![]() 1940s (1946-1950) What has become one of the nation’s most recognized short-tracks was a vision of Anthony Venditti, and that vision quickly became a reality when the first gates opened in May of 1946. World War II was in the rear-view mirror, the economy was turning around and D. Anthony was ready to showcase his dream, taking the family Seekonk Poultry Farm land and designing the asphalt oval track. Seekonk Speedway was planned, engineered and promoted by D. Anthony. The first race took place on Memorial Day, a Thursday in late May. The track was originally built as a quarter-mile oval, with seven-foot banking in the corners and 60-foot wide turns. There might not have been a ton of grandstands, but it quickly grew into something fans from across New England would come to love. More than 12,000 people were on the property on opening day. The original design of the track was built for Open Wheel Midgets, and in the first race, it was Oscar Ridlon rolling his midget around into Victory Lane. Along with Anthony, his wife, Irene Venditti, was one of the pioneers of Seekonk Speedway. It was with her help that her husband was able to create the track that has become a fan and family favorite for many. Anthony was the youngest promoter in all of the country in the debut year, and had a family that was behind him from day one. He would pass in the early 1990s, while Irene would operate the facility until her passing years later. Now, the track is still family operated, with Francis Venditti and grandson David Alburn running the operations. It wasn’t long before the “Fastest Track in the East” became the “Action Track of the East” -- a name that still stands today. The first year of competition lasted through mid-October, with names like Joe Sostilio, Bill Randall and Bob Blair winning. However, it was Eddie Casterline who dominated the opening year, winning what is believed to be a third of the races (10) in year one. The track didn’t record an official champion, but it was clear Casterline was the top contender. The second year was marked by the loss of three competitive racers, including Casterline, who lost his life just one day after a crash at the age of 32. Casterline won the New England Midget Championship in 1946, and was one of the earliest speed demons in track history. Victories in year two were spread across multiple drivers, including names like Chet Gibbons, Sostilio, Frank Simonetti and Lloyd Christopher. It was in 1948 that the first Stock Racing was introduced at Seekonk Speedway, with the Bombers, Jalopies, and the Cut Downs, that quickly became an instant success. That first racing club was named “Interstate Racing Association”. The fans hung on to the edge of their seat enjoying this new sport. It was 1949 when the first cement walls went up and the banking was extended. A drivers strike started that year, and racing didn’t begin until June, when Bill Randall opened the season in Victory Lane. There might not have been as many races in ’48, but by ’49, a full year of racing took place, with names like Nick Fornoro, Ralph “Hop” Harrington and Dave Humphrey victorious for the majority of the season. By then, a Stock division that had been introduced to competition, but the Midgets were still supreme. Seekonk was built especially for that machine. Harrington seemed to be the dominant car heading for the start of a new decade and Humphrey wasn’t going to be far behind.

This year, we’re excited to introduce the Crown Vic Cruisers to the Thrill Show lineup! These crowd-favorite vehicles are taking the place of the Powder Puff race on the schedule, and we can’t wait to see them hit the track with their high-energy, door-banging antics. The Crown Vic Cruisers are sure to bring a whole new level of excitement to the show and keep fans on the edge of their seats. The Thrill Show Lineup: Here’s what you can look forward to at Seekonk Speedway’s action-packed Thrill Shows:
The decision to remove the Powder Puff races from the 2025 schedule was a difficult one and not taken lightly, and it was purely a business decision driven by the need to evolve and adapt to changes in the racing landscape. Over the last 15 years, the Powder Puff races have come and gone, sometimes being held once a year, other times 3-5 times annually. As much as we value the tradition they brought to Seekonk Speedway, not all events maintain their popularity or continue to generate the same excitement over time. With the introduction of the Crown Vic Cruiser division this year, we had to make some tough choices in order to keep our Thrill Show schedule fresh and engaging for our fans. Our goal is always to provide race fans with the most exciting, competitive, and memorable events possible, and to do that, we must prioritize divisions that draw the most interest and participation. Unfortunately, this meant that the Powder Puff races didn’t fit into the 2025 schedule. While we won’t be holding the Powder Puff races this season, we remain open to the possibility of bringing them back in the future, depending on the success of the new Crown Vic Cruiser division