“Dave MacLEOD MEMORIAL – Mr. SPRINT CAR CHALLENGE” to be Contested at
OHSWEKEN September 14th
Long time open wheel competitor, Dave MacLeod from Kenmore, New York left us
earlier this year and is truly missed in the local sprint car world. To
honour his memory, Ohsweken Speedway is pleased to announce that the
inaugural “Dave MacLeod Memorial - Mr. Sprint Car Challenge” will be held on
Friday night, September 14th immediately following intermission as part of
the prestigious “ARROW EXPRESS – CANADIAN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS” weekend.
The format will be two on two, elimination style “bracket” racing pitting
the top three in points from each of the five affiliate sanctioning bodies
that are in attendance along with a “wild Card” entry selected from the non
affiliated cars. Sixteen teams in all will compete in this event. Much like
drag racing, the cars will be divided into two sides with eight cars on each
side. Two lap elimination races will then be held with the winners advancing
to the next round. Three rounds of competition will bring it all down to the
final pair who will run three laps for the $1,000 top prize.
Brackets will be set by random draw earlier in the day and promises to be
exciting for all.
With the pre entry list near seventy, the best sprint car teams and drivers
in the north-east region of the United States and Canada are expected to be
on hand. Plenty of tickets remain on sale daily until September 12 by
calling (519) 542-2116. Tickets will also be available on both race days
beginning at 3:00 PM Friday, September 14 and 1:00 PM on Saturday, September
15.
