PIT BOX: The NASCAR Pinty’s Series Hits the Dirt for Two 100-Lap Races

The NASCAR Pinty’s Series will now take to the dirt oval of Ohsweken Speedway for two, highly anticipated events for rounds 10 and 11 of the 2023 season.

Last year, Treyten Lapcevich battled it out with NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver, Stewart Friesen, in a spectacular overtime finish, to claim his second win of the season.

Friesen, along with Ken Schrader will return to the series for the doubleheader, dirt event. Lapcevich and Marc-Antoine Camirand will look to continue their season dominance with another strong showing at Ohsweken.

All series races will stream live on TSN’s new subscription based, streaming platform, TSN+ and FloRacing in the United States. Tape-delay broadcasts will air on TSN and RDS2 in Canada.
