Mohawk International Raceway is a four-tenths of a mile semi-banked high-speed dirt oval raceway located three miles from the Canadian-American border near Hogansburg, New York.[2]
In 1987 Dennis White completed a three-year effort to construct the Frogtown International Speedway in the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne territory by holding its first racing event.[2] Chiefs from both the recognized councils of the Canadian and American portions of the reservation conducted the opening ceremonies for over 2,500 fans.[3] Because of its unique location, it became one of the first venues in the United States to offer onsite wagering for automobile races.[4]
In 2008 the facility was rebranded the Mohawk International Raceway and the Nation approved a multi-million dollar investment in VIP booths, Musco Lighting, and other upgrades.[5] [6]
The facility offers racing every Saturday night in the summer, which includes five racing classes: Modified 358's, Sportsman, Pro Stocks, Limited Sportsman, and the Mini Stocks.[7] It also hosts a variety of outdoor concerts, including the Smokefest Cannabis Festival.[8]
