Story By: CURTIS BERLEUE / EMPIRE SUPER SPRINTS – DUNDEE, NY – After a long off season, the Empire Super Sprints are ready to get their 2025 season under way this Saturday afternoon at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY.
Paying tribute to local racing legend Cal Lane, the Outlaw Spring Nationals will start the season off with a bang paying $4,220 to the winner.
In 85 previous events at the Dundee oval, 52 different drivers have sat in ESS victory lane. Most recently it was Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Hoag Memorial last October.
