Outlaw Speedway Gets a New Dirt Surface
Dundee, NY- It has been over 10 years since Outlaw Speedway located in Yates County, New York has seen fresh clay. Track promoter and owner Tyler Siri purchased the 4/10 mile oval in 2016 and decided it’s time for a new dirt surface. Siri spent $70,000 to bring 308 truckloads of New York State Approved, rock free clay in to cover the track. The amount of new clay added to the track was so much that the Outlaw Team will have to address the front stretch wall due to the shortened height of the concrete barrier. The new clay also added more banking in both corners. Siri also expanded the camping and parking areas and resided the buildings and historic covered grandstands, with new graphics.
