Short Track Super Series
Fans Welcome as York County Nationals Celebrates Fifth Running Sunday at BAPS Motor Speedway
NEWBERRYTOWN, PA – It’s an event that never disappoints.
This Sunday
(July 19), the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By
Sunoco Modifieds make their fifth appearance at BAPS Motor Speedway for the
mid-summer York County Nationals.
Fans are
welcome to attend the event, which will also be streamed live on Dirt Track
Digest TV (www.dirttrackdigest.tv).
The 50-lap
big-block/small-block Modified clash has provided its share of thrills on the
red clay oval since the debut of the series at then Susquehanna Speedway in
August 2016.
There have
been four different winners in as many events contested at BAPS with the STSS.
On August 7,
2016, Anthony Perrego appeared destined for Victory Lane. A flat tire ended his
hopes and Ryan Godown emerged with the win over Ryan Watt, Jeff Strunk, Stewart
Friesen and Jimmy Horton.
Erick Rudolph
utilized a late-race restart to snag the lead from Friesen on July 30, 2017 for
his first STSS victory. Friesen, Craig Von Dohren, Strunk and Frank Cozze
completed the front five.
After pitting
twice, Matt Sheppard roared through the field on July 29, 2018, passing Friesen
to put the Hurlock Auto & Speed No. 9s in Victory Lane. Friesen, Watt, Godown and Andy Bachetti
finished second through fifth, respectively.
After
back-to-back runner-up finishes, Friesen gained retribution July 14, 2019,
fending off Sheppard, Jared Umbenhauer, Strunk and Bachetti.
A
50-lap feature again highlights the program, with $5,000 reserved for the
winner, $1,000 for the 10th-place finisher and $400 just to take the
green flag. A number of special awards and bonuses are also in place for this
event.
For
the 2020 edition, gates open at 4 p.m. Hot laps hit the track at 6:20 p.m.,
with racing at 7 p.m.
Adult
admission is $25. Seniors (ages 60 and over) and Students (ages 13-17) pay $15.
