WELCOME
Dear Race Fans and Competitors,
Welcome to a new era of Super DIRT Week.
The 50th Running of Super DIRT Week was an exceptional and special week, made possible by you, helping to drive us full throttle into Super DIRT Week 51.
I can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for ‘Racing’s Biggest Party’ this year.
With the help of Oswego Speedway’s staff, the iconic Steel Palace will once again be converted into the Clay Palace to bring you one of the most iconic motorsports events this year.
We have to thank Governor Kathy Hochul and the State of New York for their continued support of Super DIRT Week and our commitment to providing the best racing possible in New York.
The legacy of Super DIRT Week is unmatched in dirt motorsports nationwide. Champions, veterans, rookies, and icons will join us again to bring the Northeast a racing party like no other.
Enclosed here, you’ll find the ultimate Fan and Competitor’s Guide to what has become the ultimate week of DIRTcar racing. It contains everything you’ll need to know about what is going on during this exciting week of racing.
Continuing to make sure we grow the party every year, there will be a Super DIRT Week Kickoff Party Sunday, Oct. 1 at Lighthouse Lanes, which will include bowling, food, drink specials and music deep into the night. Then on Monday, Oct. 2, we’ll once again host a Charity Golf Tournament at Radisson Greens Golf Club with all proceeds from the tournament will be split between the American Cancer Society in honor of our friend, Don Davies, and Suicide Prevention and Awareness.
Throughout the week there will also be an abundance of fan activities, music and fireworks, along with the best drivers in the Northeast putting on thrilling shows in each division. We’ll wrap the historic week up by crowning the 51st Billy Whittaker Cars 200 champion on Sunday, Oct. 8 – a moment you won’t want to miss.
From all of us at DIRTcar, we are grateful for your continued support and are proud to have you as part of our racing family. We look forward to another great week of racing. Thank you for helping us make Super DIRT Week Racing’s Biggest Party.
Sincerely,
Brian Carter

Lapped cars will drop to the inside under caution and rejoin the field beginning after the last car on the lead lap in their order of running on the race track at the time of the caution. You may not lose a lap under the caution during this event.
- All restarts will be double file exiting turn four in the area of the VP Racing Fuels ‘Making Power Point’ (Blue VP Racing Fuel Barrels). However, IF CONTACT occurs during a double-file restart, the ensuing restart shall be single file. Subsequent restarts revert back to double file. DIRTcar officials reserve the right to change and/or alter this rule, provided the competitors are given notice (in advance and/or via the driver’s one-way radio) due to circumstances that require such a change and/or alteration.
- There will be one (1) car eligible for the ‘EZ Pass Reward’ on each caution. The only car eligible will be the first one (1) lap down. The EZ Pass car will be signaled over the one-way radio to pull up behind the pace car but must not proceed past the pace car until instructed to do so on the one-way radio.
- If at any time the red flag is displayed and competitors are signaled to stop due to a red flag condition, cars must come to a complete stop. After the field is stopped and is under control of the pace car, DIRTcar officials will instruct any vehicle not involved in the red flag incident that needs to pit to pull up to the pace car prior to being released to the pit area on the one-way radio. Any car that pits during the red flag period will be required to restart at the tail of the field in their respective position. If any car heads to the pits without following the instructions over the one-way radio, a 1-lap penalty may be issued.
- The race may extend past the advertised 150-lap distance and could end with a green-white-checker finish. There may be multiple attempts at a green-white-checker finish.
- Cars breaking under green flag conditions may exit the race track at any pit entrance / exit. If leaving the track on the pit exit road on the backstretch, please use caution.
- Cars with flat tires or an emergency situation may enter the pits even if the pits are closed but must restart at the tail end of the field. Cars entering the pits for service will be addressed on the one-way radio.
- Two pace vehicles will be utilized throughout the event. The second pace vehicle will be used to control pit road speed and will only enter the racing surface once the field is under control, running next to the primary pace vehicle. When the pits are open the pit road pace vehicle will come down pit road at 25 mph. If you pit you must maintain the pace vehicle speed. Passing either pace vehicle at any time without instruction over the one-way radio may result in a one (1) lap penalty.
