Bear Ridge Speedway "the fastest dirt track in Vermont" is once again proud to announce the return of the DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds VP Racing Fuels “East Region Series” to the Ridge in 2026. 2026 will mark the fourteenth year that the DIRTcar Banner has waved over Bear Ridge Speedway. We couldn’t be prouder to be a part of the organization and be given an opportunity for our drivers to be recognized on a national level and be host to an East Region series event for the Sportsman Modifieds, said Promoter Butch Elms.
The first event of the series is scheduled for April 18th at Lebanon Valley Speedway, West Lebanon NY, Airborne Speedway Plattsburgh NY will host event number two of the series on May 14th. The third date of the series will be right here at home, Bear Ridge Speedway on May 23rd and the final event at Glenridge Motor Sports Park Fultonville NY on July 5th.
Knowing that several of the Ridge drivers will be strong contenders for the overall championship of this series, these are must see events. Be sure to check the web site and our face book page for more information about this series.
The Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds put on a great show weekly at the Ridge and being able to host a series event at the hidden ¼ mile clay oval gem in the hills of Vermont is truly an honor. Several of the legends of the Ridge will be competing in the series, making the trek to the other three events.
