Islip 300 at Riverhead Raceway 2026: TV channel, live stream, entry list, schedule, more for prestigious Modified event

The history of racing on Long Island goes back decades and includes multiple bygone speedways that have long since faded into memory. On Saturday night, Riverhead Raceway will honor the history of one of those speedways with the 10th running of the Islip 300.

Taking its name from the defunct Islip Speedway, the Islip 300 is one of the biggest Modified events in the Northeast. Islip Speedway, which ceased operation in 1984, was a popular, 0.2-mile asphalt short track that welcomed the NASCAR Cup Series six times and held weekly racing for the popular Modified division.

Drivers like Don Howe, Wayne Anderson, Charlie Jarzombek, Fred Harbach, Al DeAngelo were among the men to beat in the Modified division through the years at Islip. Success at the Long Island oval often meant success elsewhere, with Howe, Anderson and Jarzombek finding success with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour down the road.

To honor the history and legacy left behind by Islip Speedway, Riverhead revived the track's crown-jewel event. Beginning in 2017 and held every year since, the Islip 300 serves as a spiritual successor to the event won by stars like Richard Petty, Bobby Isaac and Bobby Allison.

More than 25 drivers have filed entries in pursuit of this year's $12,000 top prize. Below is everything to know about the 2026 edition of the Islip 300 at Riverhead Raceway.

Entry list

One year after scoring the biggest win of his career, Joey Braun is back in search of another victory in Riverhead Raceway's Islip 300.

He's one of 29 drivers who have filed entries for Saturday's Modified extravaganza. The entry list represents some of the best Modified drivers in the region as well as some of Riverhead Raceway's top local competitors.

Headlining the list of drivers hoping to deny Braun a second consecutive Islip 300 win is recently crowned NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Patrick Emerling. Having already proven capable of winning at Riverhead thanks to his triumph in Modified Tour competition at the track earlier this year, Emerling will look to add an Islip 300 trophy to his growing trophy case.

Also entered is Matt Hirschman, who is one of the eight previous winners of the Islip 300. Hirschman, who won the event in 2023, will look to join Ryan Preece as the only other multi-time Islip 300 winner. Dillon Steuer and Chase Grennan, also previous Islip 300 winners, are also among the 29 entries for Saturday's event.

Other notable entries include Paulie Hartwig III, who won the pole for the 2023 Isliip 300 at the age of 12, J.R. Bertuccio, Ryan Flores, Carson Loftin, 2026 track champion Owen Grennan, Timmy Solomito and Mark Stewart.
