Fulton Speedway is a 3/8th mile high bank dirt oval raceway in Volney, New York. The track was built into a hilly area on the banks of the Oswego River in a natural bowl, with seating high above the track, on a hill.

## History

[edit]

Millard “Bub” Benway and his brother Ray used their construction business, Benway Bros. Construction, to build a 1/3 mile paved oval under the name Mil-Ray Raceway.[1] The first event was held June 24th, 1961, and a 1/8 mile dragstrip began operations on July 15, 1962, and ran for a decade.[2] Veteran driver Dutt Yanni captured the first track championship.[3]

Asphalt racing was on the weekly schedule until 1978. The track was reopened as a 3/8 mile dirt oval in 1979.[4]

in July 1998, Harvey, Joan, and David Fink purchased the track. Since 2009, the track, along with the Brewerton Speedway, has been owned by John and Laura Wight.[5] The Wights previously owned the Can-Am Speedway.

## Outlaw 200

[edit]

In 1986, Benway presented a 200-lap event, featuring small-block modifieds, dubbing it the Victoria 200 in honor of his recently deceased wife.[6] The event grew to be one of the most prestigious Modified races in the Northeast, and while motor rules were opened up to include big-block engines for a period, in 2023 the race returned to its roots as a small-block program.[7]