and fan feedback. Our commitment at Seekonk Speedway is to continue providing opportunities for both men and women to compete, and we are proud to have over 20 female drivers currently racing in our weekly divisions. Many others have excelled in other events like Spectator Drags and Thrill Shows Endoro events, with several even earning NASCAR race wins and Track championships. We truly hope that the women who enjoyed racing in the Powder Puff events will continue to find new ways to race, whether through Enduros or perhaps even the Crown Vic Cruisers. We value all of our drivers and are always looking for ways to provide exciting opportunities for everyone at the track. Looking Ahead We’re counting down the days until the first Thrill Show of 2025. From the roar of the engines to the cheers of the crowd, there’s nothing quite like the Seekonk Speedway experience. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor, our world-famous Thrill Shows offer something for everyone. No After Market Bumper Covers. ![]()

SEEKONK, Mass. – Seekonk Speedway released today the full schedule of events for the 80th season of speed in 2025 at the Action Track of the East. The schedule includes multiple marquee events spread throughout the season, headlined by weekly championship battles for both Fast Friday and NASCAR Saturday – starting in May and running into the final weekend in September. The weekly racing season begins for NASCAR Saturday divisions with a special Sunday showdown to open the year on Sunday, May 4, while the Fast Friday season opens on Friday, May 30. The Fast Friday divisions will compete in a 15-race slate, while NASCAR Saturday will have 18 events. The champions will be crowned within four weeks of the returning Sunoco Drive For The Cup, September 5-6, 12-13, 19-20 and 26-27. DAV Championship weekend returns on September 26-27 to crown all nine track champions over two days. All five Fast Friday divisions - the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars, Helger’s South Coast Power Equipment Pure Stocks, Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaws and Bandits and the Everett’s Auto Parts Sport 4’s will be back on track. The Pro Stocks, Late Models, Helger’s Sportsman and Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Trucks will also return on NASCAR Saturday. Seekonk Speedway will celebrate the 80th season of racing with a special Anniversary Series for each NASCAR Saturday division. The Pro Stocks will run an anniversary 80-lap race on June 21, while the Late Models will also run a special 80-lap event on July 12. The Sportsman and Sport Trucks will both run 40-lap special events - totalling 80 laps - on the same night - June 28. “We’re excited to celebrate the 80th season of speed at Seekonk Speedway with a great schedule of events for our fans, competitors and teams,” David Alburn, Competition Director at Seekonk Speedway, said. “We have a great mix of weekly racing, Thrill Shows and special events with some touring series divisions coming in. We can’t wait for the winter to pass by so we can open what will be a special year at Seekonk Speedway in 2025.” Major events for the year include the return of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour for the J&R Precast 150 on Saturday, May 31, joined by Seekonk’s NASCAR Late Models, Sportsman and Sport Trucks. For 2025, Mid Week Madness returns to Seekonk Speedway, but it won’t just be with open-wheel divisions. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series returns for their first of two visits on Wednesday, June 25, set for a 100-lap, $10,000 to win race. They will be joined by the American-Canadian Tour for the Spring Green 125, pinning some of Seekonk best against the top ACT invaders. This is the only mid-week event of the year. The Boston Louie Memorial for the NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites returns on Saturday, July 26, joined by Seekonk’s NASCAR Pro Stocks and Late Models along with the New England Antique Modified Series. The Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series also returns for 2025 - a special three-race series for all divisions, with extra laps on the line. The Triple Crown Series is a long-standing season event that will once again have a full weekend of crowning Triple Crown champions on August 8 and 9, where all divisions except the Bandolero’s will run extra laps. The USNE Power Haunted Hundred also returns for 2025, wrapping up the Seekonk season on Saturday, October 25. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series will crown their 2025 champion, along with the American-Canadian Tour back on track for their 100-lap championship, and the return of the Street Stocks. Seekonk Speedway’s historic Thrill Shows are also back for the new year, with six major shows planned. The first is the annual Memorial Day event on Saturday, May 24, followed up by the Independence Day show on Saturday, July 5, headlined by the Fireworks spectacular. In between, the Monster Trucks return for their only 2025 visit along with the Spectator Drags on Sunday, June 15.

