“Dig Safely has been an outstanding supporter of local racing for many years. As we set sail on this transformation of the facility, dig safely was there. Their timely response and attention to detail kept our project rolling smooth. They did a great job for us, they will do a great job for you, and we are very proud to have them as a marketing partner,” stated Weedsport Speedway General Manager Jim Phelps.
Weedsport Speedway’s inaugural race of the 2014 season was pushed back to July 27th from the original date of July 13th due to poor weather conditions. Nonetheless, fans will be sure to be blown away by the complete makeover of the speedway, concessions, pits and surrounding areas.
Phelps also stated, “We couldn’t be more excited about opening the gates on Sunday for the inaugural running of the Sportsman Classic. We are very proud of where we are at with the renovations to date, and cannot wait to welcome the Racing world in for what we know will be a amazing event for both the fans and the competitors.”
The grandstands will be open to all spectators at 5:00 p.m. with general admission at only $12.00 for everyone 18+. General admission for students (ages 10-17) will be only $5.00, and any child 9 and under will get in FREE. On top of that every fan in attendance will receive a free promotional item to commemorate the grand re-opening of the speedway.
