Story By: DAN KAPUSCINSKI – WEEDSPORT, NY – Weedsport Speedway’s 2025 season rolls on this Sunday, July 6 with the ESS Sprint Car Speedweek Finale in conjunction with the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series, presented by Pit Stop Convenience Stores and Marathon.
The Port’s July 6 event will be the second of six race nights at the 3/8 mile oval and will feature a three-division card as the Hoosier 600 Sprint Tour will make their lone stop of the season.
Sunday’s stop for the ESS Sprint Cars will be their fifth and final event of the week, concluding another edition of the ESS Sprint Car Speedweek. Current championship contenders and up-front hopefuls include the likes of Jordan Poirier, Jason Barney, Davie Franek, Logan Crisafulli, Paulie Colagiovanni, Shawn Donath, Dylan Swiernik and Joe Trenca.
As of June 30, Poirer currently leads the series in wins with three coming at Brighton Speedway, Brockville Ontario Speedway and Cornwall Motor Speedway. Nick Sheridan and Franek have also scored victories ahead of the start of ESS Sprint Car Speedweek at Can-Am Speedway on July 2.
Last year’s ESS main event wins at Weedsport were collected by Jordan Thomas and Danny Varin.
The DIRTcar 358 Modified Series has competed in three events as of June 30 with Mat Williamson leading the standings and the win column. Williamson has scored two series wins already and leads Mike Mahaney in the championship fight by a mere six points, as Mahaney has tallied three top five finishes in three starts.
