In 2020, arrangements were made for the popular Super Stock division to compete as a support event at three APC United Late Model Series rounds.
Contests were conducted at Sauble Speedway and Sunset Speedway, with the finale at Jukasa Motor Speedway.
In 2021, the class received backing from Qwick Wick Fire Starters for the inaugural five-race championship. This year Dayco Belts and Hoses has
replace Qwick Wick as the series primary sponsor.
There are five Dayco Super Stock Series events this season.
- Saturday, June 15 - Peterborough Speedway
- Friday, June 28 - Delaware Speedway
- Saturday, July 13 - Flamboro Speedway
- Saturday, August 10 - Sunset Speedway
- Friday, September 6 - Delaware Speedway
The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the ‘60s to the current year.
The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies.
Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods;
however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate
motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a ‘stepping stone’ for those
drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category.
A new restart procedure was introduced last year by series officials for the APC United Late Model and Dayco Super Stock
divisions called the 'choose rule.' On restarts, competitors are allowed to choose their lane.
Their selection may be determined by the condition of the track,
how many cars are ahead of them or the handling of their vehicle.
If a driver changes their choice after the designated 'choose spot,' they must start from the rear of the field.
Round two of the 2024 Dayco Super Stock Series was held at Delaware Speedway during the Canada Day Race Weekend.
Drivers would compete in a fifty-lap contest around the ½-mile semi-banked asphalt oval.
