First-time race at Ohsweken, plus returns to Canandaigua, Grandview, Five Mile Point, Utica-Rome, join annual specials for Northeast’s premier dirt tour

INDIANAPOLIS – Dec. 11, 2014 – The Super DIRTcar Series announced today at the Performance Racing Industry tradeshow a combination of traditional events and races at new venues will make up its 2015 schedule.

The 29-race series kicks off during the DIRTcar Nationals presented by Summit Racing Equipment Feb. 18-21 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla. The series championship begins April 25 with a 100-lapper at Fulton (N.Y.) Speedway before an exciting Wednesday night return on May 20 to Canandaigua (N.Y.) Speedway followed on Wednesday, May 27, to Brockville Ontario Speedway.

A four-race slate of events in June begins with the series’ return Tuesday, June 16, to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa. for the first time since 2010, then rolls Wednesday, June 24, to Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y., for the first time since 2003; Sunday, June 28, at Cornwall (Ont.) Speedway; and June 30 at Ohsweken (Ont.) Speedway, where the series will race for the first time in its history.

July features five events, including the “Stars & Stripes” on Thursday, July 2, at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in Elbridge, N.Y.; Brett Hearn’s “The Big Show 7” on Tuesday, July 7, at Albany-Saratoga in Malta, N.Y.; the series’ return to Five Mile Point Speedway in Kirkwood, N.Y., for the first time since 1997; and back-to-back nights in Quebec on Monday and Tuesday, July 20-21, at Autodrome Drummond and Autodrome Granby.

Tradition runs deep in August as the series competes three times in the first week with races on Monday, Aug. 3, at Merrittville Speedway in Thorold, Ont.; Tuesday, Aug. 4, at Ransomville (N.Y.) Speedway; and Thursday, Aug. 6 in the “Hall of Fame Classic” at Weedsport (N.Y.) Speedway. A week later on Thursday, Aug. 13, it’s the annual “Mr. Dirt Track USA” event at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, N.Y.

Weekend events take center stage in September, with races on Friday, Sept. 11, at Autodrome Granby in Quebec and Saturday, Sept. 12, at Mohawk International Raceway in Akwesasne, N.Y., followed on Friday, Sept. 25, at Brewerton (N.Y.) Speedway and Saturday, Sept. 26, at Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway.

Major events highlight October, none bigger than the $50,000-to-win Syracuse 200 at NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week in Syracuse. Then the Sixth Annual Fall Nationals at Brockville Ontario Speedway and a second event at Weedsport Speedway will set the stage for the championship-deciding Bad Boy Buggies World Finals on Nov. 5-6-7 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C.
