Riverhead Raceway has seven racing divisions: Modified, Figure Eight, Late Model, Charger, Blunderbust, Super Pro Truck, and Legends. It hosts races for the Whelen All-American Series and the Whelen Modified Tour. Other events include demolition derby, school bus racing, monster trucks, enduro, car rollover, train race (however not run in several years), one-on-one spectator drag (yet taken off after 2009), and go-karts. Notable drivers who used to race at Riverhead Raceway include Greg Sacks, Steve Park, Charlie Jarzombek, Brett Bodine, Tom Baldwin, and Donny Lia.
