Thunder Mountain Speedway has officially joined the elite ranks of DIRTcar-sanctioned race tracks in the Northeast for 2020. The Southern New York speedway will sanction the competitive DIRTcar 358 Modified division as well as DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds.

DIRTcar Northeast Director Dean Reynolds visited Thunder Mountain officials last Sunday for their rules meeting at the Town of Lisle Fire Department conference center. Reynolds and track owners including the Spoonhower family came to the agreement, which will include support from Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels and increased promotional outreach for their weekly racing provided by DIRTcar.

“The response to these changes, moving to Hoosier and DIRTcar, has been really good so far. We have loyal racers and fans who I hope will stick with us, they are like family. They understand that the sport of racing is changing and if we don’t look toward the future we’ll be left behind,” Track Owner and Promoter Karl Spoonhower said.

Thunder Mountain Speedway will now be a part of the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship for both the 358 and Sportsman Modifieds. Hoosier puts up $11,250 for weekly 358 Modified drivers and another $4,550 for their Sportsman Modified counterparts every year.

All DIRTcar members at DIRTcar-sanctioned tracks have their top 16 finishes calculated for the standings. DIRTcar Northeast and Thunder Mountain management are currently looking at dates for Series races.
