OSWEGO, NY (November 20, 2018) - Due to a scheduling change that has moved high school graduation for all Oswego County schools to Saturday, June 29, Oswego Speedway officials have now made an adjustment to the track's 2019 schedule that will accommodate fans and teams who wish to attend graduation ceremonies.
Originally, the annual June 'off week' was set for the usual weekend of the 22nd, but with the graduation date change, the regular show scheduled for July 6 has now been moved to June 22. The June 22 program will feature a 50-lap main event for the Novelis Supermodifieds, a 30-lap Pathfinder Bank SBS feature, and a 35-lapper for the 350 Supermodifieds.
Instead of the Independence Weekend Grand Prix being held on the same day as graduaton June 29, the track will now go quiet that weekend before returning with extra distance features a week later on Saturday, July 6. The Novelis Supermodifieds, Pathfinder Bank SBS, and 350 Supermodifeids will all be on the card with the event highlighted by a 75-lap main event for the Supers. Fireworks will cap the program.
Time schedules, grandstand pricing, and more for the 2019 schedule will be announced over the course of the next several weeks.
For those wishing to renew Classic or season ticket packages, you will have until Saturday, May 1 to contact Paul at oswegospeedway@gmail.com. Payment for Classic tickets will be due mid-summer.
Those who need to renew their Classic Weekend camping spaces have until Monday, December 31. You can also do this by sending the track an email at oswegospeedway@gmail.com.
Several ‘Fast Friday’ testing sessions are planned prior to Open Practice on May 25. It is anticipated that the track will be ready by mid-April. You can email oswegospeedway@gmail.com to sign up for potential testing slots.
Rule changes for the 2019 season which include Supermodified wing specs, Small Block Super crate engine specs, and the rules for the new 350 Supermodified class can be found at OswegoSpeedway.com.
An updated 2019 rule book will be available in PDF form in the coming weeks and can be located at OswegoSpeedway.com as well. This rule book will detail rules packages for all three classes, plus point structure, purse information, and more.
Driver registration for the Novelis Supermodified, Pathfinder Bank SBS and 350 Supermodified divisions will be open to competitors no later than Monday, December 3.