- The pits will be called open over the one-way radio, and an official in turn four will open the pits with a green flag.
- Once the pits are open, only lead lap cars will be permitted to pit the first time the field reaches pit road. On the next lap, the pits will be open for the remainder of the field. If any car ‘pits too soon’ the penalty will be to restart at the tail end of the field. All cars returning to the track to rejoin the field must do so at the rear of the field. There will be a stop and go flagman to signal re-entry to the racing surface. Cars attempting to blend into the field and/or passing by the stop and go flagman may be assessed a penalty. At times throughout the event, a “QUICKIE” caution may be called over the one- way radio, which signifies that all cars, lead lap and/or down cars may pit at the same time.
- The top six (6) qualifiers from Time Trials will be allowed to pick their pit stalls. The remainder of the field will receive assigned pit stalls.
- “Pulling up to pit” will not be permitted. When your vehicle reaches the entry of pit road, you may pull down and enter pit road. “Pulling up to pit” may result in a one (1) lap penalty. When exiting the pits there will be a ‘Stop and Go’ official. If you exit pit road while being signaled to stop you may be issued a one (1) lap penalty.
- It is mandatory to have the following decals on the car (DIRTcar, Super DIRTcar Series, VP Racing Fuels and Hoosier) and the driver must have a VP patch on his uniform.
- To be eligible for other available contingencies you must run the decals. Included is a guided map for two available options to place decals on your vehicle.
- Immediately following the conclusion of the event, the first-place car needs to go to the scale first, followed by second and third to the scales and to Victory Lane. Additional vehicles and/or competitors may be signaled to inspection over the one-way radio following the conclusion.
- DIRTcar officials reserve the right to alter the rules of this and/or any event, provided the competitors are given notice (in advance and/or over the one-way radio) due to any circumstance that require such a change or alteration.
- NOTE: It is recommended that all teams have a sign posted approximately ten (10) feet in the air in front of the assigned pit areas displaying their car number and color scheme. The sign should be legible for officials to facilitate the delivery of messages from race control.
2023 DIRTcar 358 Modified Special Event (events that require Pit Stops):
- All crew members going over the wall must be equipped with helmets with at least chin straps.
- Dry break/quick fill re-fueling systems will not be allowed.
- Car(s) may not be pushed past the flagman located at the end/exit of pit road.
- Once a race has taken the original green flag and laps have started counting, cars may be started by hand pushing in the pit area and/or on pit road only. Push trucks may be available and will be signaled by race control for a mechanical push start if required. In events that utilize a pit road for servicing the car with a pit crew, push trucks will not be permitted to push start and/or push cars off of pit road and back into competition, unless directed to do so by the Race Director.
- Cars may only enter pit road for pit stops from the defined pit road entrance. Cars must travel on pit road in a counter-clockwise direction only.
- When multiple cars are pitting and enter pit road, they must enter in single file. Passing on pit road will not be permitted. Cars must stay in the center of pit lane before entering the required pit stall and must maintain ‘pit road speed’ as designated by the pace car on pace laps. Exceeding the pit road speed and/or passing on pit road may result in a penalty at the discretion of DIRTcar officials. ‘Pit road speed’ will be in effect for entering and exiting the pit road.
- All pit stop service must be completed in the assigned pit stall.
- Only five (5) pit crew members will be permitted over the wall to service the vehicle at any time. The use of any additional crew members may result in a penalty. All crew members going over the wall must be equipped with helmets.
- In events where pit stops may be required, pit road will remain closed until the pace vehicle has control of the field. If a car enters pit road prior to pit road being ‘opened’ the minimum penalty will be that car being placed to the tail end of the field and the maximum penalty will be the loss of one (1) lap. Cars that have been damaged and/or require repairs and/or assistance will be permitted on pit road before it is open. However, if they are able to return to the race, they must restart at the rear of the field.
