Bear Ridge Is Staple On Xtreme Dirt Midget Ass’n Schedule

Bear Ridge Speedway will once again be the home track of the Xtreme Dirt Midget Association with 11 races in 2024.

The quarter-mile dirt track in Vermont’s beautiful Northeast Kingdom has been the home of the DMA since 2011. The DMA will appear at Bear Ridge’s season opener on May 4 and at the closing event on Sept. 21.

After the season opener, the DMA will be back at Bear Ridge on May 18 and June 1. The opening June race begins a string of six races in six weekends. Friday, June 7, will mark the annual trip to Albany-Saratoga Speedway, Malta, NY. 

The series will travel back to Bear Ridge on June 15 and then hold a headlining event at the Flat Track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Friday Night Dirt Duels are an event not to be missed as the DMA gets to show its stuff before a large crowd on NHMS’s NASCAR weekend.

After Loudon, Bear Ridge will host the next four events — June 29, July 6, July 27 and Aug. 10.

The DMA will make their debut at Devil’s Bowl Speedway, West Haven, Vt., on Aug. 17. The fast half-mile on Vermont’s west side should provide plenty of speed and thrills. The DMA will close out 2024 with three races at Bear Ridge Speedway on Aug. 24, Sept. 7 and the finale on Sept. 21.

The Xtreme Dirt Midget Association is a 14-year-old midget racing series.
