Woodhull’s Ready For A Very “Refreshing Show” Saturday, Including 270 Micro Sprints
Story By: STEVEN OVENS / WOODHULL RACEWAY – WOODHULL, NY – Nothing quenches your thirst during the dog days of Summer like an ice cold Pepsi- the official soft drink of Woodhull Raceway. Saturday night though- Woodhull Raceway fans will have something a little different to quench their thirst for racing.
As has been an annual tradition, the 270 Micro Sprints will invade “New York’s Toughest Bullring” for their one and only date on the track’s rather altered 2020 schedule. For the 270’s, whipping around Woodhull is like slinging a Cup Series car at Talladega and a welcome date on their annual schedule.
“We love having the 270’s here because they love racing here and it shows with the racing they put on,” said Woodhull Raceway co-owner Nikki Brewer.
“It’s just unfortunate that we can’t have fans here to see it in person. But we encourage everyone to tune in on our live streamed video thanks to support from our partners at Pepsi, Alfred State and Race Pro Weekly.”
Of note, the remaining make up features will not be made up this week and will be made up at a date soon on the schedule. Track officials elected not to run them this weekend with the addition of the 270 micros.
This week’s program will feature all weekly divisions including the Insinger Performance Modifieds, NAPA Crate Sportsman, Cummings Trucking Crate Late Models, Joe Willcox Performance Automatics Street Stocks, Woodhull Auto Supply Hobby Stocks, Wicked Tees Mini Stocks, Johnson Auto Front Wheel Drives and the Wicked Tees Warriors.
The Pits will open at 3:30PM with the driver’s meeting scheduled for 5:45PM at the pit shack. Hot Laps will fire off at 6PM and the first green flag from Tony Van Pelt will fly at 6:30PM. Pit passes are set at $35 with Pit Passes for ages under 12 being a reduced price of $20. All divisions will be draw/redraw, transponders will be used.
In lieu of fans being able to attend the race program in the grandstands, there will be a live video feed provided on the Woodhull Raceway Twitch & YouTube pages. Race fans are encouraged to make a small donation for the live video coverage, which goes directly toward the driver’s point fund for 2020.
