In little more than one week, history will be made at Ohsweken Speedway when the World of Outlaws arrive to complete in the inaugural “Six Nations Showdown” presented by “ARROW EXPRESS July 25th.Quickly becoming known as one of the smoothest and fastest 3/8 mile clay ovals in North America, the “Home of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals” has received a major facelift in preparation for the event which will see the powerful 410 cubic inch sprint cars from the world’s premier series compete for the first time on Ontario soil.
All of the top drivers are expected to be on hand including Steve Kinser, Joey Saldana, Danny Lasoski, Craig Dollansky, Terry McCarl, and the defending Champion and recent winner of Eldora’s “Kings Royal”, Donny Schatz.
Approximately 600 tickets remain for sale with presales continuing until Thursday evening this week by phone only at (519-542-2116). Credit card payment in full is required at the time of purchase and tickets will then be available at a “Will Call Area” at the track on race day only. Adult price is $40 with children 12 and under at $25. Adult tickets may be upgraded on race day for $5.00 to include a Pit Pass.
Any remaining tickets unsold will be available race day when the Spectator Gates swing open at 4:00PM along with approx One Hundred Thirty “obstructed view” seats located in the bottom rows in the turn four area. “When we installed the new stands in turn four we didn’t consider the height of the wall at the exit of the turn and it is difficult to see the track immediately in front of you” stated one of the principle owners, Glenn Styres.
“The rest of the track has good sight lines from these seats but we didn’t have enough time to fix the problem before this show so it was decided to offer these tickets for sale on race day only at a substantially reduced rate” he concluded. This block of tickets will be available at $20 per Adult and $5.00 for kids twelve and under however they will not be able to be upgraded for a Pit Pass like the regular priced seats.
NO TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE TRACK UNTIL RACE DAY. ALL SEATS ON THE SPECTATOR SIDE OF THE SPEEDWAY ARE RESERVED FOR THIS EVENT.

Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM with spectator gates opening at 4:00. An autograph session is scheduled to begin at 4:30. Mini Stocks will also be on the program in a support role.
