 Star Speedway kicked off their 2025 weekly Saturday night schedule this past weekend, but unfortunately, mother nature cut things short. Although all five scheduled features weren't able to be completed, the Woody’s Auto Street Stocks, Six Shooters, and Crown Vic Cruisers were able to complete their main events.
The 350 Supermodifieds did get their time trials in for the Bob Webber Sr / Jim Martel Memorial event and defending champ Jeffrey Battle Jr. captured fast times. The main event for the 350 Supermodifieds will now be held on June 10 ,in addition to the night's scheduled program, which includes the Marco Turcotte Memorial. In Woody’s Auto Street Stock competition, it was former Star Speedway Six Shooter champion J.T. Cashman who took down the opening night win. Cashman had a bit of a breakout season in the Street Stocks through the 2024 season, and looks to have his sights set on a possible run at a Street Stock championship with his early season success. Ryan Nelson also started his Star Speedway season on a strong note, taking down the win in Saturday night's feature. Nelson, who is a veteran of the division, will be a driver to watch if he can continue to build on his early season speed. Once again Andrew Harmon topped the field of Crown Vic Cruisers before the rains came Saturday night. Harmon is proving himself to be the man to beat, as he was also the Bunny Brawl winner for the division, and a former standout in the Pure Stock division as well. Star Speedway will be back in action on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 11, with a track rental event that includes the Pro All Star Series, American-Canadian Tour, PASS Modifieds and New England Supermodified Series. For information on this event, visit ProAllStarsSeries.com or ACTTour.com.  After kicking off the 2025 Star Speedway racing season last Sunday with the Bunny Brawl, weekly racing begins this Saturday with a five-division slate.
The 350 Supermodifieds will highlight the Saturday May 3rd program with the Bob Webber Sr / Jim Martel memorial 47-lap race, worth a minimum of $1,947 to win. Joining them on track will be the Woody’s Auto Street Stocks, Bumpy's Slingshots and Six Shooters, who will all be running 25-lap features, along with the Crown Vic Cruisers, who will be racing 20 laps in their main event. Saturday's racing program will begin with practice at 3:30 p.m., heat racing will start at 5 p.m., with features to follow. Pit gates are scheduled to open at 2:30 p.m. for Star Members, and 2:45 p.m. for non-members. Pit admission will be $35 for members, and $40 for non-members.
