Story By: SPENCER SPEEDWAY – WILLIAMSON, NY – In an effort to give the property more drying time, the “open” practice scheduled for Friday, May 17 has been moved to next Friday, May 24.
Practice on the Williamson, N.Y., ‘speed-plant’ will take place Friday, May 24 with gates opening for competitors at 4:00pm and practice going until “dusk”. Grandstands will be open for “Free”.
“While we may have been able to conduct practice Friday, weather permitting, we felt this was the best decision to protect the facility and the grounds as they have been over-saturated for much of the Spring,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions. “In the event that a car gets off the track into the wet infield or we get a hauler stuck, we will just be putting the progress we’ve made behind. We know the weather is unpredictable now.”
In order to work with the teams with next weekend’s events on tap the next day the inspection bays in the garage will be open for teams to make adjustments following practice to prepare for the events at Wyoming County International Speedway in Perry, NY, the next day on Saturday, May 25.
The Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series will be the headline division when the gates swing open for the 69th season of racing Spencer Speedway on Friday, May 31.
The track will also host the first-ever “Wings & Things” highlighting a unique event and racing program on Friday, June 14 with the SMAC 350 Super Modifieds competing in the “Showdown at Spencer” along with the Small Block Super Modified Championship Series running on the ½-mile.
The “Food Truck Frenzy” featuring local food trucks and tastes from the area will also make its return to Spencer Speedway with some unique additions for the 2024 season. In addition to standard fare from the Ontario Volunteer Fire Department, there will be a BBQ truck joining us as well as an Ice Cream truck along with the Williamson Apple Blossom Festival selling fried dough and more, along with the new addition of a popcorn truck.
