OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 6, 2019) – This week’s recipient selected for the Gale’s Auto Aftermarket Performer of the Week Award is Trevor DeBoer and the No.23 Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stock Car team. The weekly award showcases a driver or team that exhibits outstanding effort and performance during Friday Night Excitement at Ohsweken Speedway.

Friday Night Excitement on May 31 was presented by Victory Gamez where the Feature portion of the night aired live on MavTV Canada as part of the new show All North Racing powered by Pinty’s.

An inverted starting order, that had been determined by the top eight of each of the two qualifying heats saw DeBoer in the No.23 Thunder Stock start in the 13th position behind a field of competitive cars for the 20-lap feature. DeBoer used the high side to gain position and was in the top-five by lap seven. At lap 10, DeBoer passed Chris Hale for third and set his sights on Jim Lampman and Dave Bailey. A late caution on lap 17 set up a double file restart with Bailey and DeBoer in the front row. A caution just one lap later had the drivers restart single file with DeBoer in the lead. An exciting side by side race to the finish line saw DeBoer edge out Bailey for the Mister Transmission Victory Lane checked flag. Bailey, Ken Sargent, Logan Shwedyk and Rob Hoskins rounded out the top-five. Congratulations to Trevor DeBoer and the No.23 team for a great race!

DeBoer will be back in action as Ohsweken Speedway returns to action on Friday, June 7 for Rochester Knighthawks Minor Sports Night. All four of Ohsweken’s weekly divisions will be in action, including the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Strickland’s GMC Crate Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks.
