ABOUT THE HOT SHOE 100

The Hot Shoe 100 race started as an idea, born out of a passion for racing by the Gray family of Petoskey, Michigan to help local families and friends cope with the impact of cancer.

We have all watched someone we love fight cancer, and we have been inspired by their courage.  Hope is what drives us.

 

What started as an idea sketched on paper has turned into a marquee event in the United States in five short years.

 

The Inaugural Hot Shoe 100 was held in August, 2014 at Whittemore Speedway and was so well attended and received, the idea took on a life of its own.

Since 2014, the race weekend has raised more than $35,000 for local cancer charities and continues to grow.

 

On the track, Brian Nester from Hamilton, Indiana has won four of the five previous events (2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018). The lone competitor to dethrone the Modified pilot was Tyler Shullick (Vermillion, OH) in 2016.
