Dig Safely Double’ Fast Approaching at Rolling Wheels July 24th and Weedsport Speedway July 27th Dig Safely 811.

Rolling Wheels raceway will host DIRTcar racing ‘Thursday Night Thunder” on July 24th followed by Weedsport’s grand re-opening featuring the Sportsman Classic on Sunday July 27th.
Due to heavy rains and the threat of impending weather, the Sportsman Classic has been postponed. It has been rescheduled for Sunday, July 27th at 7:00 PM.
As the excitement builds for the inaugural Sportsman Classic next Sunday, July 13th, there are a few updates and changes to the facility that you may want to be aware of.
If you’ve driven by the Cayuga County Fairgrounds in Weedsport lately, it probably doesn’t look like much has been going on. But if you take a short drive around the facility, you can see that a total facelift is underway. Unlike a lot of renovations and upgrades, this one is more than a few coats of paint, some spackle and a new name.
Mark your calendars for the inaugural “Sportsman Classic” on Sunday July 13th at the new Weedsport Speedway. The $2500-to-Win A-Main, as well as thousands of dollars in contingency awards is sure to bring out the best Sportsman Competitors in the Northeast.
If you drive by the Cayuga County Fairgrounds in Weedsport, it may look like not much has been going on since the property was last used during Super DIRT Week for a DIRTcar 358 modified event last October. But under new owner Al Heinke, a lot has been going on according to Weedsport Speedway manager and racer Jimmy Phelps, who is overseeing a complete makeover of the property that could have a huge impact on the future of racing in Central New York.
