Thorold, Ontario – For Hoosier Racing Tire – the tradition lives on with Hoosier Tire Canada continuing it’s support of Merrittville Speedway’s Hoosier Stock Division for the 14th consecutive season in 2015.

Hoosier Stock teams week in and week out provide Saturday Night Race Fans with some of the most exciting side by side action of all of all of the Thorold Dirt Track’s Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series Divisions.

“With our recent rules agreements between Ohsweken and Humberstone Speedways and ourselves – the future looks bright,” anticipates (Merrittville Speedway GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, “we are extremely confident that car counts will quickly return to strong fields … Hoosier Tire Canada’s continued support is sure to help!”

In 2015, Hoosier Stock Division Qualifying Heat Winners that are Merrittville Speedway Members will receive $20.00 Vouchers redeemable towards the purchase of Hoosier Tires providing that Hoosier Tires are on all four corners.

When the 64th season is complete, the Hoosier Stock Top 10 in the Point Standings will share in a base point fund with the breakdown as follows: 1) $600.00, 2) $425.00, 3) $350.00, 5) $300.00, 6. $275.00, 7) $250.00, 8) $225.00, 9) $200.00, 10) $150.00.
