Story By: KENNY SHUPP / OUTLAW SPEEDWAY – DUNDEE, NY – “When I purchased Outlaw Speedway from then owner, Dean Hoag seven years ago, I immediately made the Dutch Hoag Memorial one of the top events on my yearly schedule. Each year we close the race season with this traditional event which honors one of the all-time greats within this region.“ That according to Outlaw Speedway owner, Tyler Siri.
Dutch Hoag barnstormed the northeast during the 50’s thru the early 1970’s winning everywhere he went on both asphalt and dirt. He is still the winningest Langhorne Speedway Race of Champion’s driver with five total wins, (three on dirt and two on pavement) coming in 1956, 1960, 1963, 1967 and 1968.
In his lone appearance at the famed Daytona International Speedway in 1969, Hoag finished second to eventual winner, Lee Roy Yarbrough in the Permatex 300 for the Grand National Cars.
The Dutch Hoag legacy will continue to live on at Outlaw Speedway as Siri will present the traditional Dutch Hoag Memorial weekend on Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22, 2022.
