Story By: DAVE MEDLER / BREWERTON SPEEDWAY – BREWERTON, NY – The racing at the Brewerton Speedway has been as hot as the summer weather and will continue this Friday, July 9 when NAPA Auto Parts presents a night of fast, affordable family fun at the speedway.
Racing on the ‘D-Shaped Dirt Demon’ will feature the Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman, AmeriCU Credit Union Mod Lites, Fleet Repairs 4-Cylinders plus a visit from the Dirt Modified Nostalgia Tour.
