When in Oswego on a Saturday night, this is the place to be...great racing...good food choices..Legendary race track...I have been coming here when I visit Oswego for over 40 years...Fun time for all racing fans.!!
Theyve resurfaced the track twice in the past 2 years! ...Then the clay gets taken up in the middle of October and the track gets ruined again when it goes back to asphalt 🤣Jkjk,. The Oswego Speedway is a legendary half mile asphalt track located on the SE corner of lake Ontario. It is The Home of The Supermodifieds and is also known as The Steel Palace.It runs a regular program of Big Block and Small Block Super modifieds on Saturday nights spring through summer and into autumn.The track is the home of the 200-lap, Budweiser Classic every Labor day weekend as well as Race Of Champions (a modified touring series event). Oswego Speedway also hosts the annual King of Wings event for winged supermodifieds.Through out the race season Oswego Speedway hosts special events as the facility is visited by ISMA and MSA (winged supermodifieds) as well as DART Asphalt Modified Tour cars, Buckeye Super (winged asphalt) Sprint Cars.Since 2016, The Steel Palace gets covered with about 7000 cubic feet of clay and becomes The Clay Palace for DIRTcars NAPA Auto Parts Super Dirt Week that takes place every October.
It was sad to have to watch such a popular race as this on track that that was so bad, holes in the track and so dusty you couldnt hardly watch the race. Come on Oswego Ive been there for this event before, what ever they did to this track shouldnt ever be done again
Cool place to race! Track was far from what it could be surface wise, but mother nature played the biggest role in that. Hats off to track prep for a valliant effort.
Well Maintained Asphalt track, the food looked,and smelled very good, Tiki bar nice touch with t.v. monitor to watch the race with tables to enjoy the experience under the Grandstand
Awesome racing. Great car count. The best of the best around. Way too many golf carts and 4 wheelers.
Great place for families children great for everyone!!
Its a great place to watch racing. The super modifieds put on an amazing show. I highly suggest ear plugs if you are going, especially if you are sitting on the front stretch. If youre hungry, I recommend Skips Fish Fry. Its too notch food for any race track.
My first speedway experience. Food was decently priced. The tickets were a $5 weekend special for the 18th (yesterday) so definitely a great price for my first stock car race. Cars were fast and loud, loved it! Watch turn 4 though, they love making moves there and 3 of them ended up in the foam wall. Great time!!! I definitely recommend this place! Oh and free parking too!
Went to a food drive at the soeedway to pick up food for a family without a car or means to get food. The people there were great and so helpful and everything was so quick. The friend was able to get enough food from those boxes to feed her family of 4 kids and herself for at least a month.
Been since 2019 the last I was at the Classic 2021 looks to another great race. Always a great time
Weather and mud sucked but thats not the tracks fault. However be expected to walk up and down the giant hill there youll burn those greasy calories lol. The stands are old iron clad bring blankets or seat cushions the track design itself is good lots of good racing. Was here for dirt weekend had a lot of fun watching and the people who were working the track stuff its self (checking bracelets at grandstands or the food counters underneath the grandstand) were friendly enough no one gave me a hard time or was a dink about being there or getting snippy with people. Good experience just know what youre in for and youll enjoy yourself.
Best Racing in the Northeast The Steel Palace. You have not lived until you seen super high horsepower Super Modified in action!
The speedway is amazing there is crashes, fights wit the racers, its really cool. There is teens, adults, and little kids racing here. So come down every saturday! $5 a person!
Great Track, had an amazing time watching the Modifieds make their return!
Love to watch races but the concession stand on the pits is the pits! Hamburgers not cooked enough, French fries dried out and hard to chew. No gator ade or Powerade. Was told to bring my own. Last year food was a lot better!
It was great to see the Stands full. And the new 350 class was exciting to watch, cant wait to see more of them at the track
Oswego Speedway is kind of like a super cool car club and everyones invited with open arms. I go here every weekend, mostly because my significant others father owns a big block supermodified and his uncle drives it, The Sharkeys and his cousins the Danzers and Hawksbys are there racing/running as well. He has an amazing racing family..Its in their blood. I love them💜 My friend Dalton races the small block cars so we always say heyy to him and his dad after the race. The owner John is a nice, softspoken yet down to earth guy who he listens to all the racers and any concerns they may have. All around Great people who love the lifestyle!! The cool part about the speedway is everyone knows someone so its like a big family, I cant tell you how many foodstuffs, smiles and laughs weve passed around once we enter the pits after the race. And fyi to anyone who didnt know, YOU CAN GO IN THE PITS AND SOCIALIZE AFTER THE RACE! come see the cars! Youll get autographs, make friends, and random people will offer you food Lol. As the s/o of a pit crew guy I could be in the trailer or watch in the pits with my son, but generally I sit in the stands during the race because Unless youre running personally I think its harder to see things down in the pits as the cars wooosh past you so swiftly. However you can do both, some people buy a pit pass and you can go from the stands to the pits and vice versa. (Granted theres no cars running...or youll be squished.) The red section of the stands is non-smoking so its a safe environment for little lungs. They sell noise reducing headphones down in a booth where the food is for 10$ (The booth to the right of the popcorn booth) Protect their little ears! Theres excellent food, Dinos has great stuff, My lovely friend Cheryl and her husband run it and their daughters all work there as well, support small family businesses💜 My son and I freaking love it there! I love the people, the grub, the excitement of the races, the whole shabang. We go every weekend since the season started and well continue to support the steel palace in all its metal glory forever💜
