Fonda and Utica-Rome Speedways have announced plans to host a series of 358-Modified racing events in 2025, expanding their motorsport offerings while maintaining their existing Modified divisions.

The schedule includes six events split between the venues: four at Utica-Rome and two at Fonda. These races will be scheduled to avoid conflicts with neighboring speedways, maximizing participation opportunities for competitors.

The events will follow Can-Am Motorsports rules, permitting DIRTcar 358, W-16, and CT 525 engines. Track promoter Brett Deyo confirms formal scheduling details will be released after January 2025.

Key 2025 Season Dates:

• Fonda Speedway: Open Practice (April 12), Season Opener (April 19)
• Utica-Rome Speedway: Open Practice (April 11), Season Opener (April 13)
