Short Track Super Series
Mother Nature Wins ‘Sunshine Swing’ Opener, Double Program Planned for Friday
Written by Chris Moore
LAKE CITY, FL – Mother Nature won night number one of
the ‘Sunshine Swing’ at All-Tech Raceway.
The
Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco will
have to wait one more day to drop the green flag on racing at the half-mile
speedway.
Forty-two
STSS Modifieds and 31 Crate 602 Sportsman signed in at the pit gate to
participate in the first-ever STSS race in the state of Florida.
With
storms in the area all day, the skies opened up just as the fourth group went
out for hot laps to begin the night. Cars never returned to the track once the
rain began.
STSS
and All-Tech Raceway officials made the decision to make Friday a double
show.
Cars
will hit the speedway at approximately 5:30 p.m., running the full scheduled
show from this evening.
Following
the conclusion of the makeup event, there will be a brief intermission followed
by the full second show originally scheduled for Friday night.
The
Modifieds will race for $5,000 in the first show, followed by a $7,500 winner’s
share in the second event. The Crate 602 Sportsman will run for $1,250 in both
feature events tomorrow night.
Hot
laps hit the track at 5:30 p.m. Racing gets underway immediately following. The
events will be carried live on Dirt Track Digest TV.
