FULTON, NY - (April 15,2023) - Seems just like yesterday the 2023 racing season seemed far away as the offseason days seem to go by so slowly.
That is no longer the case as the Fulton Speedway staff has been hard at work preparing for the season that is right on our doorstep.
First up, in one week, Saturday, April 22 will be the first on track activity for teams to prepare for the Highbank Holdup and the season. It is open to any dirt race car. Pits will open at 1:00 pm, with cars on the track from 2:00 pm-4:00pm. Grandstands are free with the pits at $25.
On Friday, April 28 the long wait is over as Strada Mia Italian Restaurant will present night one of the Highbank Holdup Weekend.
The methanol breathing, winged warriors of the Empire Super Sprints will headline Friday night on their 40th Anniversary season for the $2000-to-win top prize.
Joining ESS will be the track points opener for the Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stocks, and the AmeriCU Credit Union Mod Lites, plus hot laps for the DOT Foods Sportsman and Tracey Road Modifieds for their big race on Saturday.
