STSS Schedule Update: Woodhull On Hold, Delaware International Now August 11
DELMAR, DE – The 2020 season has been one marked by
changes resulting from COVID-19. The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super
Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco has evolved with changing regulations and
continues to adjust for the month of August.
Due to prolonged restrictions in New York State, the ‘Hustlin the High Banks’ event at N.Y.’s Woodhull Raceway scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 11 has been placed “on hold� by the STSS and Woodhull Raceway promoters Terry and Nikki Brewer.
The August 11th date will now be filled by the rescheduled ‘Diamond State 50’ at Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Del., an event that had been pushed back from its late-April original spot on the schedule.
The ‘Diamond
State 50’ will once again be made possible by the support of title sponsor
Hurlock Auto & Speed Supply based in Hurlock, Md., and will feature both
the STSS Modifieds and STSS Crate 602 Sportsman in Velocita-USA South Region
presented by Design for Vision and Sunglass Central events.
The ‘Diamond
State 50’ will be the first of two series events in the First State in August.
The annual ‘Blast at the Beach’ co-promotion involving Eric Kormann and BD
Motorsports Media LLC at Del.’s Georgetown Speedway takes place on Tuesday,
Aug. 25 with the STSS Modifieds and Crate 602 Sportsman headlining the program.
“It’s been a
challenging year for auto racing in New York State,� STSS organizer Brett Deyo
said. “Looking at the scope of the current restrictions, we felt it best to
make the move now and adjust the Woodhull date. Should something change we will
obviously work to make the event up, but timing is critical and the current
landscape for racing in Delaware is much more favorable for our type of event.�
Deyo went on
to thank Hurlock Auto & Speed for assisting in the ‘Diamond State 50’
co-promotion with longtime Delaware International Speedway operator Charles
Cathell.
“Without
Alfred and Cheryl (Hughes), Shawn (Ward) and Hurlock Auto & Speed Supply
committing their support, we would not have been able to get this event in the
books.�
Current regulations allow for in-person attendance in the State of Delaware. Both the Delaware International and Georgetown events will be broadcast live on Dirt Track Digest TV (www.dirttrackdigest.tv) for those unable to attend.
Complete
information will be released on the Short Track Super Series website in the
coming days.
