Bear Ridge Speedway
Bear Ridge Speedway is gearing up for their 51st year of consecutive racing. The Ridge continues to be the best source of great inexpensive high-quality entertainment for families. What makes the entertainment? Some of the best drivers in New England, fierce competition, and the return of drivers who know “there’s no place like home”
The DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds will see some returning faces in 2018 who have raced the Ridge. We understand that sometimes family commitments need to take precedence, and some drivers want to try their luck at the tracks on the other side of the mountain. We are always proud to watch them as they spread their wings, and at the end of the day, it is good to know when they can and are ready they will come home. Tim Tucker driver of the 91 hails from northern VT and will be returning to full time competition in 2018, will he be setting his sites on a top five points standing finish, or even a championship? Kevin Chaffee local hot shoe driving the 73 having raced the King of Dirt Series last season, will be returning to the Ridge to try to earn his first coveted track championship in the Mods. With some stiff competition this feat will not be easy for any of the drivers and is sure to offer some edge of your seat entertainment for the fans.
