CHARLESTOWN, N.H. – The Granite State Pro Stock Series will visit 11 tracks across five states during the upcoming season.
The series, in its ninth year of operation, will undertake its most ambitious schedule to date with one new venue joining the calendar.
The season will begin at the Claremont Motorsports Park in Claremont, N.H., as the third-mile oval has become the traditional opener for the series. The New Hampshire oval, now promoted by Granite State Pro Stock Series owner Mike Parks, will also host the annual Labor Day Spectacular on Sept. 6.
Star Speedway kicks off a busy May with the first of two visits. The traveling Pro Stocks will also be a part of the Friday night portion of the Star Classic in September.
Lee USA Speedway will be the only track with three dates on the schedule. The May Madness event will open the track’s season and will see the Pro Stocks go for 150 laps. The series will celebrate the fourth of July a day early at Lee and join them for the annual Oktoberfest extravaganza on Oct. 4.
Monadnock Speedway will have two dates on the calendar. The Granite State Pro Stocks will visit one of the original tracks to join the series in May. They will also visit the challenging quarter-mile bullring for a 150 lap event to kick off the month of August.
Riverside Speedway in Groveton, N.H., is back and under new management. The Humphreys have agreed to host the series on June 13. New London-Waterford Speedbowl is back after a year’s hiatus, with an event scheduled for June 20.
Hudson (N.H.) Int’l Speedway will hold one race next season. Ben Bosowski and his team continue to make improvements to the facility, which will host the series on July 12.
July 24 will be a high point for the season as series makes its first visit to Beech Ridge Speedway in Scarborough, Maine. On August 15 a second new facility will join the series as Adirondack Speedway in New Bremen, N.Y., will become the second track in the state of New York to host a series event. The half-mile oval will hold a 150-lap event for a minimum of $5,000 to win. In addition, there will be increased money paid out throughout the field to help competitors with the cost of the long tow. This race is still listed as tentative as negotiations continue.
In September the series will visit the Seekonk Speedway in Massachusetts. For the second year in a row the series will sanction the Pro Stock portion of the annual DAV Fall Classic. There will once again be an open practice day on Sept. 25 with racing happening on Sept. 26.
The series will crown its champion at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park with a 50 lap event in October. The race will be held during the annual World Series weekend, but final negotiations are ongoing as to which day.
