"We wanted to put together a schedule that fans would remember the 75th anniversary season," Ed St. Germain, Director of Business Development for Seekonk Speedway, told SeekonkSpeedway.com. "In addition to our eight-action packed weekly divisions on Friday and Saturday nights, fans get tour races with PASS, ACT, Tri Track, NWMT, ISMA, NEMA and more. Bonus races and big shows are happening all summer long at the Action Track of the East, thanks to our great sponsors, fans and race teams. I would also like to thank the Venditti family for keeping short track racing alive and thriving in Southern New England!"
