This Fridays show at Ohsweken Speedway will be the only full points show towards the PST- Canadian Tour. Show up points will be awarded to the drivers who participate in the $12,000 to win Canadian Sprint Car Nationals on September 16 & 17.

Jared Zimbardi has won the previous two full point events at the ‘Big O’ but will have a stout field to compete against like the weekly regulars of Brown, Turner, and Dain Naida.
The series will then re-enter the United States and head to the Woodhull Raceway for an event that was originally scheduled from May 14. This will be the first of two full point events the Steuben County Facility will host for the Patriot Sprint Tour- American Series.
Justin Barger won the most recent event dating back from July 25, 2015. Bryan Howland won the other event earlier that year back in May. Other notable winners who have won at “New York States Toughest Bull Ring” is Chuck Hebing, Dan Shetler, and Bobby Breen.
