Story By: DAN KAPUSCINSKI / WEEDSPORT SPEEDWAY – WEEDSPORT, NY – While race fans and race teams alike were set for last Sunday’s Super DIRTcar Series Hall of Fame 100 at Weedsport Speedway, the event’s postponement to Monday, Aug. 15 now further builds the Super DIRTcar Series’ SummerFAST Speedweeks into an epic week-long event.
Speedweeks have long been associated with racing divisions across the country, especially in the world of Sprint Car racing in nearby Pennsylvania and the Midwestern portion of the country. However, until the 2020 edition the Super DIRTcar Series’ OctoberFAST, a Modified Speedweek was somewhat unheard of.
That changes this August as Weedsport Speedway will open SummerFAST on Monday, Aug. 15, followed by events at Brewerton Speedway on Aug. 16, Fulton Speedway on Aug. 17 and Land of Legends Raceway on Aug. 18.
“The rescheduled Hall of Fame 100 puts Weedsport Speedway in the unique position of opening the first DIRTcar SummerFAST Speedweek and we couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to do so,” said Weedsport Speedway General Manager, Joe Skotnicki. “We look forward to making the most of this opportunity presented to us as we get race fans set for a fantastic week of Modified racing.”
The Weedsport opener will be the highest paying event of the SummerFAST Speedweek, paying $10,000 to the winner at the conclusion of 100-laps, and will award a 50th NAPA Super DIRT Week guaranteed starting spot. The remaining events at Brewerton, Fulton and Land of Legends will each be contested over 60-laps, with a top prize of $7,500 for each main event.
Weedsport’s entire racing card from July 24 will move to August 15 as the DIRTcar Sportsman and NY6A Hoosier 600 Sprint Tour will join the fun to open a full week of competition for area race fans.
