Championship. The ARC Pro Stocks, Late Models, Seekonk Sport Trucks and

On Saturday, July 25, Seekonk Speedway will host our annual Scout night.
This allows all scouts to come to the speedway and enjoy the action. We ask
that the scouts do wear their uniforms for recognition. The night will also
be our annual Fans on Parade. This gets the fans out of their seats and a
chance to show everyone who their favorite driver is. Wearing their drivers'
colors, signs, posters, costumes and more make this one of the most
enjoyable nights for the fans and officials. The ARC Pro Stocks, Late
Models, Seekonk Sport Trucks and Street Stocks will also be part of the
program.
In addition to this, the Fast Friday series returns on July 10th with the
NEMA Lites part of the program. The Pure Stocks, Seekonk Youth Racing
Association and the Sport4's will be in action on the 1/3 mile. There is
also Kart racing in the pit area for more action.
