Season Opener on Tap at Utica Rome

Opening the season will be “The Pumpkin Pie Leftovers” presented by Mid-Hudson Concrete Products. The Pumpkin Pie event, rescheduled from last October will feature a complete new show of qualifying heats, consolations, and the "Pepsi 100" for the Pro Stocks. Joining the Pro Stocks will be the Patriot Sprint Group, CNY Mini-Sprints, Sportsman, Pure Stocks, and Four Cylinder Super Stocks.

Gates will open at Noon with racing slated for 2 p.m. NOTE, try to be early for the parking will most likely be difficult and the lines for sign in will also bit a bit long. CNYMS officials will have to get each of the cars inspected prior to the start of the season as well.

If you were there last October, you will be admitted free of charge. Drivers signed in from last year are also entered and will not have to pay the car entry fee. For new attendees, admission for this action packed show is just $11 for the grandstands and the pit admission is set at $25.

Utica-Rome Speedway is located on Route 5 in the village of Vernon, just minutes from New York State Thruway Exit 33.
