Freedom Motorsports Park is a one-third mile dirt oval raceway located in the Chautauqua-Alleghany (or the western Southern Tier) Region of New York State. The facility includes two motocross tracks and an offroad ATV course was added in 2003.[1][2]
Overview
Freedom Raceway opened in May of 1983, but only operated a few seasons before shutting down.[2] Dan Hoffman reopened the venue in 1989 and promoted the facility for nearly two decades until selling the property to sprint car driver Mike Lauterborn.[3] Lauterborn also promoted the Genesee Speedway in Batavia, New York.[4]
In 2015, the facility was purchased by modified driver Bob Reis, who rebranded it as Freedom Motorsports Park.[5] Reis appointed his son-in-law Cody Egner as General Manager in 2024.[6]
Events
The speedway hosts events periodically during the racing season and feature the Super Late Models, RUSH Late Models, Big/Small Block Modifieds, UEMS E-Mods, All Star 410 Sprint Cars, and Empire Super Sprints.[7][8]
