Increased car counts, exciting schedule on tap for Airborne in 2023

PLATTSBURGH | The 2023 racing season will feature an action-packed schedule and increased car counts at Airborne Speedway. The premier event on the schedule for the upcoming season will be the return of the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds on Wednesday, June 14. Nine-time SDS Champion Matt Sheppard will highlight the star-studded field in the 75-lap feature event presented by Adirondack Auto. Another event to circle on the calendar will be the Big Block/Small Block Modified Shootout on Saturday, Aug. 5. Last season's event was successful, and track management is looking to build from that. Airborne will be working closely with Lebanon Valley Speedway to get some of their weekly competitors to attend the event while they have a weekend off. The Be Cool Heating and Air Conditioning DIRTcar 358-Modified division will return in a part-time fashion and will compete for a track championship. Several drivers and teams have reached out to speedway management about the return of the division, and the familiar Airborne 358-Modified locals will be competing along with a good mix of outsiders from north of the border. The Fourth of July celebration returns this season and will take place on Saturday, July 1. An exciting fireworks display will highlight an evening filled with action-packed short-track racing. The Hartson Total Opening Renegade division has seen the largest increase in car count based on the drivers who have contacted the speedway to announce their commitment for this season. Over 20 cars are expected on a weekly basis, which will add to the strength and parody in the division. The J & S Steel Sportsman division will return and be just as strong as it was a season ago. The season opens with a 40-lap, $1,500-to-win DIRTcar Sportsman Series event which will feature the Airborne weekly competitions against some of the top Sportsman drivers in the Northeast. The Taylor Rental Street Stocks increased their weekly car count to 20 by the end of last season and expect that number to be a bit higher this year. Additionally, the Northern Blacktopping Limited Sportsman division will return for rookie and novice Sportsman competitors. The season opener is scheduled for Saturday, April 29, presented by Liquor & Wine Warehouse. For more information or to view the full schedule, visit airborne-speedway.com.
