Racing Calendar: June 19th to June 27th

What a weekend ahead for the Northeast Ohio racing scene.  Not only does Ohio Sprint Speedweek kick off at Attica Raceway Park, but the ARCA Gold Cup races with The Main Event Racing Series for the first time at Sandusky Speedway.

If that wasn’t enough, Mansfield Speedway re-opens for the first time in many years with a Sunday show.  The MSA Supermodifieds highlight a three division Grand Reopening, which is the first of six scheduled shows.

For dirt fans, along with Sprint Speedweek, the first ever Ohio Dirt Late Model Speedweek finished up at Atomic on Saturday.  There’s a little bit of everything for everybody, so check out the schedule below and plan your weekend accordingly!

Weekend Calendar: May 15th – 17th

Highlight of the racing weekend is the ARCA Racing Series making its annual visit to Toledo Speedway.  The ARCA Truck Series races Saturday, then the Menards 200 runs Sunday.  Discount tickets are available at participating Menards stores.

I will be at Lake County Speedway for their weekly racing action, but everybody should get out to their local track and enjoy the beautiful weather that appears to have returned to Northeast Ohio.

Some things to note…Sandusky has re-scheduled both The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodified races that were supposed to run last week.  The Main Event race has been moved to July 11th, while the Supermodifieds have moved to August 15th.

The Mansfield Grand Re-Opening scheduled for May 23rd has been postponed.  The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodifieds will both announce new dates for Mansfield early next week.

I will also be adding Summit Motorsports Park, Thompson Raceway Park, and Championship Kart Racing Association dates to the calendar this weekend.

The Northeast Ohio racing scene is hoping to keep the great weather and racing rolling into the next weekend!  Every weekly track is active now, by my count.  If you haven’t made it out to your local track yet, this weekend would be a great opportunity!
