When the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds take to Weedsport Speedway for the Empire State Challenge Sunday, May 17, Stewart Friesen will appear in the fields of both races. The three-time Syracuse 200 winner is slated to compete in the No. 33 Doug Emery Motorsports entry in the sprint car feature and then drive Tom Cullen’s No. 1 Westmoreland Golf Course big-block modified.
The World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series will return to Weedsport Speedway for the first time since 1993, but when drivers and fans alike head to the three-eighths mile clay oval, they will see a completely renovated, state-of-the-art racing facility.
