It's Official, Ed Kennedy announced tonight that Plymouth Speedway will be racing Saturday nights on dirt in 2013!!!

Weekly classes are still being determined... It doesn't sound like it'll be a weekly sprint track, but they will be frequent visitors. The track will be bigger, but probably not all the way out to the wall, a smaller track will remain for mini sprints.

I went to their Nitro Cross event also. They ran a great show and the Nitro Crew went above and beyond. Pastrana and his friends took every pic asked and signed autographs without a single complaint. Thanks to the track personnel and Nitro Crew! They not only took pics but they engaged in conversation with anyone around. As soon as Jaycob and I walked into the preparty Friday night, Pastrana walked right up to us shook our hands and introduced himself. I didnt know what to say for a second I was taken off guard by him being so personable.

Big THANK YOU to all involved it was an amazing experience even in 30 degree weather!

Should be interesting what divisions they decide to run weekly next year. I talk to a guy at the track last weekend and it seems to me about 5 weekly divisions plus a bunch of different specials. Heard UMP Modifieds & 600 Mini Sprints and 3 other divisions.

Hope it works out. Sick of Shadyhill and them screwing us and other drivers. Under cautions they can't even get the line-up right for restarts. Drivers, crews, & car owners are sick of being treated like crap. < don't mean to bash but that's how it is. I know a lot of driver that won't race there just because of the way they do things and treat people.

GOOD LUCK TO PLYMOUTH AND TRACK STAFF. CAN'T WAIT FOR 2013 TO COME AND SEE WHAT THE TRACK SCHEDULE HAS IN STORE FOR THE SEASON.

From Plymouth Speedway FB:


Plymouth Speedway - 2013 Dirt Racing on Saturday Nights!
Weekly classes thus far:
1. Modified - UMP rules
2. 600 minisprints - rules TBD


We are working on at least one other weekly class, possibly two. We will run specials that will likely include LM and Sprints (wing and nonwing) among others. We will surprise everyone once we have most of this laid out for 2013.

We appreciate all the suggestions provided to us both publicly and privately and we are very eager to have classes and rules in place by end of this month.

However, some miscommunication has occurred and just to clarify. We have NOT decided that the track will be 3/8mi (meaning running dirt up to the current walls). We have decided we will have a smaller track in the infield for minisprints and a larger track (1/4 to 3/8). The big track will be designed to provide wide racing surface as well as several grooves of racing. Competitive racing is our goal.

So, sit tight, be patient as we start posting specifics on FB and our website over the next few weeks.

Thank You all for your interest in Plymouth Speedway!

Sprint fanatic. While on 30, you can either get off at 31 South or 17 South (which is Michigan Ave. where McDonalds, BK, etc are located).
From 31 South, turn right onto Michigan Ave. go about 1/4 mile, turn left onto 12th Rd. Can't miss the track.

From 17/Michigan Ave. Take South through downtown Plymouth. Go about 3 miles outside of town and turn right onto that same 12th Rd.

Can't help but notice that you say "Modified - UMP Rules"

To me, this says you will follow UMP rules, but will not be UMP sanction. Hopefully I'm wrong.
