Outlaw Speedway’s 2025 Race Schedule Released; Season Kicks Off April 4th & 5th

Story By: KENNY SHUPP / OUTLAW SPEEDWAY – DUNDEE, NY – Without question 2024 was the best season for 9th year Outlaw Speedway owner/promoter, Tyler Siri. In fact, it was without question the best ever in the sixty-seven-year history of the historic Yates County New York Facility.

Siri has experimented with several different scenarios during his tenure tweaking the schedule each season to find what many would consider the perfect combination.

“Since I purchased this place from the late Dean Hoag I have tried several different weekly classes, unique events and touring groups both locally and nationally. Last season things really came together with what many consider the most diverse schedule yet at Outlaw. Using that as a baseline the 2025 schedule of events will pretty much mirror that of last year with a few subtle tweaks.” That is according to track owner, Tyler Siri.

The track will open for practice on Saturday, March 29, 2025, with a tentative 1:00 pm start time. Keep an eye on the tracks Facebook for updates.

Practice will be for everyone with free grandstand seating and a minimal pit fee to cover overhead costs.

Then Outlaw Speedway will swing the gates for season sixty-eight with their first two-night special of the season.

The Lucas Oil Nationals will find Open Practice on Friday, April 4 along with Front Row Dash Qualifying Events for Saturday Night’s program.

Then on Saturday, April 5, 2025, Siri and company will open for the tracks first full night of competition featuring a $4,010 to win feature for the Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modifieds. Also on the Saturday card will be the Knapp and Schlappi Lumber American Racer Tire 602 Crate Sportsman racing for a winners take of $2,100. Swarthout Recycling Street Stocks go for $1750 to win and both the Winner’s Circle Deli Mini Stocks and the NAPA Hobby Stocks will find each feature winner pocketing $1,010 to pick up their respective feature wins.

Rounding out the Saturday Night of action will be the Hustle the Highway 600cc Modified Series where the winner walks away with $1,000.

The following weekend tradition will once again find the Annual Cal Lane Spring Nationals with Friday night April 11 designated for Open Practice along with Front Row Qualifying for Saturday’s events.

The Crate Late Models run for $3,000 to win and rounding out the aggressive night of competition the Empire Super Sprints make their first of several appearances at Outlaw for the 10th Annual Spring Nationals with the victor taking home $4,220.
