Mother Nature Tried to Stop Mirabito Energy Night
This past Saturday night while many tracks were cancelled. Afton Motorsports Park did an amazing job of completing their entire race program. A shower and thunderstorm rolled in, but the track personnel worked the track back in with help from the race teams.

Afton Motorsports Park Holds First Practice Of The 2023 Season.
This past Saturday the drivers who will be competing at Afton Motorsports Park got to test out the new clay. Mother Nature was kind with lots of sun, but a strong wind made the surface dry out quickly. Track officials did their best to keep the surface watered so all the regular divisions had a chance to get on the track. Other types of race machines that do not compete at the track were also welcome to shake down their cars. Lots of the teams have changed up their paint schemes for the 2023 season. There will be one more practice season next Saturday, April 29th. This will allow the teams that are not quite ready to shake down their cars.
On Saturday, May 6th it will be opening day for the 2023 racing season. The first major event for the Modifieds will be a thirty-two lap special race honoring Mitch Gibbs. Mitch from North Norwich, New York known as The Show Stopper is the winningest Modified driver at Afton Motorsports Park. He has many fans that will be on hand to see this prestigious race. Lap Sponsorship has been sold with the money being distributed throughout the field. It will be a great night of racing with the rest of the divisions on hand. For more information about Afton Motorsports Park check out their Facebook page or the website.

Afton Motorsports Park 2023 Season Practices and Opening Events
AFTON, NY - Spring is in the air and the bees are a buzzing, but so is the buzz in the air on the switch to Saturday night racing at the historic Afton Motorsports Park (A.M.P.). Two test and tune sessions are on the docket on Saturday April 22 and 29 which will serve as track time for competitor's and give the track crew notes in case, they need to make any necessary adjustments to the newly laid down clay at the speedway. It is the third consecutive season that the race surface has seen more clay put down and manicured in, to mesh with the great surface already there. The track is on schedule for those opening two test and tune sessions. You will want to get out to one or both of them if you're a competitor to get used to the new surface and the buzz of the influx of new competitors you will want to see the wide spacious layout of the track and the great area for parking in the pits on grass. Bring your sign and mark your parking spot as they will go quickly.
Afton Honors Mitch Gibbs with Special Event
The first two weeks of the season are going to be blockbusters to say the least with opening night Saturday May 6 being a tribute to the winningest Modified driver ever at the track. Mitch Gibbs aka ('The Show Stopper') of North Norwich, N.Y. will be honored with a huge night planned for the Modified division. The feature winner will be getting a minimum two grand for their efforts in the thirty-two-lap affair. All thirty-two laps will be sponsored for a minimum of $25.00 with many of them much more. As of this writing there were only six unsponsored laps but probably by the time this is posted they will be sold. There is always room for more money to be put down to the racers or even contingency awards just let Promoter Ron Ford or his General Manager Todd Stanton know. Call Mr. Ford at 607.624.3772 or Todd at 607.287.7175 or leave a message on the official A.M.P. page Heat races are sold with each one of four having $100.00 going to the winner. Hard Charger award worth $200.00. There are four laps worth $100.00 each, one at $200.00 and one at $222.00. You can go to the A.M.P. Facebook page or website and get all the sponsor's name and details. It is not all on position one either and a big $500.00 challenge where if you start in position 22 and end up in the top ten you would collect that nice prize. Right now, at this writing the special cash awards add up to $2531.00. Nice job for all involved to honor one of the greats not only at A.M.P. but wherever Mr. Mitch Gibbs strapped into a racecar. Thank you for the memories, Sir

Jake Maynard who is a Reginal Director for the IMCA Modified and also is President of the NYPENN IMCA Modified Series.
