OSWEGO, N.Y. – Oswego Speedway officials have released the track’s 70th anniversary schedule, which will begin with a Memorial Weekend special on Saturday, May 23 and will be capped by Budweiser Classic Week 64 from Sept. 4-6.

The track’s weekly Novelis Supermodified and Pathfinder Bank SBS divisions will compete on all but one date a piece while special events are planned for the 350 Supermodifieds and the Sunoco New York Super Stock Series.

For the third year in a row, the 13-race title fight for the Novelis Supermodifieds will open with the Jim Shampine Memorial Twin 50’s on May 23 alongside a full card of racing for Pathfinder Bank SBS and 350 Supers, both of which will begin their points season that evening as well.

Following more than 200 laps of competitive racing on opening day, the speedway will bounce back into action one week later as the winged warriors of the ISMA Supermodified tour will be back in the Port City for the 50-lap Jack Murphy Memorial.

While the SBS division will support the ISMA Supermodifieds on May 30, Small Block Super teams will receive the night off on Saturday, June 6 as the speedway will welcome back the Sunoco New York Super Stock Series for their first of three planned appearances.

Additionally, Novelis Supers will be back on the calendar for their third full-point feature of the season set at 50 laps in distance. Supermods will be joined by the 350 Super class, which will also receive one week off following the Opener. The winged 350’s will go 25 laps while the full-fendered stock cars are set for 30-laps.

The following Saturday, June 13, marks the return of a familiar Oswego Speedway tradition over forty years in the making; Novelis Supermodified Twin 35’s. The twin 35-lap features debuted at the Steel Palace in June of ’76 and returned in 2014 following a long absence. A 30-lapper for Pathfinder Bank SBS will support the second double feature event of the season for Supers.

The third June event will be the Spring Championship program on June 20, with the Novelis Supermodifieds squaring off in a 60-lap main event.

Oswego’s Spring Championship will be headlined by the extra-distance feature for the big blocks alongside a 35-lapper for Pathfinder Bank SBS. The Spring finale is one of three 60-lap mains scheduled for the Supermodifieds in 2020.

Following the track’s traditional off week for high school graduation on June 27, the summer will officially begin with an even bigger one as the speedway has tabbed Saturday, July 4 for a four-division Independence Day Championship.

Racing action on Saturday, July 4 will be headlined by a 100-lap main event for the Supers; the first race at this distance since RoC Weekend of 2013. The day will feature an additional 100 laps of feature action, including the inaugural Sportsman Modified Xtra Money Race, plus regular programs for the Pathfinder Bank SBS and 350 Supers.

Novelis Supermodified teams will receive the night off on July 11 as ISMA Supermodifieds will be in action at Jukasa Motor Speedway in Ontario. While Super teams shift gears to compete north of the border, Oswego Speedway will still be in competition with Double Feature Night on tap for the Pathfinder Bank SBS and 350 Supermodifieds.

Those at the Oswego Speedway on July 11 will be treated to 80-laps of feature racing between these two divisions as both the Small Block Supers and winged 350 Supers are set to contest in a pair of Twin 20-lap main events in this co-headliner.

One week later, the 34th running of the 75-lap, $10,000 to win Mr. Novelis Supermodified takes center stage on July 18 alongside the 35-lap, $1,500 to win Mr. Pathfinder Bank SBS show.

Oswego Speedway will be off on Saturday, July 25 for Harborfest as well as the International Supermodified Ass’n’s annual Hy-Miler Nationals scheduled for that Friday and Saturday at Ohio’s Sandusky Speedway.

An extra Saturday in August will allow for four big shows to bring the Speedway down the home stretch of the championship schedule and things will get kicked back into high gear on August 1 with the second of three 60-lap Super shows on Summer Championship Night for all three Supermod divisions.

Saturday, Aug. 8 brings the second of three Sunoco New York Super Stock Series events on Retro Night at Oswego Speedway which will coincide with the Oswego Speedway Old Timer’s Reunion at Lighthouse Lanes. This date will also serve as a regular program for the Novelis Supermodified and Pathfinder Bank SBS series.

Novelis Supermodified and Pathfinder Bank SBS teams will then participate in another 50 and 30-lap show; their final of the season, one week later on Aug. 15. 350 Supers will also be on the schedule for the second to last point race of the year.

The battle to determine Oswego Speedway’s 70th Anniversary track champions will come to a close on Saturday, Aug. 22 with the return of $5 Admission Teal Palace Track Championship Night. The Supermodifieds will compete in a 60-lap championship to close the regular season, while the Pathfinder Bank SBS and 350 Supermodifieds will run 35 and 30-lap mains respectively.

Finally, the most anticipated weekend of the year will get underway on Friday, Sept. 4 as Bud Classic Week 64 begins with qualifying. Serving as the night cap, the Sunoco New York Super Stock Series will complete their slate at Oswego with the Dave London Memorial XII. Super Stocks will race 75-laps on Classic Friday.

Classic Saturday will have just a little bit different of a feel in 2020. For a fifth year in a row, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is back on the schedule with the running of the 150-lap, Toyota Mod Classic 150 presented by McDonald’s. While the ISMA Supermodifieds have served as the co-headliner in the past, the 350 Super Busch Classic 35 will now move to Sept. 5 under the lights.

The pavement season will come to a close on Sunday, Sept. 6 with the richest Supermodified race in the world; the 64th running of the Budweiser International Classic 200 for Novelis Supermodifieds. The Pathfinder Bank SBS division will also compete in the 29th Bud Light Classic 75 Sunday afternoon.

The conclusion of Classic Weekend does not mean the conclusion of racing at Oswego Speedway in 2020 as clay will cover the surface for the fifth consecutive year as NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week XLVIII comes to town Oct. 7-11.
