ESTEVAN - The Estevan Motor Speedway is going to have its biggest attraction back for next season.
The Dakota Classic Modified Tour said in a post on its Facebook page Saturday that it would be returning to Estevan in 2023. The speedway then confirmed the news, and said it would have a 2023 schedule released soon.
Speaking after the speedway’s annual general meeting on Nov. 29, president Brad Pierson said they expected to be part of the tour.
The last time the tour was in Estevan was in 2019. The speedway was supposed to have a doubleheader to open the tour in 2020, but those plans were scuttled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Estevan was off the tour in 2021 and 2022, too.
Drivers from southeast Saskatchewan join competitors from across the U.S. for the tour, which traditionally has six races in six days. Five are in North Dakota and one is in Saskatchewan.