Super dirt week was awesome, with some great racing at the end
Always a great place to go! Love some local racing action
Ive been to over 50 Winston Cup (NASCAR) races all over the Country, love Dirt track racing, watched just about every kind of racing on 4 wheels. But Brother- when those SUPERS enter Turn 4 at Oswego and put The Hammer down heading for the green flag ? INCREDIBLE!!!!For me ? Nothing else like it!
It was awesome great time a little dusty but you got to love it
Ive been going to dirt tracks allover the northeast for 40 years. I now have seen the worst race ever. Dirt 200, my second worst was the one and only time in Syracuse. This place should be called The Steel Scrap Pile.
Awesome Racing, The field of Cars I would like to see a little Larger. 45 lap Race was nice to see. 35 lap race for the Small blocks was very competitive. Overall Fun experiance at the Steel Palace.
270 miles away but lots of fun. Cant wait until October dirt track!!!
Great place if you are a racing fan a little high on prices to get in to watch but the drivers put on one hell of a show each and every week low car counts for the companion classes but with the cars that are there in the super modified class you have at least 12 cars that could win on any given night food prices are about the same as any other track they are handicapped accessible
Parking is free and easy enough.The food is expensive & so are the drinks. I had a fish sandwich and fries(greasy).My friend was sick from the tarter sauce,which sat out & probably wasnt refrigerated.Beware of the tarter sauce!
A great experience, except the washroom facilities are very run down.Recommend the pit pass. A little more money for a really nice experience. They accept Canadian money at par (with id) for tickets.
Track covered with the clay is pretty fast! Not nearly enough facilities on property and the concessions were marginal. But the racing was great
Very fun, amazing place to go for a family night of racing.
Had a great time at Dirt Week
Would be nice for warnings about fireworks. PTSD doesn’t mix very well with those when the person is woken up out of a deep sleep! Also those who work overnights and get disturbed as well. Maybe a better notice should be given for those who live by to hear it. Thankfully dirt week is the last week 🙌🏼🙌🏼Please have more respect of those around you who may have PTSD! It’s common courtesy wether you know or not when it comes to fireworks!
Super excited about next week at super dirt week it’s not the moody mile and surly do miss racing there but last years race from Oswego was spectacular from a much improved track from the year before that 👍
Have been going here since it was first built. Many changes thru the years. Great place for races and great people. Food was great.
This place should be ashamed of themselves, the Serfass on the race track Is horrible and the worst race I’ve ever been to and I’ve been coming to super DIRT week for 30 years!!
The city and speedway during SDW were nothing short of amazing!
Oswego Speedway brings in the best of the nostalgia, history and current racing 🏎 in the area.....
The addition of super dirt week was the best thing ever. Great atmosphere great food for a racetrack. Cant wait for dirt week this year.
The best short track racing in the country and the food sucks
Speedway has campsites for anyone vacationing, its not just for racing fans. Very inexpensive. Fun time at the races
Great track, super modified cars were great. Food was good and everything was reasonably priced. Highly recommend this track.
Theres nothing like it. Awesome racing. There are race cars and then there are supermodifieds.
I had alot of fun being there for super dirt week meet alot of nice people.would like to go again you dont want to miss the action.
One of my VERY favorite speedways! I always enjoy my visits to Oswego!
Great food great time loved it go with my family all the time
Favorite track to go to of all time! Well run, super good racing and the super modifies!! What could be better? Just wish I lived closer
Fun local place to go for race car entertainment. I really dont get into racing and still had a good time. Bring ear protection!
Great races . Been going there for over 50 years . My only wish is that they had more consideration of their fans
Absolutely the best short-track racing you will find anywhere on the planet !!!!! Cold beer, the best hot dogs !!
Had a blast at super dirt week!!!!
Loved everything but I cant drink what they have and I have a Drs note on drinking special water but no problems they let me bring it in
Great racing at the fastest 5/8 track
Awesome race track , love it when they turn it into the clay track for super dirt week!
Best place to go for excellent racing. Great competition and a well run show.
Always a blast when the races come to town and the staff ranging from security to concessions is small town friendly and helpful.
They race Super Modifieds, what more do you need to know. AWESOME. And NASCAR Modifieds, plus SUPER DIRT WEEK. Legendary race track
I have been going to this track forever and it has great food, great staff, and the best quality racing in oswego

