* The first seven races were run under NASCAR sanction. The remaining events were run as an independant.
1978 was the final year of the asphalt 1/4 mile track at Utica-Rome. Over the off season, the speedway was sold, and it was converted to a 5/8 mile dirt oval.
Records graciously provided by Brian Spaid with the help of Andy Fusco.
Street Stock and Pure Stock records provided by Mark Southcott.
