Momentum Building For Tuesday, June 7 'Clash at the Can' At Penn Can Speedway; $8,000 Reserved For Winner Of 60-lap Race of Champions Event
SUSQUEHANNA, PA – No BS! The VP Racing Fuels Short Track Four Crown presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. is set to kick off in unprecedented fashion.
"Making history, one dollar at a time" is the theme of the second annual 'Clash at the Can' 60-lap big-block/small-block Modified event to be contested at the Susquehanna, Pa., one-third-mile oval on Tuesday, June 7. The 'Clash at the Can' event - first run in 2010 - is a co-promotion involving Brett Deyo and speedway managers Reed Miller and Al Wilcox. Year No. 2 of the 'No BS. No Politics. Real Racing' events at Penn Can should surpass the overwhelmingly successful shows presented last summer.
A whopping $8,000 is reserved for the victor of the Race of Champions Dirt Modified Tour-sanctioned event: the highest winner's share ever paid in the history of Penn Can Speedway. Additionally, the night's total Modified purse - $21,450 - is an unprecedented number for the facility centrally located on the Keystone State side of the Pennsylvania/New York border.
While the winner's share of $8,000 has been widely publicized, race teams will be pleased to know every position will receive additional cash at the payoff window. A total purse increase of 34 percent over the '10 edition of the 'Clash at the Can' has been put into place.
'Clash at the Can' sponsors include VP Racing Fuels, Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc., Plant Food Company and Reading Plastic Fabricators.
Manmiller Electric has signed on board to sponsor the 'Clash at the Can' heat races. All heat winners will receive $50 cash. Manmiller Electric is owned by noted dirt Modified racer Doug Manmiller. Consolation events are presented by Dirt Track Digest. On the web at www.dirttrackdigest.com, "If it's on dirt, it's on Dirt Track Digest!"
Last year, the first edition of the 'Clash at the Can' was a study in diversity, with Penn Can regular Brett Tonkin, New York superstar Danny Johnson, Pennsy racer Duane Howard and Canadian Stewart Friesen in the mix. After an extended side-by-side battle with Tonkin, Howard emerged the victor driving the BPG Racing No. 4 Troyer.
Penn Can's layout ensures money, fresh rubber and horsepower don't guarantee success, making the 'Clash at the Can' favorable to low-dollar, weekly teams. Tire wear is non-existent. No conflicts on the dirt Modified calendar will allow the touring series stars and Pennsylvania/New Jersey teams to invade the facility. The makings of an all-star field are in place.

A handful of drivers took part in the April 22 Penn Can Speedway opener to shake down for the 'Clash at the Can' including red-hot Pennsylvania driver Jeff Strunk (who won the 40-lap event driving for Norm Hansell) and World of Outlaws Late Model star Tim McCreadie (who finished third in Vinnie Salerno's No. 4).
For drivers following the entire 13-race RoC tour, the 'Clash at the Can' holds added significance. The event offers championship points toward the overall crown.
There have been 11 RoC events held at Penn Can since the tour's inception in 2005 with a who's-who of past winners including Stewart Friesen, Howard and Pat Ward in addition to active local stars Joey Grammes, Alan Rudalavage and Brian Weaver.
The 'Clash at the Can' race winner earns a guaranteed starting position - a $500 value - in the New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway Friends of Mike special July 30.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:45 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m. The 'Clash at the Can' has a rain date of Wednesday, June 8.
Additionally, the event serves as Round No. 1 of the four-race VP Racing Fuels Short Track Four Crown presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. which also includes the 'Hot Summer Night' at Penn Can (Aug. 9), fourth edition of the Short Track SuperNationals at Five Mile Point (N.Y.) Speedway (Oct. 8) and Penn Can 'King of the Can' (Oct. 16).
Drivers attending all four Short Track Four Crown events will be eligible for contingency prizes at year end. Points will be kept during the year with an overall champion announced following the ‘King of the Can’ 50-lapper. The growing list of contingency award sponsors can be found on the BD Motorsports Media website: www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com.
