STOKE Shoes, known for its innovative wide-fit performance sneakers, has officially partnered with Star Speedway, marking a significant step into the world of grassroots motorsports. This collaboration aims to enhance the experience for team members, officials, and fans as the racing season approaches.

A Perfect Fit for Motorsports

The partnership enables STOKE Shoes to connect with the enthusiastic racing community at Star Speedway, a prime venue in the Northeast known for its dynamic weekly racing events. Star Speedway hosts various categories including 350 Supermodifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, and Trucks, pulling together a passionate community comprised of racers, teams, and devoted fans.

STOKE Shoes was created with the comfort of individuals who spend extended periods on their feet in mind. With a focus on wide-fit comfort, breathability, and continuous support, these shoes are poised to meet the demands of the racing environment, ensuring that trackside operations run smoothly.

Providing Comfort at the Track

As part of this exciting new partnership, members of the Star Speedway’s safety crew and officials will don STOKE Shoes during race events. This initiative aims to enhance their comfort and endurance throughout long race days. The crew, coined the “STOKE Safety Crew,” will actively support track operations and safety management during the races and caution periods.

Moreover, STOKE’s presence will extend to the Bobby Webber Racing (BWR) Tour Type Modified No. 19. This New England-based racing team competes regularly at Star Speedway and various other regional events. Such visibility not only highlights the brand's commitment to the motorsport community but also reinforces the brand's high-performance capabilities.

Engaging with Fans

Fans can look forward to a range of engaging initiatives during the 2026 racing season. STOKE Shoes plans to introduce promotional giveaways and unique event-based offers at the racetrack. These activities aim to foster a connection between the brand and the fans, creating memorable experiences throughout the year.

Rick Blackshaw, Co-Founder of STOKE Shoes, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "This is STOKE in its element. Long days, real intensity, and people on their feet from start to finish; it’s the perfect environment for our wide-fit shoes. Partnering with Star Speedway was a clear choice for us."

Tim Webber, Marketing Director at Star Speedway, echoed this sentiment, noting, "Partnering with STOKE Shoes enhances the comfort and functionality for our team. It showcases the reality of race day – for everyone involved, from the officials to the fans in the stands."
