Story By: NICK GRAZIANO / DIRTCAR – WEEDSPORT, NY – The Northeast’s DIRTcar Sportsman Series is set to thrill fans throughout New York and beyond in 2023, including Super DIRT Week 51.
From April to October, the best drivers in the region will showcase their talents across 15 different tracks spanning from Ontario to North Carolina with New York and Vermont in between.
“Between the level of competition in the DIRTcar Northeast divisions and the exceptional tracks we go to, I’m excited for fans to see what we have in store for 2023,” DIRTcar Northeast Series Director Dean Reynolds said. “We had several thrilling events last year and the championship conclusions came down to the wire. I believe we’re poised to carry that momentum into 2023 for another great season.”
