The Chemung (N.Y.) Speedrome Hobby Stocks have quickly established themselves as a competitive and entertaining division, providing an entry-level opportunity for racers in the Southern Tier region. After requests from competitors and discussions with Chemung Speedrome promoter Ray Hodge, the decision was made to include the division in the prestigious Lake Erie event.

“The Hobby Stocks have been a great addition to our program at Chemung,” stated Hodge. “We are looking forward to them having an opportunity to compete at Lake Erie Speedway, a track that will suit the division well. It should be a great addition to the event.”

The Hobby Stocks will race for $400-to-win and $125-to-start. All cars must follow the Chemung Speedrome Hobby Stock Rules, which can be found at: 2024 HOBBY STOCK RULES – chemung-speedrome.com/post/_docs/Rules_HobbyStock.pdf.
