Bear Ridge Speedway is Pleased to Welcome Back All Division Sponsors for the 57th Consecutive Season of Racing
Bear Ridge Speedway “the fastest dirt track in Vermont” is putting together another year of edge-of-your-seat racing entertainment as they celebrate the 57th consecutive season at the Ridge with a banner lineup of events with the return of long-standing sponsors in 2024 C.V. “Butch” Elms with wife April May Preston-Elms continue to host the best short track dirt racing in Vermont, making this one of the few tracks in the United States that has for 57 years always been owned or operated by the same family.
For the 2024 sponsor line up “99ROCK wfrd” is back as Bear Ridge Speedway’s weekly racing series sponsor, Chris is very excited to be returning to the Ridge and looks forward to promoting the best weekly racing in the region! Along with the return of the series sponsor the following division sponsors are signing on once again: Sabil & Sons will be billed as the premier sponsor with their name waving on the DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds. Sabil & Sons has had a long relationship with the Ridge and is still proud to be the sponsor of the Old Timers race night and the beautiful lap counter.
Wells River Chevrolet will be returning as the sponsor of our other premier division featured at the Ridge, the DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes. These two divisions will once again be sanctioned by DIRTcar and are setting up to offer some great racing action for the fans. Everyone knows that the Sportsman Coupes are the exclusive signature division of the Ridge, having been born and raised here, and we are looking forward to a strong car count once again in 2024. Mark your calendars for every Saturday night starting May 4th for the best short track dirt racing in New England!!
The LaValley Building Supply gang is returning as the sponsor of the Dirt Stocks. There has been a lot of chatter during the off-season already about the car count for this division. In only its fourth year, this division is definitely proving to be one of the must-see each and every week.
Two sponsors will be returning for their second year, the Late Model division will once again be caring the banner of the High Country Dispensaries, and Woodsville Power Equipment for the Ridge Runners.
Also on hand will be our other regular divisions the Xtreme DIRTcar DMA Midgets, with a basically every other week schedule, and the Joe Mama’s Sporting Goods 4/6 Cylinder Enduro Series, competing once a month. We will also have visits from the Granite State Mini Sprints and the Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE) throughout the season.
