Caledonia's Mike Thorne round out the top five.
HRW AUTOMOTIVE MINI STOCKS
Mike Evers enjoyed plenty of early-season success in the Mini Stock
division, with two feature wins already, but he hit a snag when he was
caught up in a crash last Friday. The veteran driver from Caledonia
still holds a comfortable lead over Hamilton's Brittani Myers, who is
second in the standings, followed by the team of Burlington drivers Mark
Czuba and Mike Taylor, Steve Hess of Ohsweken, and Burlington's Jeremy
Hughes.
PIERCED PARTS BOMBERS
Caledonia's Jesse McDonald won for the first time this season last
Friday, and now sits atop the Pierced Parts Bombers standings as a
result. Max Chechalk of Hamilton is now in second place, followed by
Carlisle driver Davey Boughton is third, Dusty DeBoer of Hagersville,
and Hamilton's Jeremy May.
