WEEDSPORT, NY (March 28, 2018) – After a year’s absence due to two separate rainouts at Weedsport Speedway, the Craftsman World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series returns to The Port on Sunday, July 29 for the Empire State Challenge presented by the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England.

All of the cars and stars of the World of Outlaws tour including Donny Schatz, Sheldon Haudenschild, Brad Sweet, Shane Stewart, Jason Johnson, David Gravel and more will be a part of the evening as they join the newly formed Hall of Fame Weekend at Weedsport featuring the Super DIRTcar Series Big Blocks on Saturday, July 28.

Coca-Cola will present the racing action on July 29 and once again returns as the official soft drink of Weedsport Speedway.

“Coca-Cola and auto racing have become a formidable pairing over the years,” said Weedsport Speedway promoter, Jimmy Phelps. “We are pleased to have Coca-Cola on board for 2018 and hope our fans enjoy stopping down to one of our many concessions options this coming season for an ice-cold refreshment, especially during what we hope will be a warm and sunny Hall of Fame Weekend.”

Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England took flight as a single bottling operation out of Laconia, NH, in 1977. Through rapid growth and various acquisitions, that small operation has grown into one of the nation’s largest Coca-Cola bottlers.

Currently operating 35 facilities, Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England serves customers throughout all of New England, much of New York State, and a portion of Pennsylvania with three state-of-the-art production facilities located in East Hartford, CT, Needham Heights, MA, and Londonderry, NH.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England is proud to bottle and sell products owned by The Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Monster Energy Corporation, fairlife, and The Moxie Beverage Company.
