Written by Chris Moore

VERNON, NY For the 26th time in the history of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco, a new track will be tamed.

On Thursday, July 22, the STSS Modifieds and Crate 602 Sportsman head to Utica-Rome Speedway, the newest addition to the BD Motorsports Media LLC stable, for the third of four series events to be contested in July.

The Home of Heroes™ will host Round No. 6 of the Hurlock Auto & Speed Supply North Region championship chase in the Richie Evans Remembered 61.™

The big-block/small-block Modifieds of the STSS will race for 61 laps around the smooth and fast Route 5-oval with a $6,100 payday up for grabs to the winner and a hefty $610 to take the green flag.

The race remembers one of the greats of Utica-Rome Speedway, as Richie Evans was a 33-time winner in his iconic orange No. 61 at the speedway and was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011.

The Precision Hydraulic & Oil Crate 602 Sportsman North Region will also be in action, as the Sportsman will go 25-laps for a $1,561 payday.

The Richie Evans Remembered 61,™ and every STSS event in 2021 will be broadcast LIVE on FloRacing (floracing.com) as part of the $150 annual subscription.
