2021 “RICK WYLIE CLASSIC 48” TO BE A RACE OF CHAMPIONS SUPER STOCK SERIES EVENT ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 28. 2021

The high banks of Holland (N.Y.) International Speedway will roar to life on Saturday, August 28, 2021 with a huge night of racing which will honor several Western New York racing traditions.

The inaugural “Rick Wylie Classic 48” took place at Lake Erie Speedway during the pandemic as a Late Model race . Jerrick Johnson of Mooresville, N.C., captured the victory.

In 2021 the race will take on a different look as the Race of Champions Super Stocks will run on the high banks for 48-laps as the featured division in the “Rick Wylie Cllassic”.

“For the 2021 edition our family has decided to go the direction of the Super Stocks.” stated Scott Wylie. “We are completely aware that my Dad’s name is synonymous with the Late Model division, however we felt this was a move that needed to be made for multiple reasons in 2021. We are committed to the event returning to the Late Model division and hope that over time the division will rebound and this can happen.”

Race of Champions management recently hosted a meeting with several Late Model owners and drivers in regard to this. Plans and news in regard to the 2022 season will be released shortly.

The Super Stocks will be joined by a 52-lap race for the Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series, which will bring back the feature event total for the two divisions, to 100-laps in honor of the traditional “Bud 100” which was a Holland staple event for many years.

The Race of Champions Late Models, T.Q. Midgets and Four Cylinder Dash Series will also join the card for the night.

Detailed scheduling and ticket pricing will be released in the near future.
