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!

This weekend is dedicated to those we lost, those that fought valiantly to protect our Flag and our freedoms.  Let us never forget.
Busy weekend of Racing ahead, with some shows shifting to Sunday.  With the big Mansfield re-opening cancelled a while ago, the big show of the weekend happens at Columbus Motor Speedway, which hosts the JEGS / CRA All Stars Tour Saturday.  On dirt, Fremont Speedway hosts the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions both Saturday and Sunday.
Weather is expected to be gorgeous all weekend, with little to no chance of significant rain.  Make sure to get out there and support your local short tracks!

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.

While the dirt drivers have been able to have a few weeks of fun in the mud, weekly asphalt racing will kick off Saturday!  It also appears that the weather gods have finally decided to let up, and we should be able to get racing in around the region.

Racing Around NEO: Sprints Kick Off Speedweek

Leave a comment

NEORN_MidvaleSpeedway_6.8.13_EDITED (25 of 230)
There is quite a bit of everything and anything racing this weekend.  Friday night kicks off the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Ohio 410 Sprint Speedweek, which will probably be the focus of dirt track fans across the state.  Also kicking off Friday is the “No Box Bonanza” weekend at Summit Motorsports Park.  On asphalt, Youth Explosion Night returns for its second visit at Lake County.

Saturday…more!  On the entertainment side, Lake Erie hosts Monster Jam while Lake County hosts the “Knights of Destruction.”  MSA Supermodified teams will turn to Sandusky Speedway, hoping to get some track time before July’s Hy-Miler ISMA Nationals.  Dirt-wise, Sharon, Deerfield, and Hilltop all have regular shows on tap (in case All Star Sprints at Eldora are a bit too far to drive).  Plus, Dragway 42 & Thompson Raceway Park feature drag racing of different types.

You can find all the details for racing this weekend (and beyond) by continuing to read after the break!

More than 700 miles separate the eight events and seven tracks that will take part in nine days that make up the 2013 edition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek.  While NEO Racing News will not be directly covering the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint tradition, I realize that many fans make the trek across the state to follow 410 Sprint drivers from start to finish.  This post will try to help by containing all the important information in one big, easy to read chunk.  Continue reading after the break for all the race information.

Most Tracks On for Racing Despite Cold

Leave a comment

While weather has cancelled racing at a handful of tracks, many others plan to push through the cold and run races.

While there is plenty of great racing still on schedule tonight, the highlight is probably Toledo Speedway in Toledo, OH.  The ARCA / CRA Super Series and Midwest Tour will both hit the track for the 7-UP 150 tonight at 5 PM.  Sharon Speedway features its first Super Late Model Showdown night of the year, while Hilltop Speedway hosts EDGE Modifieds.  Also, a pair of FAST series compete at Fremont and Columbus.  Drivers battling for the Fremont Attica Sprint Title hit up Fremont Speedway for the first time of 2013, while FAST Series Legend Cars take to Columbus Speedway.

Weather was cold and damp enough to cancel racing at Attica Raceway Park last night, and also led to the cancellations of four other races.  Midvale Speedway and Lorain County Speedway were both scheduled to start their seasons tonight, but have pushed things back to the 27th now.  Eldora and Deerfield also cancelled events due to weather conditions.
