(WOODHULL, NY) – If you go to your favorite dirt track and love the Street Stock divisions that compete, Woodhull Raceway has a show right up your alley for Saturday night.
Joe Willcox Performance Automatics and Schweigart’s Maple Equipment will present Saturday's event highlighted by the 6th Annual Street Stock ‘Woodhull 100’ for the Street Stock competitors. Also in competition will be a 30-lap $800-to-win Crate Sportsman special (24 car minimum) & 30-lap $500-to-win Hobby Stock special.
The first trip to Woodhull Raceway will also take place for the NY6A Micro Sprint Series. They will also be joined by Open Mini Stocks, Open Front Wheel Drives and Crate Late Models.
Championship Night races for the Hobby Stocks and Front Wheel Drives will also be made up on this night. The Hobby Stocks will resume their race in order from Lap 9. The Front Wheel Drive race will run in its entirety.
What started as an extra-distance, extra-purse race for the local racers has now blossomed into one of the biggest races for all street stock drivers from over 5 to 6 different tracks. Drivers running for bigger payouts as well as lap money and huge bragging rights for the impending offseason.
Jon Stuart has headed up the contingency and lap sponsor program for several years now. This year set a record high with lap sponsors and contingencies totaling over $5,000.
The Woodhull 100 is a 100-lap event paying a cool $1,000-to-win and $100 just to take the green flag. Glenn Whritenour used patience and a bad fast racecar to take the race lead just before halfway in 2019 to win his second Woodhull 100. The win tied Whritenour with Kurt Stebbins for two wins a piece in this prestigious event. With over $11,000 in purse money and contingency money and prizes, the ‘Woodhull 100’ will not disappoint in 2020.

2015 Gene Balmer
2016 Kurt Stebbins
