WEEDSPORT, NY (November 20, 2025) – Diesel is set to meet the dirt as the American Big Rig Racing Series will make its first stop in New York State on Friday, September 18 when the Page Trucking Big Rig Nationals invades Weedsport Speedway.
In a collaboration between Weedsport Speedway and Weedsport based, Page Trucking, Central New York race fans will have the opportunity to witness the 1,000 horsepower American Big Rig Racing Series battle it out on the small confines of The Port.
“This is really exciting on a lot of levels,” said Weedsport Speedway promoter, Jimmy Phelps. “It has been decades since the big rigs raced locally, so to be able to showcase them here in Weedsport is a tremendous opportunity. We cannot thank the Page Trucking group enough for sharing their vision and trusting in us to make it a reality.”
Founded in 2023, the American Big Rig Racing Series has the goal of providing high quality racing experiences for fans across the country. This unique racing series will visit 15 different states in 2026, from as far west as Oklahoma, east to North Carolina, and for the first time north to the state of New York.
Competitive manufacturers in the series range from Peterbilt to Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo and Mac. All trucks in competition were at one time working trucks, weighing in at 13,000+ lbs., with only slight competitive modifications.
“We are excited to present this event as part of our Truck Driver Appreciation week at Page Trucking,” said Dan Titus, President of Page Trucking. “Page Transportation’s rich heritage in the trucking industry, combined with decades of passion and support in the local motorsports community makes this a win-win and we cannot wait to see these guys in action.”
For over 50 years, Page Trucking has been a trusted name in the transportation industry. Page prides themselves in their extensive network of company drivers and owner operators, as well as their loyal customers, built through a steadfast commitment to excellence in customer service and customized bulk trucking solutions.
A full evening of action is planned for September 18 with live music, a Touch a Truck event for kids, as well as a Track Walk to be able to get up close and personal with the trucks and drivers competing during the night.
