Billy Decker Kicks Off Defense of Short Track Super Series North Region Title Sunday at Orange County Fair Speedway

MIDDLETOWN, NY – In January, Billy Decker was at the
pinnacle of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled
By Sunoco world.

Decker was
honored as the 2018 STSS Halmar International North Region champion for the
first time in his career, taking home $12,500 from the Bear Creek Mountain Resort
for team owner Jeremy Smith.

Unfortunately
for the Sidney, N.Y., driver, the 2019 STSS season started on a sour note when
he launched into a series of barrel rolls down the backstretch at the
Georgetown (Del.) Speedway Melvin L. Joseph Memorial. The incident caused
extensive damage to Decker’s Jeremy Smith Racing No. 91.

But Decker will be back. This Sunday, April 7 at Orange
County Fair Speedway to be exact.

“We’re good
to go for Sunday,� Decker said when contacted on Monday morning.

Decker will
look to defend his STSS Halmar International North Region crown starting this
Sunday with the Escape RV ‘Hard Clay Open’ at the Legendary House of Power. The
100th anniversary Orange County Fair Speedway season gets underway
with the STSS big-block/small-block Modifieds racing 50 laps for $11,919 to win
and $700 to take the green flag.

OCFS once
again bookends the STSS Halmar International North Region Modified season,
presenting the first and last events en route to the $12,500 championship.

Crate 602
Sportsman complete the open-wheel doubleheader in a 20-lap, $1,000-to-win main
event under OCFS weekly rules.

Decker leads
a returning STSS cast of contenders Sunday that will include all of last year’s
top-10 point finishers plus a host of other invaders in what is certain to be
an all-star cast.
