Airborne Park Speedway Opening Day Set for Sunday, April 13
PLATTSBURGH, Ny.-- Since 1954 racers have come from far and wide to tempt fate and chase the checkered flag in Plattsburgh. In the 70 years since that 1954 season, a boatload of history has been written page by page on the western shores of Lake Champlain. A new page will be written on Sunday.
The 2025 season opener at Airborne Park Speedway is this Sunday, April 13 at 2 PM featuring the 40-lap, $4,000-to-win Leon Gonyo Memorial for the 358 Modifieds and all other regular classes with the limited sportsman and crown vics joining in on the fun.
The sportsman will run 30 laps for a $1,500 winner's share, beginning the chase for the 2025 season championship.
In 2024, the opener was postponed until May 9 when Tim Fuller took home the top prize in the 358 modifieds and Donovan Lussier exploded onto the scene with a dominant sportsman win. Tylor Terry went 10th to 1st to win the renegade feature while Nick Harnden was the mini-stock victor in the A-main and Josh Blake won the B-feature. 108 cars were in the pit area.
For the 2025 season, racing at the Airborne Park Speedway is once again powered by New England Ford Dealers and will be streamed live on www.dirttrackdigest.tv. Rob Knowles, Marty Kelly III and special guest Keith Harrington will have the call of the action, which can also be listened to live from anywhere via the myracepass app.
Hoosier racing tires, VP 109 and D98 fuels will be available by drum and Sunoco DB98 fuel (limited sportsman and renegades) will also be available, both by drum and at the pump. Elmo's Speed and Supply will once again supply Airborne Park's racers with a complete line of parts in 2025.
The pits will open at 10 AM with the grandstands opening up at noon. Cars will hit the track for hot laps at 1:30 and racing will begin at 2 PM. General admission is $15 with kids 12 and under being admitted for free. Pit passes are $35 for Airborne Park members and $45 for non-members. To cut down on opening day gate lines, drivers and crew members are strongly encouraged to fill out their license forms and car registrations ahead of opening day and submit them to the speedway by e-mail.
