The Figure 8 course shared the north and south turns with the oval and crisscrossed using lanes paved through the infield. The first Figure 8 race was held on August 11, 1962. The popular Figure 8 class became a regularly featured division from the time of its inception until the track's final date of operation September 8, 1984. </p><p>In 1964, track promoter Larry Mendelsohn conceived the idea of hosting the first "Figure 8 World Championship" event and sold his idea to ABC-TV, who would film the daytime event for broadcast at a later date on their popular Saturday afternoon television show, <i>ABC's Wide World of Sports</i>. To draw out-of-town competitors, Mendelsohn would guarantee a starting spot in the feature event to all Figure 8 division track champions who would travel to Long Island and represent their home track, hoping to claim the title of "World Champion". The remaining starting positions were determined through heat races. The "Demolition Derby World Championship" was held immediately following the "Figure 8 World Championship" feature race and was also taped for future broadcast on <i>ABC's Wide World of Sports</i>. These broadcasts led to increased exposure and notoriety of the track, which came to be known as "World Famous Islip Speedway". Figure 8 drivers who won the title and were crowned "Figure 8 World Champion" at Islip were: 1963- Larry Wood, <a href="/wiki/Northport,_New_York" title="Northport, New York">Northport, NY</a>; 1964-Benny Giaraputo, <a href="/wiki/West_Islip,_New_York" title="West Islip, New York">West Islip, NY</a>; 1965-Art Cox, <a href="/wiki/Anderson,_Indiana" title="Anderson, Indiana">Anderson, IN</a>; 1966-Forrest Halliburton, <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis, IN</a>; 1967-Richie Gomes, <a href="/wiki/Brentwood,_New_York" title="Brentwood, New York">Brentwood, NY</a>; 1968-Richard Simmons, <a href="/wiki/Plymouth,_Michigan" title="Plymouth, Michigan">Plymouth, MI</a>; 1969-Aaron Coller, <a href="/wiki/Tampa,_Florida" title="Tampa, Florida">Tampa, FL</a>; 1970-Lester Slone, <a href="/wiki/Pinellas_Park,_Florida" title="Pinellas Park, Florida">Pinellas Park, FL</a>; 1971 &amp; 1973-Sonny Thompson, Indianapolis, IN; 1972- Bobby Lane, <a href="/wiki/Bay_Shore,_New_York" title="Bay Shore, New York">Bay Shore, NY</a>; 1974 &amp; 1975-Carl Voelker, <a href="/wiki/Islip,_New_York" title="Islip, New York">Islip NY</a>; 1976 &amp; 1979-Chuck Hall, <a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio" title="Toledo, Ohio">Toledo, OH</a>; 1977-Quinn Vollgraff, <a href="/wiki/Ronkonkoma,_New_York" title="Ronkonkoma, New York">Ronkonkoma, NY</a>; 1978-Allen Brock, <a href="/wiki/Medford,_New_York" title="Medford, New York">Medford, NY</a>; 1980-Eddie Sutton, <a href="/wiki/Crownsville,_Maryland" title="Crownsville, Maryland">Crownville, MD</a>; 1981, 1982 &amp; 1983-Doug Huber, <a href="/wiki/Bellport,_New_York" title="Bellport, New York">Bellport, NY</a>; 1984-Chuck Hlatky, Ronkonkoma, NY. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="NASCAR_racing">NASCAR racing</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Islip_Speedway&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: NASCAR racing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Islip Speedway hosted six races from 1964 to <a href="/wiki/1971_Islip_250" title="1971 Islip 250">1971</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-nascar_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nascar-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> skipping the years 1969 and 1970.<sup id="cite_ref-genesis_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-genesis-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Richard_Petty" title="Richard Petty">Richard Petty</a> won the last NASCAR race at Islip<sup id="cite_ref-genesis_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-genesis-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-streets_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-streets-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> by two laps.<sup id="cite_ref-petty_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-petty-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Others who have won at Islip include <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Allison" title="Bobby Allison">Bobby Allison</a><sup id="cite_ref-history_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-history-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Billy_Wade_(NASCAR)" class="mw-redirect" title="Billy Wade (NASCAR)">Billy Wade</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-genesis_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-genesis-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> NASCAR stopped coming to Islip Speedway when the organization axed all races shorter than 250 miles (400&#160;km) from its schedule.<sup id="cite_ref-nascar_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nascar-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Islip_Speedway&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:M10JohnnyCoyIslip.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Legendary race driver Johnny Coy at Islip Speedway behind the wheel of the Vitucci midget number 10.
