OSWEGO, N.Y. — The 52nd running of Super DIRT Week will set the stage for another historic spectacle with a schedule built to provide the best week possible for drivers and fans at Oswego Speedway.
On track action has been moved a day earlier, putting all feature racing for the Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modified, DIRTcar Sportsman and DIRTcar Pro Stocks under the lights – including the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 now running Saturday night. Sunday (Oct. 13) will now be a rain date.
The new schedule also maintains all the fan-favorite events that help make Super DIRT Week “Racing’s Biggest Party” in Oswego.
Schedule Highlights:
Sunday (Oct. 6):Â The annual tradition of early load in for eager campers continues on Sunday, before Super DIRT Week officially commences. Will Call and staging campers down Albany Street will begin at 9 a.m.
Then, Lighthouse Lanes (in front of Oswego Speedway) will welcome fans, drivers and officials for a Kick Off Party with food, drinks and bowling from 6-10 p.m.
Monday (Oct. 7): For the third year in a row, Super DIRT Week will host a Charity Golf Tournament at the Radisson Green Golf Course in Baldwinsville, N.Y. (at 11 a.m.). This year, $30,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society and $30,000 was raised for the Race to Stop Suicide.
After the successful debut of the quarter midget and microd mania this year – featuring the future stars of racing – the event returns Monday night in the infield of Oswego Speedway. Feature action for all quarter midget and microd divisions will begin at 6 p.m. It’ll be free for all spectators.
