Brewerton Speedway To Welcome ESS Speedweek Plus Modifieds This Friday Night
Story By: DAVE MEDLER / BREWERTON SPEEDWAY – BREWERTON, NY – The methanol breathing, clay slinging winged warriors of the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints Speedweek will invade the Brewerton Speedway Friday, July 2.
Add the 800 horsepower, grandstand shaking, Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds plus the DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman, and the Fleet Repair 4-Cylinders, it will be a festival of speed to kick off America’s birthday weekend. Mod Lites have the week off.
Adult grandstand admission is $25 with everyone 18 years old and younger is free. Pit admission is $40. Pit will open at 4:30 pm. Grandstands 5:30 pm. Racing 7:30 pm.
Larry Wight will be there to defend his home track when he straps into his potent FX Caprara Honda, Gypsum Express, Tracey Road Equipment, #99L Sprint Car. Wight is the defending winner of the ESS Speedweek event at the speedway in 2019 when he outran Matt Tanner, Jordan Poirier, Denny Peebles and Jason Barney for the popular win.
After a week off the Big Block Modifieds will be ready to slug it out on the D-Shaped Dirt Demon’. Coming into this Friday there has yet to be a repeat winner this season.
Just like the Modifieds, the DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman have not had a driver go to victory lane more than once.
