​February 21, 2020

To all weekly competitors.  As many of you have known I have been in discussions with NASCAR regarding the division alignment for the 2020 season.  I had once vision for Star with the Woody’s Street Stocks being the top division as they have come to earn that distinction and NASCAR had another vision with the Izzett Construction Late Models continuing to be the premier division.  Another point of discussion was the addition of the 350 Supermodifieds as a NASCAR sanctioned division this upcoming season.  They expressed that they did not wish to sanction this open wheel division even though it has been a division at Star and other tracks in the past.

Fast forward to today and the decision has been mutually decided upon that Star will not be a part of the NASCAR Weekly Series in 2020.  I did not want to budge from having Street Stocks as the top division this year as I feel they provide some of the best racing that the North East has to offer.  I hope that all competitors, in all divisions, will respect that I was trying to do what I felt was best for them and for the racing at Star.

Nothing will change at Star for the upcoming season.  While this will put us a little behind the proverbial eight ball now as we will now adjust the schedule some to add some race dates and adjust a few others we are still 110% committed to providing the best possible race events we can on Saturday nights.  Our divisions for 2020 will still consist of Izzett Construction Late Models, 350 Supermodifieds, Woodys Street Stocks, Brickyard Mini Stocks, Mia’s Jewelry Slingshots, Six Shooters, Pure Stocks and Star Troopers.  All of our special events with touring divisions and our Enduros will still continue on as planned.  We will have an updated schedule available done by the end of next week.  For now the schedule that was released can still be used as a base for planning purposes.  No more than two or three race dates will be affected for the 350 Supers and Late Models.  Street Stocks may have a few events added and our “B” night divisions may also have a few events added now that there is no need for a true “A” and “B” night type format.

Only a few license apps had been received at the NASCAR offices and you will be contacted by NASCAR to take care of this.  The few license apps that I have been holding for people that sent directly to me will be returned to you.  We will develop a Star license that will help to offset point funds for this upcoming season.  Your insurance will also not be affected, we will continue to offer a high level of insurance as we did in the years before we joined the NASCAR program in 2019.

I will provide a point fund for you in 2020 that will be equivalent to what NASCAR was offering for the 4 sanctioned divisions.  This will be from a combination of Star license revenue, division sponsor and Webber Family contributions.  Point funds will also be posted for all divisions that were a “B” night program thru the same contributions.
I look forward to continuing what we have started here at Star and look forward to continuing it with all the dedicated racers that have become a big part of the growing success here at Star.  If you have any questions please email me at bwebberjr19@gmail.com

Thank you all for the continued support.
