12/15/2017
Lancaster, NY
|
While race teams, fans and partners are looking for the perfect gift to give their loved ones this holiday season, Lancaster National Speedway & Dragway is giving their own gift to its racing family.
The 2018 Franco's Pizza Friday Night IHRA Drag Racing and X-Press Signs Stock Car Series track schedules have finally come together and are ready for release.
Lancaster National Speedway & Dragway will begin its 59th consecutive season of operation on Saturday, April 21 at 2 p.m. featuring the annual Queen City Clash for the Stock Cars. The Dragway season opener is Friday, April 27 with tech inspection and time trials.
In 2017, the ISMA Supermodifieds, Niagara Swap Meet and Car Show and Monster Trucks were the big additions to the schedule. For the upcoming season, fans and race teams can count on all of them taking place again plus traditional shows, such as, four Race of Champions Modified races, the Nitro Night of Fire, Street Outlaws and the 30th Anniversary for the U.S. Open. There are still some minor additions looking to be added once the final plans and negotiations are completed.
'Putting out the schedule now gives race teams the information they need to obtain partners for 2018,' said Tim Packman, Track President. 'It also allows our fans in the stands to make their plans for the upcoming season. We have been building upon what was started in 2015 and plan on moving forward and upward next year, as well.'
'In putting on the larger shows last year, we learned a lot of things we can improve on for this year. We're going to try some different things with our advertising to get even more people to come to our track to enjoy the fun.'
In addition to the regular Stock Car divisions of Sportsman, Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders; Lancaster will have four visits each from the Race of Champions Modifieds, Late Models and Super Stocks. The NYPA TQ Midgets are racing at Lancaster five times in 2018.
The 2018 season at Lancaster National Speedway will culminate the weekend of September 21-23 with the 30th running of its signature stock car event, the U.S. Open. Since it was started in 1989, the U.S. Open has become a prestigious event for racers in the region and the biggest party of the year for race fans.
The Dragway will have the Top, Mod, Street and Bikes/Sleds Classes competing on a regular basis. Lancaster's weekly drag racers will once again earn IHRA points and be eligible to qualify for the Summit Team Finals in September. Drivers that earn a spot for the Summit Team Finals can also compete for the $200,000 IHRA World Championship during the IHRA World Finals at Memphis, Tennessee in October.
There will be five visits by the Buffalo Street Outlaws with some TNT Hot Rods, Supercharged Bounty Hunters, Jet Funny Cars, Top Fuel and Alcohol Burning Funny car events, as well.
Test n Tune will be back on Tuesday nights, including Jr. Dragsters, starting May 15. The popular Wednesday Cruise Nights will take place starting May 2 through mid September. Cruise Night will have the same rules and policies in effect as 2017.
'The main thing we want to do is provide a quality show for the fans' entertainment dollar,' Packman said. 'We are not going to raise the regular back and front gate prices. We are going to have a $2 increase for an adult ticket to the three regular season RoC Modified shows'.

The drag strip will entertain fans with the 10,000-horsepower machines of the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, as the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals makes its only stop in Northern California at Sonoma Raceway, July 27-29. NHRA’s best will go head-to-head in the world’s fastest race cars with speeds over 330 mph. The weekend will feature racing in four categories, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Sonoma’s drag strip has consistently posted some of the quickest and fastest runs of the year on the NHRA circuit. Funny Car driver Robert Hight powered to a national record speed in 2017 at 339.87 mph. Additionally, J.R. Todd secured his first career Funny Car victory, making him the first African-American to win in the NHRA Funny Car category and the second driver in NHRA history to win at Sonoma Raceway in both nitro categories. The 2018 national event will also feature the return of jet dragsters following Friday night qualifying, July 27.
The NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, sets the stage for back-to-back weekends of drag racing in Sonoma, July 21-22. The NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series returns to Sonoma where nearly 450 sportsman racers will vie for top titles in their respective classes during the fourth of seven races of the series’ schedule. The weekend also features the return of the six-second door slammers of the West Coast Outlaw Pro Modified Series, as well as Team Boddie Presents Outlaw 1/8 Racing Association with its popular Big Tire/Small Tire shootout. Saturday’s on-track activity will conclude with two fire-breathing jet dragsters.
The raceway’s popular Wednesday Night Drags program enters its 30th season this year. Attracting more than 200 drivers nightly, Wednesday Night Drags is one of the most anticipated events among local racing enthusiasts. The amateur drag racing competition runs most Wednesday evenings from March 14-Nov.14 and gives anyone with a driver license and a car that passes a simple technical inspection a chance to race down the quarter-mile drag strip. The fan-favorite Top the Cops™ program, which gives teens the chance to race against law enforcement officers, who compete in full uniform in their official vehicles on the quarter-mile drag strip, will run from April through August in conjunction with Wednesday Night Drags.
Throughout 2018, the Summit ET Bracket Drag Racing Series will feature 12 races, including the popular Memorial Day weekend and Independence Day events. These events feature five classes of sportsman competition and generally attract more than 300 competitors.
