Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.

(Dundee, NY) One of the biggest nights of the 2026 season at Outlaw Speedway is just around the corner as track owner/promoter, Tyler Siri, will swing the gates for the first night of racing in the month of July with an event that is a must see.

“Each season we try and put more and more emphasis on our traditional Fireworks Show, stated Siri who is now in his eleventh season as the owner/promoter of the popular Yates County Facility.  This year’s event will be a $25,000 Fireworks Extravaganza and it is something everyone will not want to miss even if they are not a huge fan of racing.”

This year’s event is set for Friday, July 3, 2026, and ties in perfectly with the Independence Day Weekend and this year’s Fireworks program has even more significance as it marks the 250th Anniversary of our country.

“Last year’s event was so well attended that we not only filled the stands to capacity, but we had to send the overflow crowd into the pit area.  No one was turned away and this year’s show could be even better.  Many of those in attendance were here for the racing, many were here for the Fireworks, but most were here for both as it is a tremendous program.  Something for everyone!”

On track it will be a Regular Fast 5* Show featuring all of Outlaw Speedway’s weekly divisions including the Friendly, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modifieds along with the Knapp and Schlappi Lumber 602 Crate Sportsman.

They will be joined by the Swarthout Recycling Street Stocks, the Addison, Corning, Hornell, Wellsville NAPA Auto Parts Stores Hobby Stocks as well as the MR Grafix 4 Cylinder Mini Stocks.

Pits open at 5:00 pm with the Main Grandstand Seating Area opening at 5:30. Hot laps crank up at 6:45 with the first green of the night waving at 7:30.

For additional information leading up to the July 3, 2026, Fireworks Extravaganza go to www.Facebook.com/OutlawSpeedwayLLC/.  

Fans are encouraged to try and arrive early as quality parking and seating will be at a premium.

All food and beverage concessions will be open when the gates swing featuring a great mixture of delicious racetrack food along with a pair of beer concession stands.

The Turn 4 Tavern is in the Grandstand Seating Area with the Outlaw Saloon located in the Pits with both offering a wide selection of iced cold beer.  

With Outlaw now entering the month of July it means the point battles in all five weekly classes are at the halfway mark with more attention now focused on which drivers are in contention for their respective class championships leading up to the Double Point event on Friday, August 28, 2026.

In addition to the Fireworks Extravaganza there are also several other huge nights coming up in July with a trio of traditional events including Short Track Super Series/Dave Machuga Memorial, Christmas in July Bicycle Give-Away including a visit from Santa as well as the 11th Annual Summer Nationals with two classes of Sprint Cars.

Continuing to celebrate 69 years of great dirt track racing action, the Outlaw Speedway is located just south of Dundee, NY on Rt. 14a right in the middle of the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York.  

A short drive from Canandaigua, Geneva, Penn Yan, Seneca Falls, Waterloo, Watkins Glen, Corning, Elmira, Bath and Hammondsport.
