Story By: KENNY SHUPP / WOODHULL RACEWAY – WOODHULL, NY – Dave’s Custom Logging along with the New York State Stock Car Association will present a Regular Great 8 Show at the Woodhull Raceway on August 12, 2023.
The Mighty Insinger Performance Modifieds will head up the card and they will be supported by the NAPA Crate Sportsman, Southern Tier Customs Streete Stocks, Doug Gross Construction RUSH Crate Late Models along with the KMD Excavation Hobby Stocks. Rounding out the night of great race action will be a trio of Big Jim’s Wicked Tee’s sponsored including the Mini Stocks, Front Wheel Drive’s, and the Youth Warriors.
And if that is not enough entertainment, the highly popular NY6A 600 Micro Sprints will make their annual trek to the high banked one-third of a mile clay oval as competitors will haul from as far away as three hours away to compete at the historic Steuben County facility.
Generally, the NY6A Sprints put on a spectacular show for the fans in attendance, racing around Woodhull at break-neck speeds.
In 2022, Scranton, Pa. pilot Mikey Smith came away victorious in the NY6A 600 Micro Sprint A-Main event.
Dave’s Custom Logging of Westfield, Pa. will team up with the New York State Stock Car Association to co-sponsor the August 11, 2023 program with both parties enjoying the night of great race action from the confines of the VIP Sponsor Towers high atop the massive front straight away grandstand seating area.
When the main gates open at 4:30 pm, the New York State Stock Car Association will conduct a brief Hall of Fame introduction for several of the greats that competed at Woodhull over the past decades.
Herbie Layfield, Don Lawson, Herbie Wright and Steve Hartman Sr. will all go into the NYSSCA Hall of Fame with the Morseman Family also receiving special recognition for their years of dedication to racing in the Southern Tier Region of Upstate New York.
The NYSSCA holds their Annual Awards Banquet during the off season in the greater Albany, NY region. However, members of the NYSSCA felt it best to introduce the newest Hall of Fame Members during their night of sponsorship at Woodhull rather than having all the inductees travel long distances during the winter months.
All fans and drivers are encouraged to attend this prestigious event which will be conducted at the rear of the grandstand seating area by the Siemens/Pepsi Victory Lane and the Seeley Family Junior Fan Booth.
Woodhull Raceway Public Relations Director, Kenny Shupp Jr. has been summoned to emcee this affair which is anticipated to last approximately one hour.
The New York State Stock Car Association is a highly acclaimed, long-standing organization in New York racing circles where anyone can join as a member. Traditionally the group supports numerous race venues across the Empire State and a multitude of different drivers have received monetary donations from the NYSCCA when they become injured in a race related accident.
In addition to the current points, the remainder of the 2023 schedule of events, class rules and purse structures, the history of the facility as well as track marketing partners and contacts can also be found on the web.
Camping is always free at the facility with those choosing to park at the rear of the parking area near the track watering pond.
Celebrating fifty-nine years of great racing action, the Woodhull Raceway is located on Cr. 102 just one mile off Rt. 417 in Woodhull, NY.
25 miles west of Corning, 25 miles east of Hornell, 25 miles south of Bath and 25 miles north of Wellsboro.
