A pair of nights in Central New York are on tap for the Super DIRTcar Series, as the calendar turns to September.
First, the Series stops at Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville, NY, on Friday, Sept. 5, for the second annual R.D. Hutchinson Memorial. Drivers will battle in a 67-lap Feature, paying $7,567-to-win.
Then, the Beasts of the Northeast make their final stop of 2025 at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, NY, for the Cavalcade 100 on Saturday, Sept. 6. A winner’s prize of $17,600 is on the line, along with a guaranteed starting spot in the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at Super DIRT Week 53.
Along with the Super DIRTcar Series, the DIRTcar Sportsman Series will be in action on both nights.
If you can’t make it to the track, you can watch all the action live on DIRTVision.
Here’s a look at what to watch for at Can-Am and Weedsport:
The Last Two Spots: Saturday’s stop at Weedsport will offer one of the final two guaranteed starting spots in this year’s Billy Whittaker Cars 200.
So far, seven drivers have locked into Super DIRT Week 53, with Stewart Friesen, Mario Clair, Mat Williamson, Matt Sheppard, Alex Yankowski, Anthony Perrego, and Kolby Schroder earning their spot at “Racing’s Biggest Party.”
Here are the remaining Super DIRT Week Qualifiers in 2025:
Weedsport Speedway (Sept. 6)
Albany-Saratoga Speedway (Sept. 20)
Closing the Door: With nine races remaining in the 2025 season, Williamson enters this weekend’s doubleheader with a 90-point lead over Yankowski.
The defending Series champion returns to two places he’s found success at this weekend and has a chance to pad his points lead before the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
Williamson is the defending winner of the R.D. Hutchinson Memorial at Can-Am. He also hasn’t finished off the podium in two starts at the track this season. The St. Catharines, ON driver finished second to Mike Mahaney in a DIRTcar 358 Modified Series stop in July and won the track’s Short Track Super Series event last month.
“Money Mat” is also a four-time winner at Weedsport but hasn’t made a trip to “Victory Hill” in three Super DIRTcar Series starts in 2025. However, he hasn’t finished off the podium, earning two seconds and a third.
It’s Go Time: While Williamson has the chance to add to his points lead, that means time is running out for Yankowski and Sheppard to close the gap before the World Finals.
Yankowski, from Covington Township, PA, has only made two starts at Can-Am in his career, finishing 19th during a Super DIRTcar Series stop in 2022 and 17th during the Short Track Super Series stop in August. “Kid Rocket’s” been better at Weedsport, though. He has two top fives and three top 10s in three starts at the 3/8-mile track this season, including a third during the SummerFAST stop last month.
Sheppard, meanwhile, has more wins than any other active Series driver at Can-Am (3) and aims to tie Steve Paine for the most Series wins at the track all-time. The Waterloo, NY, driver finished fourth in last year’s R.D. Hutchinson Memorial and hasn’t finished outside the top five in his previous three starts at the “Nasty Track of the North.”
At Weedsport, “Super Matt” is looking for redemption after a mechanical failure in the closing laps cost him a second-place finish during SummerFAST. Sheppard is an eight-time winner in Series Features at the 3/8-mile track but hasn’t won a Series event there since 2021.
Can-Am Redemption: One driver aiming for redemption on Friday at Can-Am is four-time track champion Tim Fuller. The Edwards, NY driver and 2005 Series champion, seemed destined for victory last season before spinning in Turns 3 and 4, handing the lead to Williamson.
Despite his success at Can-Am, Fuller has only one Super DIRTcar Series win at the track, earning a trip to Victory Lane in 2007. He has two wins at Can-Am this season, including one last month.
Another driver aiming for Victory Lane in front of his home-track crowd is 2025 Can-Am champion Billy Dunn. The Watertown, NY driver earned four wins at the track this season and never finished outside the top 10 in 15 starts.
Dunn is searching for his second career Super DIRTcar Series win after winning during Super DIRT Week at the New York State Fairgrounds in 2013.
Enter the Bat Cave: When the Super DIRTcar Series stopped at Weedsport last month during SummerFAST, Peter Britten made it his own “Bat Cave.” The “Batman” passed Sheppard to score his first win at the track and aims to do it again when the Series returns on Saturday.
Britten leads a six-driver battle for seventh in the Series standings, with seventh through 12th, separated by 44 points.
Out of the six drivers fighting for seventh, the Brisbane, QLD driver and Jimmy Phelps have had the most Series success at the track. Phelps is a two-time Series winner at Weedsport, earning victories in 2022 and 2010. The “Baldwinsville Bandit” is currently 10th in points, 27 points behind Britten.
Also trailing Britten are Tim Sears Jr. (eighth, five points out of seventh), Anthony Perrego (ninth, 16 points out of seventh), Felix Roy (11th, 36 points out of seventh), and Jack Lehner (12th, 44 points out of seventh).
