WATERBURY, Vt. and NAPLES, Maine – The American-Canadian Tour and Pro All Stars Series have finalized next year’s oval-track schedule for Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.
The sanctioning bodies will again put on six events for the 83rd season of racing at the historic five-eighths-mile paved oval.
The season begins with the annual Icebreaker Friday, April 1, with an open practice day for event competitors.
The first day of Icebreaker competition is Saturday, April 2, headlined by a 75-lap National Championship feature for the PASS Super Late Models.
The Outlaw Open Modified Series returns Sunday, April 3, for the $10,000-to-win Icebreaker 125.
All five of Thompson Speedway’s local divisions — the Sunoco Modifieds, Late Models, Limited Sportsmen, SK Light Modifieds, and Mini Stocks — are also part of the Icebreaker.
Additional divisions and the full schedule of events for each day will be announced at a later date.
The local divisions will also be part of each Wednesday night Summer Series event.
The summer racing series begins Wednesday, June 15 at 6:00 p.m. with the Nutmeg State 75 for the Outlaw Open Modified Series, which will pay a minimum of $5,000-to-win.
The same lineup is on tap for the Midsummer 75 on Wednesday, July 13.
As previously announced, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns to Thompson Speedway on Wednesday, August 17 at 6:00 p.m. for the Thompson 150.
It’s the first NASCAR Modified visit to Thompson since the 2020 World Series. The Outlaw Open Modifieds will be off that night.
The division returns with the Tripoint Showdown 75 on Wednesday, September 14 to wrap up the Summer Series.
The season concludes with the 60th Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing from Friday, Oct. 7 to Sunday, Oct. 9.
A 75-lap showdown for the Modified Racing Series and round one of the Sunoco Modified Triple Crown Series headline the Friday card.
Saturday features the World Series 150 for the Whelen Modified Tour, twin 75-lap features for the ACT Late Model Tour and PASS Super Late Models and the second round of the Sunoco Modified Triple Crown.
Sunday, Oct. 9 is the $20,000-to-win Sunoco Thompson 300 for the Outlaw Open Modifieds along with the Sunoco Modified Triple Crown finale.
Drivers and teams who attempt to qualify for all Outlaw Open Modified Series events will be eligible for potential provisional starting positions at the Thompson 300.
The rest of the local divisions are crowning their 2022 champions throughout the World Series weekend.
Other World Series divisions and touring series will be added during the season.
