This Year Marks the 71th Consecutive Season of Weekly Stock Car Racing
The winning driver of the United Rentals DIRTcar Big-Block Modified feature on Opening Night of weekly racing at Orange County Fair Speedway this year will continue a tradition that first began in 1950. While automobile racing traces its Orange County roots back 101 years to 1919, weekly stock car racing---the precursors of today’s Modifieds---began on April 16, 1950 and has continued uninterrupted since that memorable date.


Though the start of the 2020 racing season at OCFS has already been affected by the COVID-19 virus with the cancellation of the Motorsports Show, teams and drivers are being named for the United Rentals Big Block Modified Roster and the speedway remains excited and busy in preparation for the upcoming season which will start as soon as the NYS ban on mass gatherings has been lifted.
