Stateline Speedway is a one-third mile dirt oval raceway located in the Chautauqua-Alleghany (or the western Southern Tier) Region of New York State.
Overview
The Stateline Speedway became a reality when Leonard Briggs and his friends Lloyd Williams, Marv Thorpe and brothers, Don and Jerry Frank secured the deed to a 77-acre abandoned property in the Town of Busti in April 1956.[1] The first race was held on July 21, 1956, while the first feature was won by Emory Mahan driving a 1955 Chevy.[2]
The venue hosted one NASCAR Cup Series event on July 16, 1958, where Shorty Rollins won because most of the top drivers didn't make it due to a long rain delay at a previous race.[3]
On November 1, 2024, Bill Catania and his wife Lisa purchased Stateline Speedway from the Scott and Turner Families, becoming the 4th owners of the track in its 69-year history.[4]
Events
Stateline Speedway races Saturday nights April through mid-August, and features the Super Late Models, Rush Crate Late Models, Rush Stock Cars, Pro Stocks, UMP Modifieds, Rush Pro Modifieds and Compacts.[5]
In 2012, the venue presented the "Empire 50", a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event.[6] The track has also hosted numerous World of Outlaws Late Model Series events, including 2026.[7] Dick Barton winning the first event and became the first local driver to win a series event. The track has a rich history of curating many national recognized and touring drivers including Chub Frank (Chubzilla), Max Blair, Brian Ruhlman, Dave Hess, and Boom Briggs.[8]
