Dear Race Fan and Competitor

At the 40th Running of Super DIRT Week we said we’d be here for the 50th Running. And here we are. A historic moment in time.

‘Racing’s Biggest Party’ was back in a big way last year, and now, for the 50th Running of Super DIRT Week, we’re bringing you a party like never before.

With the help of Oswego Speedway’s staff, the iconic Steel Palace will once again be converted into the Clay Palaceto bring you one of the most historic motorsports events this year.

To all our fans, drivers, team owners, media and friends, we have to give a special thanks for making Super DIRT Week’s grand return last year a triumphant success.

We also must thank Governor Kathy Hochul and the State of New York for their continued support of Super DIRT Week and our commitment to providing the best racing possible in New York.

Champions. Veterans. Rookies. Iconic legends. They’ll all join us again to be a part of this significant moment in Super DIRT Week history. And only one driver will walk away with the special 50th Running Trophy, presented to the winner of the Billy Whittaker Cars 200.

Enclosed here, you’ll find the ultimate Fan and Competitor’s Guide to what has become the ultimate week of DIRTcar racing. It contains everything you’ll need to know about what is going on during this exciting week of racing.

Continuing the make sure we grow the party every year, there will be a Super DIRT Week Kickoff Part Sunday, Oct. 2 at Lighthouse Lanes, which will include bowling, food, drink specials and music deep into the night. Then on Monday, Oct. 3, we’ll host the inaugural Bart Contracting Company Charity Golf Tournament at Radisson Greens Golf Club with all proceeds from the tournament going to Colorectal Cancer Research in honor of Albany-Saratoga Speedway promoter Lyle DeVore and his fight to conquer the illness.

Throughout the week there will also be cornhole tournaments, music and fireworks, along with the best drivers in the Northeast putting on thrilling shows in each division. We’ll wrap the historic week up by crowning the 50th Billy Whittaker Cars 200 champion on Sunday, Oct. 9 – a moment you won’t want to miss.

From all of us at DIRTcar, we are grateful for your continued support and are proud to have you a part of our racing family. We look forward to another great week of racing. Thank you for helping us make Super DIRT WeekRacing’s Biggest Party.

Sincerely,
