Oswego Speedway

As a year and a half long offseason filled with uncertainty finally makes its way out the door, Oswego Speedway has kicked preparation for its 70th Anniversary season into high gear amidst the loosening of State COVID-19 restrictions.

When Oswego Speedway’s 2021 season is underway in May, the calendar will have marked over a year and a half since a competitive event was held at the track.

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.

Over the weekend, the New York State Governor’s office issued its latest update to the executive order regarding race tracks operating with fans in attendance, now barring entry for spectators through Sunday, August 2. This information has forced Oswego Speedway to cancel racing for this Saturday, July 11, and next Saturday, July 18.

After high optimism for the potential re-opening of the Oswego Speedway with a three division card slated for Saturday, July 4, track management has received word from state and local officials that the Speedway will not be permitted to open with fans next weekend.

After a month long delay that certainly feels like years, the Oswego Speedway will finally get its 2020 season started this Saturday, June 20 with closed track testing for Novelis Supermodified, Pathfinder Bank SBS, and J&S Paving 350 teams.

Oswego Speedway has officially cancelled the Saturday, June 20th Helena-Agri Enterprises ‘Spring Championship,’ scheduled to include racing for the Novelis Supermodifieds and Pathfinder Bank SBS. It is the fifth Speedway event to fall to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The front stretch of Oswego Speedway will play host to a milk drive one week from today; Friday, May 22 at noon, to give back to the community and benefit area farmers, specifically the Upstate Niagara Cooperative corporation based in Rochester.
