Short Track Super Series
Stockley Tavern Offers $2,000 “Double-Down� Challenge for STSS August Sweep
DELMAR, DE – The month of August is lucrative for
the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco in
Delaware.
And it just got even better.
Stockley
Tavern, located just south of Georgetown Speedway on Route 113, has issued the ‘Delaware
Double-Down’ Challenge. The challenge applies to the upcoming STSS Modified
Hurlock Auto & Speed ‘Diamond State 50’ at Delaware International Speedway
Tuesday, Aug. 11 and the ‘Blast at the Beach’ at Georgetown Speedway Tuesday,
Aug. 25.
Should one
driver sweep the ‘Diamond State 50’ and ‘Blast at the Beach’ feature events
with back-to-back victories, that competitor will receive a cash bonus of $2,000!
If a single
driver is not able to win both events, the driver with the best average finish
between the two races will take home $1,000.
The tiebreaker will be the finishing order of the ‘Blast at the Beach’ event at
Georgetown.
“This is a lucrative incentive program tying together our two August events in the state of Delaware,� STSS promoter Brett Deyo said. “Linking the events together will only create more excitement for the fans and provide another avenue to cash in for our racers.�

Tavern is your neighborhood bar and package store for nearly 70 years offering
the “coldest beer in town� and a delicious menu. The newly renovated package

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

Design for Vision and Sunglass Central in a 50-lap event offering a total purse

program.

‘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.
