1 MONTH ALERT: Super DIRT Week Bringing Its Biggest Party Yet For 10th Year in Oswego

 

OSWEGO, NY (Sept. 4, 2026) – Can you believe it’s been a decade of Racing’s Biggest Party in Oswego already?

To celebrate, Super DIRT Week 54 presented by StubHub is bringing its biggest party yet to Oswego Speedway, Oct. 5-10.

Once the “Steel Palace” is converted into the “Clay Palace,” the Northeast’s best race car drivers and teams will gather at the iconic speedway to thrill more than 30,000 fans throughout the week in the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modified, DIRTcar 358 Modified, DIRTcar Sportsman, and DIRTcar Pro Stock divisions.

Racing begins on Wednesday, Oct. 7, and continues through Saturday, Oct. 10, leading to the highlight of the week, the Super DIRTcar Series Billy Whittaker Cars 200. Along with taking home a $54,000 check for winning the 200-lap spectacle, the winner will also take home the most iconic trophy in dirt Modified racing – the Emil Lloyd “Buzzie” Reutimann championship trophy, honoring inaugural Super DIRT Week winner “Buzzie” Reutimann.

PARTY TIME

However, the party starts long before the cars even reach the racetrack. At least 200 of the more than 1,000 campers who spend the week at Oswego Speedway take advantage of early camper load-in on Sunday, Oct. 4, starting at 9 a.m. Then fans, drivers, and team members get to mingle at the Super DIRT Week Kickoff Party that night at Lighthouse Lanes with free food, drink specials, and bowling from 6 to 10 p.m.

Two fan-favorite events return on Monday: the Charity Golf Tournament at Radisson Greens Golf Course and Quarter Midget and Micro Mania in the infield of Oswego Speedway. The Golf Tournament, where fans can play against drivers – made possible by John and Laura Wight and Weedsport Productions – benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Quarter Midget and Microd Mania is a free event for spectators, featuring kids ages 5 to 16 racing in the infield of the speedway – Features start at 6 p.m.

Tuesday brings an exciting new addition to Super DIRT Week – Racing’s Biggest Block Party. The City of Oswego, the Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce by CenterState and Super DIRT Week will transform West 1st Street in Downtown Oswego into a high-revving block party, featuring live music, race cars, food vendors, fan activities, and more from 4 to 8 p.m.

The party won’t stop there, as once the block party ends, the pit area at Oswego Speedway will be rocking with a DJ Party at the Island Tent from 8 to 9 p.m., and then a live concert by the band Bendher from 9 to 11 p.m.

From Wednesday to Saturday, the event’s schedule will be loaded with live concerts, DJ Parties, and fan activities mixed in with the nightly racing. Leading off the activities will be the annual Super DIRT Week City of Oswego Parade on Wednesday, where 50 races parade around the streets of Oswego, starting at noon.

Other highlights throughout the week include a cornhole tournament on Friday, Oct. 9, a post-race concert by the band Infinity on Friday, the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 Top-30 Drivers Autograph Session on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 1 p.m., and a post-race concert on Saturday by Josh Cox & The Rattle Snakes. There will also be a best campsite contest, with fans encouraged to decorate their campsite in the traditions and colors of their home country.

As part of a new promotion, fans will have the ability to collect free pins – ranging from driver numbers to event logos – throughout the week, just by attending the events and visiting the drivers in the pit area.

RACE TIME

Super DIRT Week regularly brings together hundreds of entrants across the Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modified Series, DIRTcar Sportsman Series, and DIRTcar Pro Stock Series.

Mat Williamson, of St. Catharines, ON, enters as the reigning Super DIRT Week champion and reigning Super DIRTcar Series champion. His win at Oswego last year marked his fourth Billy Whittaker Cars 200 title and the second time he swept the 200 and DIRTcar 358 Modified Series Salute to the Troops 150 presented by Air National Guard in the same year. If he accomplishes that feat again this year, it will mark his fourth straight Salute to the Troops 150 win and make him the first driver to sweep the 200 and 150 three times.

However, a supergroup of Northeast talent will be eager to end his reign and etch their name in history. Among them are current Super DIRTcar Series points leader Alex Yankowski, who finished third last year, 10-time Series champion and three-time Super DIRT Week champion Matt Sheppard, and six-time Super DIRT Week champion Stewart Friesen.

