The version française ici As the season is about to start on April 28, teams are busy preparing for a long and difficult summer. This will be the 65th year for this historic track and opening night will host the DIRTcar Sportsman Series, Modified 358s as well as all regular divisions. The competition promises to be fierce for this year, as most of the teams that have competed on the asphalt surface in previous years have adapted well to the transition to dirt last year and are ready to challenge each other in the championship of their respective classes. Opening night will see the DIRTcar Sportsman Series come to town with some of the best drivers from the Northeastern United States and Canada competing against regulars in this performance class.
