Thorold, Ontario – For more than 60 years, Hingston Metal Fabricators has grown to be an interntationally recognized leader in innovative solutions in custom metal fabricating and manufacturing opportunities while keeping the family spirit in all aspects of the St. Catharines business.

An action-packed Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series event at Merrittville Speedway will help Minor Sport Teams celebrate their Team Spirit Saturday July 25th with anyone 18 years of age and younger FREE in their team sweaters in the Grandstand.

"Our Minor Sport Night every year is a great deal," relates (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, "for the kids ... it's great for summer teams to get together away from the field before the season ends or for those waiting to get back on the ice – it's a great chance to bring a team together."

Hingston Metal Fabricators is celebrating over 60 years as a family-owned Custom Metal Fabricating Facility with over 20 skilled trades staff.

Experienced in industrial/commercial steel fabricating, industrial air handling equipment and boiler components, stainless steel counter tops and catering equipment, a full range of aluminum fabrication and welding as well as metal and non-metallic flexible connections.

Hingston Metal Fabricators are the Canadian distributor for Korema Expansion Joints and are the sole manufacturer of PigOut Roasters.

Hingston Metal Fabricators specialize in flame cutting, custom punching, shearing, expansion joints (metal and fabric) sand blasting, press braking and aluminum and stainless steel welding.

"We have seen some incredible racing through all 5 divisions this season," relates Bicknell-Jones, "as we begin the stretch run to close out 2015 ... it can only get better."

Coming off Round 2 of the Triple Crown Series for the Van Raine Construction 4 Cylinder Division – the final stretch of the overall points race is shaping up to be one to watch.

Caledon Driver Kyle Haynes is just 2 points off current leader Rob Goulding with Kyle Rothwell surely looking to rebound from this past Saturday's disappointing finish 20 points off the pace.

Former Pinty's Delicious Foods Point Leader Chad Brachmann of Sanborn NY will be looking to regroup after an early incident ended his night this past weekend early and make up some of Pete Bicknell's 17 point advantage.

The race to round out the top 10 and the one for an 11th different winner will also provide some excitement as drivers from 3rd to 6th in points are separated by just 18 points – with Mike Bowman, Mat Williamson, Billy Dunn and Mark D'Ilario holding on to those positions.

Scott Wood and Tim Jones are also within striking distance of the Top 5.

In the Rev's Full Throttle Powersports Modified Lite Division ... Team JSR has been strong all season. Multi-time Champion Josh Sliter currently holds a 26 point lead over team-mates Rob Misener and Jamie Gilbert.

Although there is plenty of racing left in the 2015 Season, both Gary Lindberg and Mark Fawcett have commanding leads in the Rick's Delivery Sportsman and Hoosier Stock Divisions.

Second generation driver Lindberg holds a 56 point lead on Chad Chevalier in his attempt at his first Merrittville Championship while defending Champion Fawcett leads Hagersville's Dave Bailey by 64 points.

The Great Clips Grandstand Ticket Office opens at 5:30 and it's going to be great with all Minor Sport Team Players in their Sweaters admitted FREE. Showtime is at 7:00 PM.
