Two days of racing at Saratoga Speedway this weekend for Battle at Black Creek

It will be a busy weekend at Saratoga Speedway with two days of racing on the schedule. 

The fifth annual Gary Marcus Trucking Battle at Black Creek returns to the track this weekend, with races on both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. 

Two 125 lap main events for the BC and WESCAR Late Model Series will feature over 20 cars on both days. 

Among the racers will be Former Saratoga Speedway Street Stock and Bomber champion Charlie Ackerman, who’s won both Late Model races to open the 2025 season despite this being just his second season racing a Late Model. 

Ackerman said he’s been able to quickly adapt to the faster class of car. 

“It’s a different animal to a Street Stock, there’s a lot more power, but you have a lot more tire to put the power to the ground.” 

Also in the field will be the defending series champion Daryl Crocker, 2024 WESCAR Rookie of the Year Kyle Wade, and others. 

Tickets for both days are available on the Saratoga Speedway website or at the front gate.