Additional schedule notes include:
For tickets for all 2025 events and more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media for the latest news and updates. Tickets for all 2025 events will be on sale early December. After a long season of racing across both Fast Friday and NASCAR Saturday, Seekonk Speedway will crown 2024 champions this weekend at the Action Track of the East. D.A.V. Championship weekend will take place September 27-28, with nine drivers set to be enshrined as track champions. Each of the nine divisions has a “Final Four” in the Sunoco Drive For The Cup. The driver who finishes the highest in the feature event this week compared to the other three wins the championship. The Final Four contenders include a mix of former track champions, veterans and some rising drivers looking to etch their name into track history. Fast Friday championship night begins at 7 p.m., while NASCAR Saturday championship night begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are available online for both nights in advance by visiting SeekonkSpeedway.com. Pro Stock Final Four: Dylan Estrella, Bobby Pelland III, Vinnie Arrenegado, Mike Brightman With 11 playoff points after the first two weeks, Dylan Estrella leads the Pro Stock Final Four. The Everett’s Auto Parts Racing driver of the No. 46 stormed to the front of the pack often throughout the season, visiting Victory Lane multiple times and always being a threat for the podium. Bobby Pelland III is another former Late Model champion looking to add a Pro Stock title to his resume. Pelland has multiple victories this season and always finds himself around the podium at the end of the night. After making the Final Four last year and coming up just short, Pelland looks to rebound and seal the deal this year. Vinnie Arrenegado is one driver who has put together a season filled with second-place finishes. To be exact, Arrenegado finished second SEVEN times. He will lock up the Rookie of the Year award in the Pro Stocks, but the former Late Model champion wants Pro Stock title gold. And no one can count out Mike Brightman either. Another Final Four run for him will come down to the wire, with Brightman also looking to add to a previous Late Model Seekonk title. Brightman ended the regular season with his first victory of the season and seems ready to chase the crown. The Pro Stock championship event is 50 laps. Late Model Final Four: Charlie Rose, Jacob “Rowdy” Burns, Chase Belcher, Luke Lebrun Burns, the defending Fast Friday Legends Cars champion, also made that Final Four again this year. He will have a chance to win two track titles, on two different nights, on championship weekend. His Late Model season specifically includes five feature wins. The most veteran driver of the bunch, Charlie Rose enters the Final Four. Rose has also been among the fastest cars all year, winning multiple times. There have been a few “classic” battles between Rose and Burns, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if the two of them are slugging it out for the crown. Chase Belcher, who is no stranger to the Final Four, has put together a quiet playoff run. He hasn’t had the speed he’s been looking for all year, but would love nothing more than to put a great race together and come away with the championship crown. And Luke Lebrun, another driver who has been through a season filled with ups and downs, also is in the Final Four. With victories to his credit this season, Lebrun will look to use some of his experience to be there when it matters in the final laps of the championship event. The Late Model championship event is 40 laps. Helger’s Sportsman Final Four: Colby Lambert, Adam Pettey, Doug Benoit, Scott Serydynski Jr. The Helger’s Sportsman Final Four is wide open, but they will have to go through the dominant car all year if they want to win the championship. Colby Lambert put together one of the most consistent seasons in the history of the Sportsman, dominating along with the way with consistency and also earning the most playoff points of anyone at Seekonk Speedway. Pettey, who had a dominant year in 2023 but came away just short of the title, looks to get what he feels like is his this season. He’s shown he can win and win often, and it may take a win to seal up the title. He’s joined by Benoit, a former Fast Friday Pure Stock champion, just like Lambert. Both of these drivers have moved up to the Sportsman and now have a shot at the title. Benoit had a rough summer with mechanical gremlins, but seems to have figured them out just at the right time to make a run. And, how about Serydynski, joining the party? Another driver who’s had a season filled with ups and downs, Serydynski has made it to this point with a shot to hoist the championship trophy. The Helger’s Sportsman championship event is 35 laps. Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Truck Final Four: Rick Martin, Jake Vanada, Mike Duarte, Tim Bolger Jr. Martin certainly leads the list of favorites. He’s won the last two Sport Truck titles and looks to add a third straight in 2024, in his 50th season of racing. Martin is the most veteran of this group and most veteran of all drivers at Seekonk Speedway. He’s been around, and won the title in his format the last two years. Duarte won the bonus points for the regular season, leading the charge at the end of the August. He hasn’t had a fantastic start to the playoffs, but all it will take is one race for him to hold his second Sport Truck title. Vanada may look like a darkhorse going into it, but he may like it that way. The Everett’s Auto Parts driver certainly didn’t have the win count he wanted this year, but he’s got a shot to win the title - and he’s going to be a major threat to finish it off. And Bolger, maybe the surprise of the year in the Sport Trucks, has his own opportunity to win. Bolger won the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown title this year in a similar format and also has multiple wins, so look out for him. The championship event for the Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Trucks is set for 35 laps. Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars Final Four: Jacob “Rowdy” Burns, Richie Helger Jr., Chase Silvia, Mason Tessier
