MILLSBORO, DE – Locked in.
All four BD Motorsports Media LLC facilities – Fonda and Utica-Rome speedways in New York, Delaware International and Georgetown speedways in Delaware – will operate under NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series sanctioning for 2023.

“We’re very proud to have each of our historic facilities integrated into NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season,” Deyo said. “The benefits for our racers, the excitement of our drivers competing on a national stage for our fans, and the support from NASCAR for our facilities is taking all four tracks to a higher level.”
Competitors in sanctioned divisions at the four facilities will now be eligible for additional point fund money via National, Regional, State and Track avenues.
