Speedway 660 Sets Calendar For 27th Season

GEARY, North Brunswick – The management of Speedway 660 have announced the track’s schedule for the upcoming season.

The track, entering its 27th consecutive season of operation, will host stock car racing events from May to September, culminating in the annual SpeedWeekend in September.

The biggest change to the schedule for weekly divisions at the speedway is the rotation of divisions throughout the Summer months. With many drivers and teams wanting to maximize on the short Maritime Summer, the track has given each division off weeks throughout the racing season while still giving them ample events to chase checkered flags and ultimately a track championship.

Each of the four divisions will see 10 to 12 scheduled events, with extended distance races scattered throughout the Summer. Every race night will have a spotlight division, giving the four house classes a chance to be the headliner as the year progresses.

“We are looking forward to getting our racing schedule for the season out to our teams and fans,” said Max Roy, owner of Speedway 660. “Our teams can now plan around divisional off-weekends to spend time with their families and our fans can start circling dates to come out and cheer on their Saturday night heroes. There are plenty of marquee events scattered in this schedule and it all leads up to SpeedWeekend. I can not wait to get the season underway.”

The season kicks off on Sunday, May 24 at 2 p.m. with the Riverview Ford Lincoln Season Opener. The four house divisions, the Pro Stock, Sportsman, Street Stock and Sharp Shooters, will all race for the first time on May 24. The four staple divisions in the Geary woods will race four more times together, including Kids Day (Sunday, June 7), Christmas in July (Saturday, July 25), Fan Appreciation Night (Saturday, Aug. 22) and the Night of Champions (Saturday, Aug. 29).

The DMR Auto presents the Ricky Bobby Street Stock 150 returns for a third season, taking place on Saturday, July 11. The Late Model Sportsman and Sharp Shooter divisions will play support to the biggest Street Stock division race in Eastern Canada. An early arrival party, the Ricky Bobby Bash, will take place on Friday, July 10. A rain date for the Ricky Bobby 150 has been set aside for Sunday, July 12.

SpeedWeekend will cap a busy season at one of New Brunswick’s top oval tracks. The Labour Day classic kicks off on Friday, Sept. 4 with the annual Corn Boil, Bonfire and Concert. The party turns to business on track for teams on Saturday, Sept. 5 with the Sportsman 100 taking center stage. Touring divisions will play support on Saturday evening with the return of the Passione Flooring & Interiors East Coast Mini Stock Tour, Maritime League of Legends Tour and Bandolero divisions. Sunday, Sept. 6 will be headlined by one of the Maritime crown jewels, the 20th Annual Pro Stock 250, along with racing action in the Sharp Shooters, Street Stocks, Bandoleros and Atlantic Modified Tour.

Speaking of the Atlantic Modified Tour, they will make an additional stop at Speedway 660 this season. The Tour will anchor the show on their first stop to Speedway 660 on Saturday, June 20.

The Sharp Shooter division will have extended distance races early in the season to get the fluids flowing. The fastest growing division at Speedway 660 will thrill fans for 50-laps on Saturday, June 13 and hit the track for the Second Annual Gunslinger 50 on Saturday, July 4. In addition to the DMR Auto presents the Ricky Bobby 150, the Street Stocks will run an extended distance 75-lap feature on Saturday, Aug. 8. The week after will see the Best of the Best Pro Stock 150 take to the track on Saturday, Aug. 15. The Late Model Sportsman will be in the spotlight on Saturday, June 27 for a 100-lap main event.
