Ohsweken, Ontario - Ohsweken Speedway's 20th season of racing continues this Friday, August 14 when Grand River Powersports presents Art Hill Memorial Night. The event features the "Art Hill Memorial 42" for HRW Automotive Mini Stocks, plus Corr/Pak Merchandising 360 Sprint Cars, Strickland's GMC Crate Sprint Cars, Affordable Towing & Recovery Thunder Stocks, and the TUSA Canada Mod Lite series.

The annual "Art Hill Memorial 42" is the biggest, longest, and highest-paying event of the season for Ohsweken's Mini Stock racers, with a feature race more than twice the distance of their regular races, and a $1,000 winner's prize on the line. The race honours Art Hill, who suffered a fatal brain aneurysm while competing in his #42 machine at Ohsweken in 1999. Past Art Hill Memorial winners include well-known Ohsweken names such as Rick Emberson, Lee Winger, Robbie Rounce, Marc Hallett, Dave Bailey, Mitch Brown, Trevor Goulding, Abel Castelein, and Karl Sault. Mark Bazuin won the 2014 Art Hill Memorial 42, and will attempt to become the first back-to-back winner of the event since Mitch Brown accomplished the feat in 2008 and 2009.

The Gale's Auto Aftermarket Bomber division has this Friday night off, as the TUSA Canada Mod Lite series will make its only visit of the season. Paul Klager and Rob Misener were the winners of the two Mod Lite events at Ohsweken in 2014.

An average of 129 drivers have signed in each night of the 2015 season so far at Ohsweken, with the 5 weekly racing series divisions producing 31 different feature winners. Racing will take the green flag at 7:30pm this Friday, August 14. Visit the official Ohsweken Speedway website at www.OhswekenSpeedway.com for ticket prices and more information.