Nice track , not enough handicap parking ,canopy over grandstands nice in case of rain
Great race track. I gotta get up there again. Super modifieds are wicked.
Great racing. Good family experience. Would recommend to anyone.
Needs to spend some money reparing the bleachers, someones leg fell through when i went and theres holes where its happened before, otherwise it was fun
Great time always. Good racing experience.
If you love fast cars racing this is the perfect place for $15 bucks!!
Definately on my bucket list to drive there for the Rusty Wallace racing experience

As the races are held on Saturday nights, it only makes sense that its open on Saturdays. Just saying.
Camping could be on more level ground but a good time
Racing was great, concession not so great, food was very disappointing.

2022-05-30I contacted to do advertising for my small local business. I did receive one email back but after I asked about the lower priced advertising options I never heard back. I emailed again to check back in and still no response. I would have thought every advertiser helps and would be appreciated no matter the size, but I guess not. :-(

2022-06-19Absolutely love it! My niece is a driver so Im there whenever she races. I highly recommend you make an evening out and go there

2018-07-18Good time on a Saturday night. Brought my kids and they got in free. It was a quick night of 3 heats for the two divisions, and then a fast feature race for each. Small block races were all fairly boring with minimal passing. Overall a good time for the price.

2019-08-18Awesome facility. Supermodifieds put on a spectacular show. 350 supers are a great class that is sure to grow next year. SBS were fun to watch too. Great food options too!

2021-10-11Kong an I say it was freaking awesome, WE were security there and we absolutely had A-blast and I finally met Mr. White for the 1st time. He was driving by and his red truck and I stopped him and asked him what he was doing , his response was just wanna go home.. I would like to say thank you Oswego Speedway for allowing me to be part of the team. Cant wait until next year. Thank you Chuck, thank you Shane, an thank you Charlie love you guys..

2021-08-01It has been many years since the last time I have been to the track.The cars have gotten faster and sleeker. Nothing in live ever stay the same as what you experience when you are younger it was exciting a couple of close battles wheel to wheel racing I guess I expected more side by side racing. Again I grew up going in 60,70,80&90s things change the Torrese are doing a great job with the track in keeping it going,keep up the good work

2021-10-16Super Dirt Week is the best weekend of racing! Fun for the whole family.The two bad things for me was no outhouse in the tent section and the track was in horrible condition.
