NASCAR and Jukasa Motor Speedway announced the season finale for the NASCAR Pinty’s Series will take place Sept. 23 at the Ontario, Canada track.
Due to management changes at the original season finale venue Kawartha Downs, NASCAR and Kawartha have agreed to mutually terminate the sanction for the event originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 16.
Jukasa, formerly known as Cayuga Speedway, was open from 1966-2009. The .625-mile paved oval held the inaugural NASCAR Pinty’s Series race in May of 2007. It held two races in each of the series’ first two years before it closed eight years ago.
The track was purchased in 2016 by Kenny Hill and Jerry Montour and repaving began in late 2016.
“When NASCAR approached us with the possibility of being added to the schedule, we jumped at the opportunity. A lot of hard work has gone into returning this track to its glory, and the season finale is a perfect stage for us,” said Jukasa General Manager Alex Nagy.
The track now features banking up to 8.5 degrees with slight banking on the previously flat straightaways. The racing surface has also been expanded to 60 feet. The track sits on more than 350 acres and boasts 1100 campsites.
