KIRKWOOD, NY…Five Mile Point Speedway will host racing events in 2023. The closing on the sale of the speedway has been pushed back several months into the early fall of this year. This has created the opportunity to run several special events this season. The first event is set to take place on Sunday, April 16th. The racing this season will now mark the 73rd consecutive season at the Kirkwood oval.
The speedway will run a three-race “Spring Triple Crown” of events in April. Those dates are set for Sunday, April 16th, 23rd and 30th. After the completion of those events, racing will take place roughly once every three weeks with a Summer Series for regional race teams. Those six summer events will see the Modifieds in competition.
The “Spring Triple Crown” of events will feature Crate Sportsman, 600 Modifieds, Futures Sportsman and Four Cylinder racing. An open test and tune session will take place this Friday, April 14th beginning at 6 p.m. The speedway has already hosted one test and tune session a few weeks ago.
