I believe Lancaster National Speedway truly appreciates their Street Stocks.  That's why they've been scheduled for Sunday of U.S. Open weekend.
2021 Next: Bubba Raceway, Volusia Speedway, New Smyrna Speedway.

I have been raving about this division before the season even started. This class was in single digits before the "great season cancellation of 2014". The 2014 US Open helped to start the revival with 28 cars in a thrilling Asphalt vs. Dirt Street Stock shootout. The Street Stocks started 2015 back in single digits, but got up to the high teens a couple times late in the year as drivers came over from other tracks and new drivers got involved. The 2015 US Open was a glimpse into the near feature with 23 cars on hand.

Going into 2016 there were 25 cars registered with a handful of drivers deciding to making Lancaster their new weekly track. So far this season there has been an average of about 19 cars per week with a high of 25 on 8/6. There have been 8 different winners, including 3 first time winners. 34 different drivers have earned points in 2016.

And, yes, as a reward the Street Stocks were put on the Sunday portion of US Open weekend where they will run a 35-lap feature.

The other thing to note is that by management moving heats and features to the same day for each class is a great move from a drivers perspective! For more than one reason.

Who would want to bring their car to Holland? To win 750.00?? By the time the race was over, they would likely have 2000.00 in damage to there car. This is no way directed at you Tim. Every class out there is a demolition derby! It seems if you can't pass someone, it is ok to wreck them. The track can't afford to lose any more cars, so they just let it continue instead of handling the situation. I have been going to Holland since I was kid, it is very sad what it has become.
