Camargo, IL (3-10-10) by Kelly Brown Public Relations Director The O Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions has not visited the state of New York in over ten years, but the fans of the 410 racing series will not be waiting much longer as the series has inked a deal with Chapman s Can Am Motorsports Park, Fonda Speedway, and Utica-Rome Speedway which will bring the series back to the Empire State. For the 410 sprint car fans north of the boarder, the All Stars are taking their style of fast-paced sprint car racing to Canada for the first time in 2010 when they visit Autodrome-Grandby.
Autodrome-Grandby & Fonda Speedway in June
The stretch of inaugural events will begin in Canada in Quebec just southeast of Montreal. Autodrome-Grandby, which is a half-mile, long time mainstay for dirt racing in Quebec on Friday nights. The All Star Circuit of Champions will be visiting the track in the heart of French Canada on Monday, June 7th, which promises to be an exciting event for northern sprint car fans. Autodrome-Grandby is a wide half mile, with walls both inside and out. The surface is usually easy on rubber and produces two solid grooves, either way down low or right up against the outside wall the track promises to produce exciting racing action.
The first stop in New York this season for the All Stars will be Fonda Speedway on Wednesday, June 9th. Fonda Speedway is a 1/2 mile dirt oval located at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Fonda, NY, which has been hosting races for a number of years. Fonda Speedway hosted its first race in 1927, so it has a much-storied history. The name Fonda Speedway was first used in 1953. The track has also operated as Thruway Speedway, Fonda-Fultonville Speedway and New Fonda Speedway over the years.
July in New York
The 2010 schedule for Chapman s Can Am Motorsports Park is by far the biggest in the history of the Lafargeville, New York racetrack and on Monday, July 12, the All Stars will be a part of the schedule racing at the 4/10-mile track. This event is part of the SUNY Canton Summer Sizzler event in the month of July. Then the following evening on Tuesday, July 13, the series will be traveling to Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, New York to race on the 1/2-mile banked oval. Each night the drivers of the All Star Circuit of Champions will be contending for $5,000 prizes.
Chapman s Can Am Motorsports Park dates back to 1974 when it was built by an Evans Mills, NY real estate broker, Leslie W. Brown. The current owner is racer and local businessperson Tiger Chapman. Normally the track is known for its various modified classes and street stocks, but in July, the locals will be experiencing 410-sprint car racing at its best.
The Utica-Rome Speedway is a racetrack with deep history. It began life in 1961, when it was built on some old farmland by Joe Lesik. Utica-Rome replaced the Vernon Speedway, an early stock car track which was converted into a horse racing facility. The track typically sees modified classes and street stock weekly, but when the All Stars invade the track the New York race fans will get to experience the thrilling action of the series.
In All Star racing history, the series has raced at three different tracks and held four different races in New York State. They include Albany-Saratoga Speedway (two races), Fulton Speedway, and Ransomville Speedway. The last race for the All Stars in the Empire State was held at Ransomville Speedway in May of 2000. Kelly Kinser went on to win that event.
