(Dundee, NY) Outlaw Speedway owner/promoter, Tyler Siri reminds everyone the Annual Track Banquet will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the Harbor Hotel located on the southern shore of Seneca Lake in downtown Watkins Glen, NY.
“The drivers, race teams, fans, sponsors and employees that support Outlaw Speedway deserve a top- notch venue for the awards banquet and it just does not get any better than the Harbor Hotel. This is a five-star restaurant and hotel, and they roll out the red carpet for us every year that we have come here. That is according to Tyler Siri.
A mouth-watering prime rib buffet will be served and those in attendance will be entertained in the grand ballroom of the massive Harbor Hotel facility.
In addition, for those that wish to spend the night, the management of the Harbor Hotel has a block of rooms set aside at a discount price.
“This is a first-class event all the way, stated Siri. All our awards are handcrafted by Chris Daugherty and his employees at Big Jim’s Wicked Tee’s. We give out record amounts of point fund money in each of our five adult weekly classes of competition, the meal is fabulous, the cuisine second to none and we always have an exciting time.”
Third generation driver, Alex Payne will receive a check for $10,000 from track promoter, Tyler Siri for claiming the 2024 Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modified Track Championship. For Payne it marks his first ever Modified Track Title.
Like Payne, Carter Crooker will also pickup his first ever Championship in the Sunrise Insulation/Knapp and Schlappi Lumber 602 Crate Sportsman Class. Crooker will receive a check for $2,000 for his effort.
What makes both Payne’s and Crooker’s Championships unique is that both speedsters are still just teenagers.
Veteran competitor, Gene Sharpsteen will hoist the Track Championship winning check for $2,000 and the 6’ trophy claiming his first every Outlaw Speedway Swarthout Recycling Street Stock Title.
Same holds true for Jeredd Dennis as he was able to upend perineal Outlaw Speedway Track Champion, Marc Minutolo to claim his first ever Addison, Corning, Hornell, Wellsville Hobby Stock Track Championship and the $2 grand that goes along with it.
Joining teenagers Payne and Crooker, will be yet a third young gun in Willy Easling as he nailed down his first Outlaw Speedway Track Title claiming the Winner’s Circle Deli 4 Cylinder Mini Stock Division. A beautiful 6’ trophy, a check for $2,000 plus bragging rights will await Easling.
Last but certainly not least, the Fritz Masonry Youth Bandit Division will see second gen driver, Zach Daugherty claim his first Track Championship.
Daugherty, who is the son of veteran driver, Chris Daugherty and younger brother of Modified standout competitor, Jeff Daugherty won the Bandit Championship in convincing style picking up victories in five of the six features that were staged in 2024.
In addition to the top drivers receiving hardware and point fund money, Tyler Siri will also hand out numerous additional awards as part of his traditional presentation.
Cocktail hour will begin at 5:00 pm with dinner to follow at 6:00 pm.
