OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES MAJOR DATES FOR 2009

Reserved Seating Renewals Available During November

Ohsweken Speedway is please to announce the gates will once again
swing open to greet race fans on May 15th for “Friday Night Thunder”. 360

Several major events appear on the 2009 schedule which is being
prepared for release in its entirety early in the New Year.
Among them will be the return visit of the World of Outlaws Late Models on
June 18th for a 50 lap, $10,000 to win program.

Tuesday and Wednesday, July 28th and 29th for a pair of complete programs

Car Nationals” to be contested on the weekend on September 18th and 19th.

the same seats for 2009. PLEASE CALL (1-888) 720-7223 or email Cheryl at
