Over the course of 40 years, 82 Empire Super Sprints events have been contested at the Dundee oval, producing 50 different winners. Most recently, Jared Zimbardi and Jordan Thomas visited victory lane in 2023, while mother nature intervened and cancelled the other two ESS events scheduled last season.
As always, a strong field is expected for this special non-points event to kick off the 2024 season. The evenings Cobra Coaches Dash will be presented by Lanes Yamaha of nearby Watkins Glen.
Friday night has been set aside as a practice night, and all teams are invited to shake down their rides ahead of Saturdays racing action.

Saturday’s schedule sees pit gates opening at noon, grandstands at 1pm, hot laps at 2pm and racing at 3pm. Pit admission will be $45, and grandstand admission is $25 for adults, $22 for seniors 63+, and kids 12 & under admitted free of charge.
