Spud Speedway to reopen for July PASS race, raise money for charity

6 years ago

Even though it has not held a stock car race since 2015, Troy Haney insists Spud Speedway in Caribou will be ready for the Aroostook Federal Savings and Loan Firecracker 200 Pro All-Stars Series Super Late Model race on July 3.

It will be the first PASS race at Spud Speedway since 2010. The winner will pocket $5,000.

“It has been kept up every year. Nothing has changed,” Haney, who owns the one-third-mile track, said.

“It has held up very well considering the age of the track. It has some character, but it isn’t rough by any means. We’ll patch the cracks,” he added.

Haney said the track hasn’t been repaved in over 30 years but that improvements are in the offing including a lighting upgrade, a fencing adjustment and painting new lines on the pavement.
