WOODHULL, NY – The richest-ever event at Woodhull Raceway continues to get more lucrative!
Maple City Dodge of Hornell, N.Y., has “sweetened the pot” for the ‘Hustlin’ the High Banks 51’ at the high-banked, paperclip-shaped facility on Tuesday, August 11 (rain date: August 12).

Each of the 10-lap STSS Modified heat races will offer $100 cash to the winner thanks to the support of Maple City Dodge. Additionally, each heat race will have a Hard Charger Award for the driver advancing the most positions from the scheduled starting position to the finish. The heat-race Hard Charger recipient earns $50 cash.
