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]
