Facility Overview
Freedom Motorsports Park parking provides extensive open-air venue parking directly serving Western New York’s premier 1/3-mile clay oval dirt track. Located at 11099 Marble Springs Road in rural Delevan, New York, the grounds feature vast grass and gravel spectator fields, along with dedicated competitor pit and hauler staging zones. Because this is an open-sky pastoral facility, there are absolutely no vertical clearance limits or overhead height obstructions. The terrain easily accommodates standard passenger cars, oversized four-wheel-drive pickup trucks, family SUVs, race trailers, transport haulers, and recreational camping vehicles (RVs) throughout the spring, summer, and early autumn racing seasons.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in northern Cattaraugus County, the parking grounds position visitors directly outside the main grandstands and entrance gates for high-speed dirt racing action, including Late Models, Sportsman Modifieds, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, and regional demolition derbies.
- Freedom Motorsports Park Grandstands & Track: Directly adjacent (1 to 3 minutes walking time).
- Village of Delevan: Roughly 5 miles to the west, offering local diners, fueling stops, and convenience stores.
- Village of Arcade & Arcade & Attica Railroad: Approximately 7 miles north, a historic steam locomotive excursion attraction and regional retail hub.
- Lime Lake: Located about 7 miles southwest, providing popular seasonal water recreation, cottages, and lakeside dining.
- Yorkshire & Route 16 Commercial Corridor: Located 6 miles northwest, featuring supermarkets, regional services, and fast-casual dining.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are managed via Marble Springs Road, connecting directly to NY-98 and NY-16, the primary regional north-south thoroughfares linking Cattaraugus County with metropolitan Buffalo and Olean. Drivers navigating to the track typically travel south along Route 16 from East Aurora or north from Olean and Franklinville, turning east onto local connecting county roads leading into Marble Springs Road. During major marquee race events and season finales, track flaggers and ground staff direct vehicles into designated parking lanes upon entry. Post-race exit traffic moves steadily back out onto Marble Springs Road; drivers should exercise patience as rural two-lane roadways handle the outbound spectator rush. Given the rural location, public municipal transit does not service the track, making personal vehicles, carpools, or team haulers essential.

Visitor & Driver Tips
- Arrive Ahead of Warmups: Arriving 45 to 60 minutes before hot laps or qualifying ensures an easy parking spot near the grandstand gates and shorter lines at the ticket booth.
- Prepare for Rural Terrain: Parking takes place on grass and packed dirt. After heavy Western New York rainstorms, ground can be soft; drivers of low-clearance sports cars should drive cautiously and choose higher ground where available.
- Pack Event Essentials: Bring a small flashlight for walking back to your car after night features conclude, along with blankets or stadium cushions for the grandstands.
- Cash Recommended: While card processing is increasingly common, carrying cash for gate admission, parking programs, and track concession stands ensures smooth, swift transactions.
