Track Information

Located just miles outside of Whitney Point, N.Y., Thunder Mountain Speedway is a three-eighths-mile banked clay oval hosting weekly stock car racing on Saturday nights from April through September. The speedway was constructed by Karl Spoonhower in the early 1990s from hillside farmland and opened for business in 1992. Spoonhower, a businessman from Berkshire, N.Y., sold the facility in 2006. After seven years away, he reacquired Thunder Mountain in the autumn of 2013 and has since taken on a number of improvement projects including the complete resurfacing of the track's clay, an expanded/reconfigured turn three, a reworked entrance road, new lighting and a general clean-up of the concession stands, bathrooms, VIP towers and the facility.Weekly racing at Thunder Mountain is headlined by the powerful big-block/small-block Modifieds outfitted with sail panels. Other regular divisions include DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, 600cc Modifieds, 600cc Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, and Factory Stock.

Thunder Mountain offers a family atmosphere, stadium-style concrete hillside seating for 2,500 spectators, concession stands offering delicious food items, novelties and more. Parking and camping on the premises are always free. All seating is general admission. Tickets are sold at the gate on race night.
