For the eighth consecutive year, Riverhead Raceway is continuing a cherished Modified tradition with the running of the Islip 300 on Saturday.

The event gets its name from the defunct Islip Speedway, which hosted six NASCAR Cup Series events between 1964 and 1971. After the Cup Series departed the 0.2-mile complex, the Islip 300 became a NASCAR Grand National East and All Star Racing League event before becoming synonymous with the popular Modified class.

No driver was more efficient in Islip’s endurance events than Modified legend and NASCAR Hall of Famer Richie Evans. A master around Islip’s compact layout regardless of the race distance, Evans prevailed in the final four 300-lap Modified races at the facility and continued to add wins there prior to the track’s closure in 1984.

Islip may now solely belong in the record books, but the complex and its prestigious Islip 300 left a lasting impact on the Modified community as it evolved over the following decades. In 2017, Riverhead Raceway revived the Islip 300 as a spiritual successor to the crown jewel event, which now serves as Riverhead’s season finale.

With the Islip 300 also being one of the last major Modified races of the year in the Northeast, it regularly attracts a healthy field of cars. Riverhead regulars will look to defend their territory against several Modified veterans as each of them look to add their name to the Islip 300’s growing legacy.

Below is everything to know about the 2025 edition of the Islip 300 at Riverhead Raceway.

Islip 300 entry list

Last year’s Islip 300 saw Riverhead Raceway regular Chase Grennan surprise many by besting many seasoned veterans to prevail in the prestigious event.

A native of Glen Cove, New York, Grennan primarily spent the 2024 season competing in Riverhead’s Crate Modified division. The Islip 300 was just his second Modified start of the year. Grennan enjoyed a solid season at Riverhead this year, where he collected three Modified victories to go with his Islip 300 victory last November.

Among the drivers looking to dethrone Greenan as Islip 300 champion is Matt Hirschman, a 10-time winner in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Hirschman won the Islip 300 in 2023 and seeks to cap off a stellar year of Modified competition around the country by joining Ryan Preece as a two-time winner of the event.

Paulie Hartwig III makes his return to the Islip 300 after his first attempt saw him earn the pole in 2023 at the age of 12. Now with more experience on his side, Hartwig heads to Riverhead looking to make a statement.

Other names set to compete in the Islip 300 on Saturday include Andy Jankowiak, Ken Heagy, Max Zachem, Roger Turbush, Joey Braun and Mark Stewart.
