AFTON, NY
– If the 10th anniversary Short Track
SuperNationals wasn’t enough, Columbus Day weekend (October 6-7) at Afton
Motorsports Park will be even more exciting for fans and lucrative for racers.
Thanks to
American Racer, regional distributor Lias Tire of Indiana, Pa., and Sunoco Race
Fuels, area track champions will have the opportunity to face off at the
fairgrounds facility.
The
American Racer Cup weekend and Short Track SuperNationals have merged for one
huge weekend event in 2017.
All
American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Modified champions have been extended
invitations for Match Races on the Short Track SuperNationals Saturday portion
(October 7). Drivers participating in the Match Races will receive a
certificate for a FREE American Racer tire.
The
winner of the ‘king of the hill’ style Modified match races will receive $2,000
cash.
Sportsman
drivers will take part in a similar program on Friday night (October 6). All
American Racer Cup Open and Crate 602 Sportsman champions have been invited for
Match Races. The Sportsman Match Race winner earns $1,000; all participants
receive a certificate for a FREE American Racer tire.
All
season-long, home-track American Racer Cup Modified and Sportsman certificates
will be available for pick-up at Afton for those in attendance.
For the
first time ever, Street Stocks will have their own “champion’s challenge” event
during the American Racer Cup/Short Track SuperNationals. Area Street Stock
tracks utilizing American Racer tires have the opportunity to send their
champions to a 15-lap Dash during the Saturday portion of the show.
The
15-lap Dash will pay $500 to win and all participants will receive a
certificate for a FREE American Racer tire.
Two very
full days of racing are on the docket at Afton.
Friday
night, joining the Sportsman American Racer Cup Match Races, are the Bob
Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP Sportsman finale
offering 35 laps, $1,500 to win (*with $20 “Gambler’s Fee” posted) and $125 to
take the green plus CRSA Sprints, FWD Four Cylinders ($250 to win, $40 to
start) and Modified and Street Stock practice, both with incentives.
Saturday
is topped by the eighth round of the STSS Halmar International North Region for
big-block/small-block Modifieds paying $5,000 to win and $400 to start plus
Trackside Products Street Stocks paying $1,000 to win, IMCA-Modifieds in a
$400-to-win special and Vintage Modifieds (open to all cars).
