The 2010 schedule is coming together at Seekonk Speedway.

 

While all seems quiet in the Southeast corner of Massachusetts, management has been busy putting the schedule for the 65^th season of competition at the country’s oldest continuous family run speedway. While the full schedule is not complete, the touring divisions visiting The Action Track of the East have been finalized.

The Modified Racing Series have put three events on the calendar for 2010. They will compete on Saturday June 12, Saturday, August 21, and DAV Fall Classic Weekend on October 9 & 10. With three different winners in 2009, two of them becoming first timers at Seekonk, the open wheeled ground-pounders will continue to put on some of the best racing around. All events will be 100 green-flag laps in distance.

The 6^th Annual Open Wheel Wednesday Modified Madness date has also been set. This non-sanctioned event, putting $10,000 up for grabs, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 21. Will this be the year that we finally get a repeat winner, or will the winners list grow by one more?
