The Dirt Track at Genesee is hosting two major racing events on Thursday, August 7th: the Big Block/Small Block Challenge and the Kyle Inman Tribute race.

The Big Block/Small Block Challenge offers a $4,000 winner's purse, with racing action starting at 7:00 PM. Last season's champion Erick Rudolph, who won both races, will face tough competition from local favorite Phil Vigneri III, who sees winning at Genesee as a career milestone.

A new 2-race mini-series partnership between The Dirt Track at Genesee and Freedom Motorsports Park will distribute $2,000 among the top three finishers ($1,000 for 1st, $600 for 2nd, $400 for 3rd). The series begins at Freedom Motorsports Park on June 25th.

The Kyle Inman Tribute race, now in its third year, features a 30-lap event with a $2,000 winner's purse. Cameron Tuttle won the inaugural race in 2023 at Genesee Speedway, followed by Dave Conant's victory at Ransomville Speedway last year.

Race promoter Matt Steffenhagen emphasizes the community's strong support for the Kyle Inman Tribute, noting its significance in honoring a competitor who championed local racing. The event has become a prestigious addition to the racing calendar, drawing strong participation from drivers and fans alike.
