Weedsport Speedway Returns to National Television for Super DIRTcar Series Special on CBS Sports Network

WEEDSPORT, NY (November 19, 2020) – Weedsport Speedway is set to return to national television on Sunday, December 6, as the Super DIRTcar Series OktoberFAST Finale will air on CBS Sports Network.

The network will broadcast World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car and World of Outlaws Morton Building Late Model events, alongside the Weedsport Speedway Super DIRTcar Series OktoberFAST Finale, every Sunday at 7 pm (ET) until the end of the year.

“While it has been a tough year in regards to the pandemic and not being able to put on a true season at Weedsport, we are excited to partner with the World Racing Group and CBS Sports Network to bring Weedsport Speedway into homes across the country on December 6,” said Weedsport Speedway promoter, Jimmy Phelps.  “The racing from the OktoberFAST Finale was exceptional and we hope everyone enjoys the broadcast as we look forward to 2021.”
