OSWEGO, N.Y. — After extensive consultation between Super DIRT Week officials and Precision Weather Service, all four Super DIRT Week 51 features have been shifted to Saturday, Oct. 7.
“We are making every effort to complete all of the scheduled events during Super DIRT Week, and we will remain flexible to achieve that goal during the ever-changing weather conditions,” said Event Director Jeff Hachmann. “We are as determined as the fans and racers to show Mother Nature what we’re all about when we work together.”
Gates will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, with a flex schedule in place. The DIRTcar Pro Stock 50, Billy Whittaker Cars 200, DIRTcar Sportsman Chevrolet Performance 75 and DIRTcar 358 Modified Salute to the Troops 150 Features will run back-to-back.
Sunday-only tickets will be honored for Saturday’s event.
The top six starters for each feature were locked in Thursday night, with polesitters being Jimmy Phelps (Billy Whittaker Cars 200), Mat Williamson (Salute to the Troops 150), Nicholas Root (Chevrolet Performance 75) and Jay Casey (DIRTcar Pro Stock 50).
Below is the latest update, as of Friday at 3:42 p.m. (ET).
Rain on Friday — combined with unfavorable track conditions — has led to Super DIRT Week officials pushing selected Friday on-track activities to Saturday, Oct. 7.
All four Super DIRT Week Feature events remain on Saturday, but now with the addition of Last Chance Showdowns for the Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modifieds and DIRTcar Sportsman.
The top 30 qualifiers for the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds and Top-26 DIRTcar Sportsman are now locked into their main events — there will be no qualifying heats for either division. The remaining starting spots will be determined by the Last Chance Showdowns.
Top-three finishers in two Super DIRTcar Series and two DIRTcar 358 Modified Last Chance Showdowns will transfer to their features. The top-two from the three DIRTcar Sportsman Last Chance Showdowns will transfer.
All Last Chance Showdowns will be 10 laps.
