OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 14, 2018) – Ohsweken Speedway officials are pleased announce this week’s recipient of the Gale’s Auto Aftermarket Performer of the Week award is Logan Shwedyk and the No. 53 Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stock team. The weekly award showcases a driver or team that exhibits outstanding effort and performance during the Friday Night Excitement events at Ohsweken Speedway.

Friday, June 8th was Rochester Knighthawks night at Ohsweken Speedway. Shwedyk in his No. 53 Camaro began the 20-Lap Feature in the eighth starting position. A first lap melee saw previous winners Ryan Dinning and Dave Bailey taken out of contention and opened the door for Aaron Rewutzsky to take the lead. But behind him, Shwedyk drove the No.53 hard and took over that lead at lap five. Threading his way through lapped traffic at lap 11 with Ryan Beagle giving chase, Shwedyk had opened a two-second lead. Shwedyk’s Camaro started to show smoke on lap 16 but he kept his foot on the gas and raced the No.53 to his first ever victory over Beagle, Bill Bleich Jr., Trevor DeBoer and Jim Lampman.

Congratulations to Logan Shwedyk and the No. 53 Middleport Mechanical Thunderstock on an impressive first career win!