Burns is the defending Legends Cars champion. In a year filled with ups and downs, Burns has three Legends Cars wins and constant top-five finishes. He will be a major threat to capture a second straight championship. Chase Silvia earned the most playoff points of anyone in the first two weeks, with 11. He did that with a victory in the first race and a second-place finish in round two. The driver of the No. 17 seems to have caught fire in the second half of the season, finishing on the podium in four of the final six races, including winning twice. Richie Helger Jr. enters the Final Four with two wins of his own. He made the Final Four in the Legends Cars last year, so has some experience to lean back on. With consistent speed throughout the whole year, Helger will be a threat to capture the crown. And Tessier, the consistent one, enters with optimism. It’s likely it will take a win or at least a podium run to win the championship. Tessier has no wins and just two podium finishes this year, but would pick no better time to get to the front of the field. The Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars championship event is 30 laps. Helger’s Pure Stocks Final Four: Mike Henriques, Brent Robidoux, Danny Massa, Ethan Souza Robidoux leads the overall season point standings, coming off an impressive season that will earn him the Rookie of the Year award. One year after moving up from the Bandolero class, Robidoux has been to Victory Lane and been consistently near the front of the field in his debut year. Henriques has been similarly consistent up at the front. He’s never won a championship, but is certainly one of the more polished veterans in the division. Ethan Souza has quietly put together a consistent season himself. In the last nine races, Souza hasn’t finished outside the top-five. He has one victory on the season, showing he can lead the class. If he wants to win the title, he may have to lead the class again. Massa, another polished veteran of the division, had a tough start, but has turned it around in a big way. In his last seven events, Massa has two victories and four podium runs to go along with them. His experience should help him be in contention to capture the crown. Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaw Final Four: Bryson Robidoux, Brody Wakefield, Nick Uhrig Jr., Parker Davis The Final Four in the Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaw field includes the regular season points leader, a driver rolling into it hot and two speedy competitors looking to earn the title. With victories in the first two Sunoco Drive For The Cup playoff events, Parker Davis leads the charge. Davis has four wins this season, and won the championship in this style format last year in the Bandits. His move up to the Outlaws has shown continued success. Robidoux led the points at the end of the regular season, entering the playoffs with three bonus points. Robidoux also has four wins this season, showing consistent speed throughout the year to go along with nine podium finishes. Wakefield had quite the impressive start to the season, with two wins and podium finishes in the first four events. Since then, he may have cooled off a smidge, but he’s still found himself on the podium often. With two wins on the season, Wakefield would love to end his title run with one more victory. Uhrig, no stranger to the Final Four in this championship format in a Bandolero, he does have experience competing for the title on championship night. After a season filled with ups and downs, he may be considered the darkhorse entering the Outlaw Final Four, but will be a threat. Sport 4 Final Four: Richie Johnson, Matt Pion, Tyler Duhancik, Justin Leduc Although Leduc had an up and down start to the season, he’s caught fire in the second half. He’s been inside the podium in seven of nine events heading down the stretch run, including three feature wins. Leduc has been the fastest car in the track of late, and will roll into the Final Four with plenty of momentum. Joining him, Richie Johnson has been a master of consistency in the second half of the season. In his last seven events, Johnson has top-five finishes in all of them. Although he hasn’t won yet, Johnson enters the Final Four looking to pounce. There would be no better time to win. Pion was on top at the end of the regular season, earning three bonus points towards the playoffs. Using those to his advantage after a tough first week of the playoffs, Pion enters the Final Four looking to seal up the championship. He has two wins on the season. Duhancik had a rough and tumble last time out, wrecking in practice and having to use a borrowed ride for the main event. There have been races this year that Duhancik looked like the dominant force in the division. Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandit Final Four: Luka Dib, David Bernier, Mason Silva, Jase Chaber Dib, Bernier and Silva have been the class of the field all year. Driving to multiple feature wins, Dib is on a roll entering the Final Four, coming into it with three straight wins and victories in four out of the last six events. Bernier has been on the podium in all but one event this season and has four wins of his own. Silva, driving the No. 31, has two victories along with 11 podium finishes. Chaber on the other hand hasn’t won, but has been consistently inside the top-five. He has finished fifth or better in all of the Bandolero Bandit races this season, showing his drive to be at the front. Although he’s the underdog entering the Final Four battle, can he come out on top? And if he doesn’t, which one of the three Bandolero Bandit powerhouses ends the season on a high note? Seekonk Speedway D.A.V. Championship weekend takes place on Friday, September 27 and Saturday, September 28.
