The Big Block/Small Block Challenge offers a $4,000 winner's purse. Last season's champion Erick Rudolph swept both races, while local favorite Phil Vigneri III aims for victory. "Winning a Big Block race at Genesee is probably at the top of my bucket list in racing," says Vigneri III.

The Dirt Track at Genesee and Freedom Motorsports Park introduce a 2-race mini-series with a $2,000 total purse split among top 3 finishers ($1,000/1st, $600/2nd, $400/3rd). The series begins June 25th at Freedom Motorsports Park.

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, followed by Dave Conant's victory at Ransomville Speedway last year.

Race promoter Matt Steffenhagen emphasizes the event's significance: "Kyle was all about racing at his local track. Someone who was such a big part of the weekly racing scene at Genesee should be remembered by more than just having his name on the wall of champions."
