Street Stock Showcase Headlines New Year's Bash

As always, the New Year's Bash is headlined by the Mid-Atlantic Street Stock 100-lap feature event on Sunday, January 4. The marquee event features the Street Stocks local to the Carolinas, but draws competition from all over the United States to the South Carolina facility.

Started in 2011, the New Year's Bash celebrates its 16th annual running in 2026. Gary Ledbetter, Jr. is the all-time wins leader in the event with six New Year's Bash victories. Last year, Bobbie Tumbleston, III claimed his second New Year's Bash triumph.

Dirt Late Models on Asphalt? A New Tradition at the Bash

Last year, one of the most popular additions to New Year's Bash weekend was a Dirt Late Model feature. Dillon Motor Speedway may be a paved 0.400-mile oval, but the Dirt Late Models slid and battled around the race track and put on a rousing show.

The Dirt Late Models are part of Saturday's feature program, giving fans plenty of reason to tune in on January 3. They'll be joined by the always-exciting Challenger AR division and their 75-lap feature. Legends, Crown Vics, and Stock V8s will also take the track on Saturday.

The Legends cars return on Sunday, with the Mini Stocks also joining the MASS Street Stocks on January 4.
