Short Track Super Series
Short Track Super Series to Sanction Penn Can Speedway’s Modified ‘King of the Can’
SUSQUEHANNA, PA – BD Motorsports Media LLC will
experience a homecoming on September 26 and competitors of the Bob Hilbert
Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco will benefit.
In an
agreement with Penn Can Speedway promoter Gary Folk, the Modified portion of
the ‘King of the Can’ event on Saturday, September 26 will operate under the
sanction of the Short Track Super Series. The 55-lap event offers a very
lucrative purse structure offering $5,555 to win (plus lap money), $1,000 for
10th and $400 to take the green flag.
Due to
COVID-19 restrictions in New York State, the Halmar International North Region
for Modifieds has been limited to two events thus far: Big Diamond Speedway in
Minersville, Pa., June 16 and Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway on July 5.
The ‘King of
the Can’ will serve as the final North Region event of the season and operate
on the 150-point structure.
In an effort
to reward competitors for supporting the limited North Region events that had
been run, a 33-percent point fund will be paid. The three-race point fund
distribution will be as follows: 1 - $4,000; 2 - $2,300; 3 - $1,325; 4 -
$1,000; 5 - $825; 6 - $660; 7 - $580; 8 - $545; 9 - $510; 10 - $480; 11 - $330;
12 - $330. The total distributed will be $12,885.
“With the
unfortunate limitations in place for New York State tracks, it has been
difficult to complete our North Region schedule this year,� STSS organizer
Brett Deyo said. “Having completed two Modified events, sanctioning the ‘King
of the Can’ will allow us to declare a champion and offer racers a point fund
for supporting the events we have run.
“The Folk
family has done an outstanding job reviving Penn Can Speedway this season. We’re
looking forward to returning there.�
A very robust payout has been posted for this event as follows: 1 - $5,555; 2 - $3,000; 3 - $2,500; 4 - $2,000; 5 - $1,500; 6 - $1,400; 7 - $1,300; 8 - $1,200; 9 - $1,100; 10 - $1,000; 11 - $900; 12 - $800; 13 - $700; 14 - $600; 15 - $500; 16-Last - $400. Provisional Starters (-$200).
Mike Gular, a
former Penn Can champion, currently leads the North Region standings. View the
