Short Track Super Series Prepares for August Delaware Invasion

DELMAR, DE – For the first time since March, the
Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco returns
to the First State not once, but twice, in August.

Delaware’s
two dirt tracks are thrust into the spotlight with August STSS events: the
Hurlock Auto & Speed ‘Diamond State 50’ at Delaware International Speedway
in Delmar, Del., Tuesday, Aug. 11 and the ‘Blast at the Beach’ at Georgetown
(Del.) Speedway Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Both events
are open to in-person attendance and will be streamed live by Dirt Track Digest
TV (www.dirttrackdigest.tv).

The ‘Diamond State 50’ - a traditional event at the Cathell family’s Delaware International Speedway - annually bring the Northeast’s biggest stars to Delmarva to compete at the half-mile clay oval.

The STSS
Modifieds take part in Race No. 5 of the Velocita-USA South Region presented by
Design for Vision and Sunglass Central in a 50-lap event offering a total purse
structure of more than $25,000 ($5,000 to win, $1,000 for 10th and
$400 to take the green).

STSS Crate
602 Sportsman, Delmarva Chargers and Delaware Super Trucks complete the program.

Matt Sheppard
(STSS Modified) and Jim Housworth (STSS Crate 602 Sportsman) topped the ‘Diamond
State 50’ winners a year ago.

Two weeks
after the ‘Diamond State 50’ attention turns approximately 20 miles to the
northeast when the historic Georgetown Speedway plays host to the ‘Blast at the
Beach’ annual co-promotion involving BD Motorsports Media LLC and Eric Kormann
on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

This event
has been run annually at Georgetown since 2014.

STSS
Modifieds race for a $6,000 winner’s share in a 35-lap battle around the
progressively banked clay track. STSS Crate 602 Sportsman, Delmarva Chargers
and Delaware Super Trucks complete the program.

Billy Pauch
Jr. (STSS Modified) and Thomas Sherby (STSS Crate 602 Sportsman) were last year’s
‘Blast at the Beach’ winners.
