FONDA — After a challenging 2020 due to New York State-imposed COVID-19 regulations, Fonda Speedway will be back — stronger than ever — in 2021.

The BD Motorsports Media LLC management team returns for its third season at the historic Track of Champions half-mile oval. The first on-track activity of ’21 is planned for Saturday, April 10 with an Open Practice session.

The famed Fonda 200 weekend returns to the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Thurs.-Sat. Sept. 16-18, 2021 offering $53,000 to the race winner of the Modified event.

With an eye on giving fans an early season boost, Fonda Speedway promoter Brett Deyo has released the tentative 2021 race schedule at the Track of Champions.
