Try Again: Delaware International Back in Action Oct. 21 With USAC Sprints, Mods & More

Written by Chris Moore

DELMAR, DE – Let’s try this again.

Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Del., will once again try to complete an event in a rain-marred, special-events season: this time on Saturday, Oct. 21.

The Oct. 21 event serves as a make-up for the postponed Sept. 22 show, featuring an invasion from the Rapid Tire Services USAC East Coast wingless 360 Sprint Cars.

Allentown, Pa.’s Briggs Danner was victorious in the last visit by the USAC East Coast Sprints, coming from the seventh starting position to claim the win.

The Sussex County half-mile oval has laid dormant since that June 30 event, with three consecutive racing programs nixed by Mother Nature.

The USAC East Coast Sprint Cars will be joined in a co-headline event by Millman’s NAPA Modifieds, racing for a $3,000 top prize.

Georgetown, Del.’s Carson Wright visited Victory Lane for the first time in his career, while Milford, Del.’s Jordan Watson leads Millman’s NAPA Modified standings by 28 points into the month of October.

Also on the racing card will be the Blue Hen Dispose-All Crate 602 Sportsman ($1,000-to-win), RUSH Late Models ($600-to-win) and features only events for the Southern Delaware Vintage Stock Cars, Delaware Super Trucks, Little Lincolns, and Delmarva Chargers.

Oct. 21 serves as the final night of racing before the Delaware State Dirt Championship Weekend at Delaware International Speedway on November 17-18.

Gates open at 4 p.m. One ticket booth will open at 3 p.m. for early pit admission. Hot laps begin at 6 p.m., with racing at 7 p.m.

Admission is $25 (Adults), $20 for Seniors (ages 65 and up) & Students (ages 13-17). Kids (ages 9-12) pay $10 and Children 8 and under are FREE.

Pit admission is $40 (Non-Members), $35 (NASCAR Members), $10 Kids (ages 6-12) and $2 for Children (ages 5 and under).

A new office phone number exclusively for the dirt track has been set up: 302.567.8294 and e-mail delawareinternationalspeedway@gmail.com.

A new-for-2023 website is live at www.delawareinternationalspeedway.com.