An injury forced Friesen to watch Super DIRT Week from the sidelines last year. But now, fully healed and riding a wave of momentum with the Super DIRTcar Series, already claiming six Feature wins this year, he’s poised for a triumphant return. Another Billy Whittaker Cars 200 victory this year would make him the winningest Big Block Modified driver in Super DIRT Week history, surpassing Hall of Famer Brett Hearn.

All four of the main Feature events – Super DIRTcar Series Billy Whittaker Cars 200 (Oct. 10), DIRTcar 358 Modified Salute to the Troops 150 presented by Air National Guard (Oct. 9), DIRTcar Sportsman Great Lakes 75 (Oct. 10), and DIRTcar Pro Stock I Love NY 50 (Oct. 9) – will award valuable points to each division’s season-long championship battle. But for the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series, the event will mark its series finale, with the champion being crowned Friday night. Currently, Bastien Caron, of Inverness, QC, leads reigning Series champion Pete Stefanski, of Wheatfield, NY, by 38 points.

THE CHASE FOR HISTORY: Stewart Friesen Aims For Seventh Billy Whittaker Cars 200 Win at Super DIRT Week 54

OSWEGO, NY (September 3, 2026) – When Stewart Friesen arrives at Super DIRT Week 54 in October, he’ll have the opportunity to reach a milestone no one has reached before.

After winning the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 in 2024, the Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON driver tied Brett Hearn with six event victories. That means a win at Oswego Speedway in 2026 would give him the most Big Block wins in the event’s iconic history.

“It’s pretty wild to think about,” Friesen said. “The success we had at the Mile and then winning the first one at Oswego was really cool. Then, it took eight or nine years to win another one, and it shows just how tough Super DIRT Week is as an event. Two hundred laps. It doesn’t really matter the venue. It’s the best in the business, and you have to be perfect.”

Perfect is what Friesen was at Super DIRT Week 52, winning the SRI Performance and Stock Car Steel Pole Award, before leading all 200 laps. 

That race was also the first time the event was run on Saturday night, creating different variables than what drivers had seen in years past. But that didn’t deter Friesen, who said he enjoyed the new format.

“The nighttime race was something that was well received,” Friesen said. “I was excited about it. Just being a short track, and the track conditions that you get in nighttime racing over afternoon racing are so much more fun. Especially a track like Oswego. The way it’s laid out, you can run top, bottom, or middle. There’s 10 different ways around the place.

“We were able to time trial good and stay out front in clean air and control the race. That worked in our favor. That doesn’t happen all the time. We’ll go there this year with a well -prepared Halmar No. 44 and try to do the best we can again.”

So far in 2026, he’s been the best Big Block Modified driver in Super DIRTcar Series competition. Despite not racing the entire Series due to his NASCAR Trucks Series commitments, Friesen has reached Victory Lane six times and only missed the podium once in 10 starts. That includes a stretch of four wins in his last five Series appearances heading into the Cavalcade Cup 100 at Weedsport Speedway. He’s also moved into fifth on the Series all-time wins list.

Friesen attributed his success to his team’s longevity and said they’re just clicking right now.

“This group’s been together for a number of years,” Friesen said. “Same cars. Same motors. Just fine-tuning stuff across the board. It’s awesome the way it’s come together this year, and surprising, honestly, even from our end. It’s not one thing we’ve figured out or done differently; it’s a combination of probably 10 or 12 different things that we’ve been able to dial in to give the car what it needs every time it hits the racetrack.”

Friesen’s quest for a seventh Billy Whittaker Cars 200 win will have an added wrinkle this season. While he’ll be pulling double-duty, it’ll be between two different cars in two different states. Along with driving his Big Block, the NASCAR Trucks Series is racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday, Oct. 9, meaning he’ll fly back-and-forth between Qualifying and the Super DIRT Week 54 finale.

“That’s tricky,” Friesen said. “The last couple of years it’s worked out schedule-wise. A few years ago, I had to bail. We raced Talladega on Saturday, so I ended up leaving, I think, Friday and coming back Saturday night. It’s tricky, but having my great teammates to rely on helps.

“Hopefully there’s no weather that’s an interference, so we’ll get qualified on Thursday with the Big Block. I’ll fly commercially out of Syracuse Friday morning. We race an afternoon-night race with the truck at Charlotte, and then we’ll fly back into Syracuse Saturday morning.”

Friesen and the Super DIRTcar Series will battle for the “Buzzie” at Super DIRT Week 54 presented by StubHub, Oct. 5-10, at Oswego Speedway in Oswego, NY. The event culminates with the 54th running of the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 on Saturday, Oct. 10.
