We are just days away from the first glimpse of the 2023 season at the Bridgeport Motorsports Park as Doug and Brittany Rose prepare to open the track gates for Saturday’s practice.
Saturday’s open practice will give the race teams their first laps on the tracks new clay surface. The 200 loads of clay that have been added to the High Banks during the off season will equalize the playing field as everyone will be back to square one as they begin to collect data and prepare for the season to come.
Rose did his homework, searching for the right clay for the track that he designed and brought to life for the 2020 season. “Tony Lascaro and I had clay tested from 7 different locations before choosing the black clay. We weren’t looking for free stuff – we wanted the right clay for our new surface, ” Rose explained. “John Cavalaro has put in countless hours getting the new surface prepared with the help of Leroy and Rebecca Young.”
Racing at Rose’s facility has been second to none. It has provided a winning combination for the Modifieds, 602 Sportsman and Street Stocks – Bridgeport’s three regular Saturday night divisions. Sprint car racing has become a fan favorite on the 4/10th mile track whether it be one of the national series, winged or wingless, 305, 360 or 410 power-plants.
Many race teams are planning to start their 2023 season with Saturday’s practice and that is exactly what Rose is hoping for. Practice will start at 3pm to insure similar track conditions for the season opener – the @Short Track Super Series Doug Hoffman Memorial 60 Over just one week later. Rose is looking to keep the track open for practice for as long as the competitors wish to participate, running as many laps as possible.
A very busy 2023 season gets underway just one week from now with two days of racing. The second week of the season will see the Ron Faison Memorial on Saturday, March 31st with the Invasion of the PA Posse and the Danny’s Pizza Pizazz Modifieds on Sunday, April 1 (and this is no April Fool!)
Bridgeport will offer first time events for three national series – @High Limit Racing, American Flat Track and Xtreme National Midget Series. We will see the return of the Mid Atlantic Sprint Series for a dozen events in addition to USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints, United Racing Club as well as the return of the USAC National Sprints and the All Star Circuit of Champions. The Short Track Super Series will offer two events on the High Banks.
The Bridgeport Motorsports Park is where it’s at!! It is where YOU should start your 2023 season!

Bridgeport, NJ – Racers and Fans swarmed Bridgeport Motorsports Park Booth this past weekend at the Motorsports Race Car & Trade Show in Oaks, PA.
Bridgeport Motorsports Park participated in the 2023 Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports Race Car and Trade Show at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Oaks, PA over the weekend. Track owners, Brittany and Doug Rose were kept busy throughout the show hours, answering questions from an array of drivers and great fans, selling billboard sponsorships, pit passes, pit parking and season tickets.
Bridgeport Speedway featured three competitors from the 2022 season. Back-to-back track Modified champion, Ryan Godown’s No. 26, the EZ Works Trucks sponsored No. 2 of CJ Faison representing the Delaware Auto Exchange Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series and the Barber No. 99 all set for Friday night action on the Spirit Speedway quarter mile.
A lot of the conversation over the weekend surrounded the two new attractions coming to the Bridgeport Motorsports Park this season – the American Flat Track race and the High Limit Racing Series. The Flat Track Motorcycles are the pinnacle of flat track racing. This event will receive national coverage through Fox Sports (FS1) when they hit the High Banks on July 22nd . The High Limit Series comes to Bridgeport for the final race on their schedule on October 3rd. Several drivers have already made the commitment to all of the events in this series including Kyle Larson, Rico Abreu and Justin Peck as well as PA Posse drivers, Danny Dietrich and Brent Marks.
The clay is on the way! The new clay will be added to the race track in the near future. The new clay should only make the racing greater than it has been in the past! It will certainly make for an even playing field across the board on opening weekend since it will be the first time on the new surface for all of the competitors.
There is a lot of excitement building for the 2023 season. The addition of the live Flo broadcasts last season has made Bridgeport a household name around the country as people from near and far are able to take in the racing action on the High Banks.
SWEDESBORO, N.J. – It was a great waY to say Thank You!
Doug and Brittany Rose, owners and promoters of Bridgeport Motorsports Park recently held a dinner party at Maria’s in Penn’s Grove, N.J., for the various track sponsors and business owners who supported the Speedway during the recently completed 2022 racing season.
In all, the business owners who supported the four-tenth-of-a-mile high-banked clay oval, as well as the Spirit Auto one-quarter mile inner oval, and supporters of the Doug Rose and Rich Tobias co-promoted Action Track USA were on hand, and treated to a delicious meal. Dinner attendees were then able to socialize with each other as well as Promoter Rose, who was moving about the room throughout the evening talking individually with the invited guests to personally say Thank You for all of the great support.
Upon arriving, all guests were presented with a gift of appreciation for their commitment and support. Prior to the start of dinner, invited guests were each introduced, and then the gathering was addressed by Doug Rose, who expressed his heartfelt thanks to everyone in attendance for their great support of the various Bridgeport Motorsports Park events. Rose told the gathering it was because of their great backing that he was able to provide not only the weekly racing events at the tracks, but bring in the higher profile national traveling series, which help to push the track into the national spotlight.
Rose was honored and thankful to host the events he did in 2022, and those events he will be having in the new season ahead, all with the tremendous partnerships that have been developed with the great sponsors that Bridgeport is fortunate to have.
The sponsors who support Bridgeport Motorsports Park and Spirit Auto Speedway know that the track has a very busy schedule each season, with events running from March until November, so they know that their sponsorship is viewed by a lot of people and for most of the calendar year. Another huge factor is the live stream coverage of the race programs by Flo Racing for Bridgeport, and The Cushion for Spirit, so the sponsors know their business and products reach a large audience.
Both Doug and Brittany wanted to let the sponsors know, that not only is their financial support greatly appreciated, but by working closely with the sponsors to set up their agreements, it has allowed the Roses’ to develop new friendships as well.
The dinner party was a new way in which the Roses’ wanted to give back to, and recognize the people who are an important part of the success of the Bridgeport Motorsport Park, Spirit Auto Center Speedway and Action Track USA facilities.
