OSWEGO, NY (July 28, 2020) – New York State has again extended executive order 202.3 on public gatherings until August 20, thus forcing Oswego Speedway to cancel events originally scheduled for the 1st, 8th, and 15th of the coming month.
The events cancelled include the Summer Championship presented by Best Western Plus and Quality Inn & Suites Riverfront, U-Pull U-Save and JP Jewelers Retro Night, and the Barlow’s Concession ‘Road to the Championship’ program.
Oswego Speedway’s Skip’s Fish Fry and CME Electrical Supply ‘TEAL Palace’ Championship Night remains on as scheduled for August 22, although this event would now serve as a ‘tune up’ for Budweiser International Classic Weekend slated for September 4 to 6.
Speedway management continues to work closely with elected officials, and is hopeful to race with fans in attendance on Labor Day Weekend. For the latest updates from the track, FOLLOW on Twitter @OswegoSpeedway or LIKE on Facebook at Facebook.com/OswegoSpeedway.
Regularly scheduled Fast Friday sessions will continue through August 28. Interested teams may contact Paul at oswegospeedway@gmail.com to sign up.
