VP Racing Fuels Supports "Champion's Challenge" At Oct. 8 Short Track SuperNationals; American Racer Cup Track Champions Battle For $650 Top Prize At Five Mile Point "Working Man's Race"
KIRKWOOD, NY - Track champions from the American Racer East Coast Modified Cup will square off at Five Mile Point Speedway on Oct. 8.
VP Racing Fuels has signed on to support the "Champion's Challenge" event during the fourth Short Track SuperNationals at the Kirkwood, N.Y., quarter-mile oval. All headline Modified champions from American Racer Cup 2011 member tracks are eligible to compete in the event with $650 reserved for the race winner. Every participant will be paid. The number of laps will be determined by the number of drivers competing. The event will be run in elimination race format. The last-place driver will drop off each lap until a winner is decided.
"We always like to recognize the champions at the SuperNationals," event promoter Brett Deyo said. "This year we are switching up the format after talking with some of the eligible drivers. Fans should enjoy seeing champions from different venues competing against each other on neutral ground at Five Mile Point."
Previous SuperNationals winners in champions' events were Stewart Friesen of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. ('10) and Jeff Strunk of Bechtelsville, Pa. ('09). Both drivers will be back to do battle again this season.
The fourth running of the Short Track SuperNationals is headlined by a 50-lap big-block/small-block Modified event paying $5,000 to the winner with a $20 "gambler's fee" plus bonuses and lap money. The event offers $300 to take the green flag - an increase of $100 over last season - thanks to a marketing agreement with Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. of Schuylkill Haven, Pa.
Trackside Products Race of Champions Street Stocks (25 laps), a Four Cylinder Open (18 laps) and a Figure Eight World Championship paying $1,000 to win complete the "split program" which will see support-division qualifying take place in the afternoon. The entire Modified portion of the show is reserved for the evening.

Five Mile Point pit gates unlock at 2 p.m. Grandstand gates open at 3 p.m. Race of Champions Street Stocks and Four Cylinders will have hot laps at 4 p.m. with their qualifying events to follow at 4:45 p.m. Figure Eight hot laps will also take place during this period.
On-track activity for big-block/small-block Modifieds begins at 5:45 p.m. with hot laps. Heat races for the Modifieds get underway promptly at 6:30 p.m. Modifieds will not be on the speedway prior to 5:45 p.m.
For just $40, a family of five can attend the SuperNationals and eat/drink! The 'Family Five Pack' offers two Adult tickets, three Youth (ages 13-17) or Senior (ages 62 and over) tickets plus five hot dogs and five sodas. Do the math: it's just $8 per person!
Tickets purchased individually are also well below the industry norm for Modified special events. Adults are $18, Youth and Seniors are $14 and Kids 12 and under are FREE.
All racing activity will be held on the Saturday portion (Oct. 8) of the program, eliminating hotel costs for budget-minded race teams. Friday night (Oct. 7) will be reserved for an open practice session from 6-9 p.m. Gates open Friday at 5 p.m.
Pit admission is $30 for the Saturday event (Oct. 8) while Friday night's (Oct. 7) open practice is $20. Grandstand admission is FREE for Friday practice.
Joining Pioneer Pole Buildings as corporate partners of the event include VP Racing Fuels, Alpine Building & Post Supply, Bob Hilbert Sportswear and Trackside Products.
In its four-year existence, the SuperNationals has gained a reputation as a racer- and fan-friendly event. A healthy purse and open rules package annually attracts a diverse cross-section of talented weekend racers to do battle.
Last year, Modified upstart Justin Holland of White Lake, N.Y., shocked the 72-car field, holding off Billy Pauch Jr. of Frenchtown, N.J., for the SuperNationals victory, bringing home cash and prizes totaling nearly $7,000! Kevin Hirthler of Boyertown, Pa., was the 2009 SuperNationals victor and Mike Ricci of Rosendale, N.Y., topped the inaugural at Afton (N.Y.) Speedway in 2006.
A $1,000 cash bonus for the Modifieds is in place should one driver win both the SuperNationals at Five Mile Point on Saturday (Oct. 8) and the new 'Outlaw 100' event at Brewerton (N.Y.) Speedway on Thursday night (Oct. 6). The highest-finishing driver from Brewerton's Thursday field not to qualify at Five Mile Point Saturday will be added to the main event.
