High Profile Events Highlight New Season For Northeast Series

WEEDSPORT, N.Y. — A new season awaits the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series, DIRTcar Sportsman Series and DIRTcar Pro Stock Series as they prepare to battle across the Northeast.

From April to October, the best drivers in the region will showcase their talents at several events, including Super DIRT Week 52 at Oswego Speedway, Oct. 7-12, and The Dirt Track at Charlotte for the World Short Track Championship, Oct. 31-Nov. 2 — a non-points event.

“The drivers we have in our nucleus are getting stronger every year,” said Dean Reynolds, DIRTcar Northeast Series Director. “We had several awesome events in 2023 and hope to keep that momentum rolling in 2024 with some new venues and different events.”

358 Modified Series

 Each event on the 2024 DIRTcar 358 Modified Series schedule is one you won’t want to miss, kicking off on April 12, during Thunder on the Thousand Islands weekend at Can-Am Speedway.

Then, the Series heads to Fulton Speedway on Saturday, April 27, for the High Bank Holdup before heading to the Capital Region in June, stopping at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for the Mohawk Valley Showdown on June 7.

One month later, the series returns to Can-Am for its 50th anniversary special before heading to Weedsport Speedway on July 7.

Malta Massive Weekend at Albany-Saratoga Speedway will be the lone September stop on Friday, Sept. 20, where all four DIRTcar Northeast Series will compete.

Then, the Series stops at Brewerton Speedway on Oct. 9, during Super DIRT Week 52 for the Hurricane Harvey 75, before heading to Oswego Speedway for the series’ richest race, paying $ 20,000 to win on Oct. 11.

A champion will be crowned on Oct. 19, when $10,000 is on the line during Brockville Ontario Speedway’s Fall Nationals.
