FULTON, NY – DIRTcar Northeast will continue to sanction the weekly stock car racing action at both Brewerton Speedway and Fulton Speedway for the upcoming 2008 season. Brewerton Speedway will feature the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds under the DIRTcar banner, while Fulton Speedway will feature the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, and the UMP Street Stocks.
In weekly competition at the popular Friday night Brewerton Speedway will be the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, IMCA Modifieds, ESDCA Mod Lites, and 4-Cylinder Super Stocks. On Saturdays, Fulton Speedway will come alive with DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, and UMP Street Stocks, while the long standing Pro Stock division has been dropped. The Sportsman class will be all-crate for 2008 as planned, while the UMP Street Stock division will have the Crate Motor as an option with their rules locked solid for 2 years.
Brewerton Speedway will host the 4-Cylinder Enduro division on a semi-regular basis while the division will be weekly at Fulton as in the past. Special appearances will be made during the season by the Sprint Cars, Midstate Vintage Stock Car Club, Mini-Sprints, and more. The highly successful Beginner’s Crate Sportsman class will likely return weekly to the high banks at Fulton. The continuation of the division is pending sponsorship for 2008 and track management hopes to have the class return.
Both Brewerton and Fulton Speedway will allow 358-Modifieds to run with their Big Block Modified counterparts in a combined weekly DIRTcar Modified division offering DIRTcar Big Block Modified points. The 358-Modifieds will race under 2004 DIRT Rules, with no rev limiter, open carburetor, and a weight of 2,400 pounds. The 358-Modifieds will also not receive 358-Modified points or bonus and will be treated as a Big Block with the Hoosier tire mandatory.

Brewerton will again host the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series on Friday June 27.
The 2008 Vic 200 Weekend will be held for the 23rd time at the historic Fulton Speedway from October 2-4, with a weekend raindate of Sunday October 5.
