Weedsport’s 2023 season opener will feature the first 410 Sprint Car and Modified double header of the season, as Tony Stewart’s Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions makes its return to The Port on Sunday, May 21 for the All Star Showcase. The winged sprints will be paired with a 50-lap, $4,000 to win main event for the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds.
The annual Super DIRTcar Series Heroes Remembered 100 will keep Weedsport in action just one week later on Sunday, May 28. The stars of the Super DIRTcar Series will circle Weedsport for 100-laps, in search of a $7,500 pay day. The Big Blocks will be joined on May 28 by the DIRTcar Sportsman as well as the CRSA Sprint Car division.
The fan favorite Super DIRTcar Series Hall of Fame 100 will cap Hall of Fame Week at Weedsport on Sunday, July 16. Another 100-lap battle for the Big Blocks will this time see a hefty $10,000 going to the winner, along with a guaranteed starting spot for the Super DIRT Week Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at Oswego Speedway. The DIRTcar Sportsman will once again be paired with the Super DIRTcar Series, along with the NY6A 600cc Micro Sprints.
The richest sprint car event ever to be held at Weedsport Speedway will take place on Saturday, July 29 and Sunday, July 30, as a purse of over $134,000 will welcome the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series for Empire State Challenge Weekend. Saturday night’s event will see the Outlaws run for $10,000 to win, alongside the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds. On Sunday, the Outlaws will do it again, this time for a lofty winner’s share of $20,000, with the DIRTcar Big Blocks joining the card.
Weedsport’s 2023 campaign draws to a close with Cavalcade Cup Weekend on Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10, highlighted by five exciting divisions across two nights of action. Saturday will feature the DIRTcar 358-Modified Series, the lone stop of the year for the winged Empire Super Sprints, as well as the NY6A Micro Sprint Invitational.
