Florida Speedweek/WinterNationals

The All Stars began racing in Florida in 1983, and since that time have sanctioned races in the Sunshine state at eight racetracks. East Bay leads the way with 70 events held, followed by Volusia Speedway Park with 52 races, Jax Raceways with 17, Ocala with 10, Florida Fairgrounds (7), Charlotte Co. Speedway (5), Putnam Co. (2) and a lone event at Lakeland.

Putnam County’s 1991 shows saw Kevin Huntley and Bobby Davis Jr. in victory lane, while Charlotte County’s five events fell to Kenny Jacobs in 1991, a pair to Dave Blaney in 1992, and Todd Kane and Tony Elliott won the 1993 pavement events.

The Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa hosted the All Stars in 1984, with Doug Wolfgang winning and Bobby Davis Jr. sweeping a pair of events in 1985 and Steve Kinser sweeping the 1986 double.
