The 2024 Sunset Speedway season opened on May 4 with the Steve Slaughter Classic.
The event included the Super Stock division. Twelve additional Super Stock weekends are on the Sunset calendar to determine the class champion.
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. The St. Onge Recreation Super Stocks championship held round five of the series during the 2nd Annual Junior Hanley Classic event. Drivers competed in a thirty-lap contest around Sunset Speedway's 0.333-mile banked asphalt oval. |

Shawn Chenoweth has been splitting his time between the APC United Late Model and Dayco Super Stock Series. His Late Model program has been challenging, so he has shifted his focus to his Super Stock campaign. Despite having a differential failure in the last Dayco round, he is fourth in the standings. Chenoweth won his heat race at Sunset Speedway and started the feature on the last row. He moved the No. 89C LRR Chevrolet Camaro to the front for the victory. |

He finished second in heat race two, driving the No. 29 HumberviewParts.ca Chevrolet Camaro, and started the feature on the pole. However, he was no match for Chenoweth. |
