Story By: MIKE WARREN / DIRTCAR – WEEDSPORT, NY – With four regions spread across the Northeast, the DIRTcar Sportsman Series continues to showcase rising stars.
Starting in May, the season runs until November at The World Short Track Championship at The Dirt Track at Charlotte—a non-points event.
The championship trail kicks off on Sunday, Aug. 11, at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park for the Battle at the Ridge before joining the Super DIRTcar Series at Fulton Speedway during SummerFAST on Wednesday, Aug. 14. Then, they’ll join the Super DIRTcar Series again on Tuesday, Aug. 20, at Ransomville Speedway for the Mike Bonesky Memorial.
A doubleheader weekend kicks off in September with the John Burr Memorial at Can-Am Speedway on Friday, Sept. 6, and the Sportsman Classic at Weedsport Speedway on Saturday, September 7, again joining the Super DIRTcar Series. September finishes with a race during the Gerald Haers Memorial on Saturday, Sept. 14, and Albany-Saratoga Speedway on Friday, Sept. 20, during Malta Massive Weekend.
October kicks off with stops at Brewerton Speedway on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and Oswego Speedway during Super DIRT Week on Saturday, Oct. 12.
Like the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, a champion will be crowned on Saturday, Oct. 19, at Brockville Ontario Speedway’s Fall Nationals.
“The drivers we have in our nucleus are getting stronger every year,” said Dean Reynolds, DIRTcar Northeast Series Director. “We had several awesome events in 2023 and hope to keep that momentum rolling in 2024 with some new venues and different events.”
