The busy weekend of track openings will start on Friday night in western Pennsylvania at Motordrome Speedway, where pro late models are the headlining Whelen All-American Series Division I class.
Saturday’s slate is chock full of season-openers. In the Empire State, Airborne Park Speedway will launch its season with a special 100-lap feature for the J&S Steel Modified feature division while down on Long Island the NASCAR Modifieds will run Twin 30s at Riverhead Raceway. New England short tracks Monadnock Speedway (New Hampshire) and New London-Waterford Speedbowl (Connecticut), both featuring modifieds, get the green flag Saturday night as well.
Representing the Midwest among the Saturday openers is Michigan’s Kalamazoo Speedway and its Intimidator 100 for the Outlaw Super Late Models. Junction Motor Speedway will open in Nebraska with its NASCAR Dirt Late Models and Lake County Speedway is set to roar on the shore of Lake Erie in Ohio. Saturday also features a pair of openers in the Southeast with North Carolina bullring Bowman Gray Stadium set to feature 200 laps of modified action and late model Twin 75s at Virginia’s Motor Mile Speedway.
