$10,000 Penn Can Speedway 'Clash at the Can' Gets Richer: Trackside Products Posts Lucrative Halfway Bonus; G&G Towing & Scrap Recycling Joins As Associate; Contingency Awards Adding Up
SUSQUEHANNA, PA - The anticipated 'Clash at the Can' to be held at Penn Can Speedway continues to get richer.
The highest-paying event in Penn Can Speedway's history, dating back to August 1952, takes center stage on Tuesday, June 12. The 60-lap Race of Champions Dirt Modified Tour big-block/small-block event offers $10,000 to the winner from a total purse that also sets a speedway record. The event offers $300 to take the green flag.
History will be made "one dollar at a time" on this unprecedented evening in Susquehanna County!
The 'Clash at the Can' presented by VP Racing Fuels and Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. is a co-promotion involving Brett Deyo and speedway managers Reed Miller and Al Wilcox. Joining the RoC Modifieds on the two-division card are the RoC Street Stocks.
Thanks to Trackside Products of Endicott, N.Y., leading lap 30 - the halfway mark - of the RoC Modified event will be lucrative. The halfway leader will have the option of two prizes: a 55-gallon drum of VP Racing Fuels C12 gasoline or two drums of VP Racing Fuels M1 methanol. The halfway prizes are valued at approximately $500 cash.
"We always try to give back to our customers and potential customers," Trackside Products proprietor Al Wilcox said. "Being that a number of our cars burn methanol, it only seemed fair to give them a choice of the product."
The winner of the 'Clash at the Can' earns a guaranteed starting berth in the Sept. 29 Outlaw 200 at N.Y.'s Fulton Speedway, an event paying $20,000 to the winner.
G&G Towing Towing & Scrap Recycling of Carbondale, Pa., a Tonkin family business, has signed on as an associate marketing partner of the 'Clash at the Can' program. To contact G&G, call: 570.282.4070.
A number of contingency sponsors have come on board for the event, including Shiley Fabrication, S&D Bodyline, American Racer/Lias Tire, MTL Motorsports, S&W Awards and more. Complete details of their involvement will be announced in the coming weeks.
Lap sponsorships, at $20 per lap, are available by contacting Brett Deyo at Deyo99H@aol.com or by phone: 845.728.2781. All lap money collected goes back to the racers participating in the event.
The 'Clash at the Can' will offer combination points on the Race of Champions Dirt Modified Tour title race of 2012. Two regions will comprise the '12 RoC schedule. At the 'Clash at the Can' fans will enjoy stars of the North and South colliding in an epic short-track battle.
In its two previous runnings, the 'Clash at the Can' main event has evolved into a standoff between Modified superstars and weekend warriors.
Last June, it was eventual RoC champion Decker, driving John Wight's Gypsum Racing No. 91, besting Accord (N.Y.) Speedway weekend racer Danny Tyler of Cottekill, N.Y. The upstart Tyler led much of the event, proved a formidable match for Decker and guided his family owned No. 22 home to second.
The star of the '10 'Clash at the Can' was Carbondale, Pa.-based Penn Can regular Brett Tonkin, whose No. 15 repelled the advances of eventual victor Duane Howard of Oley, Pa., using the outside lane.
Penn Can's racy one-third-mile layout has proven a great equalizer: expensive and powerful engines aren't the key to success. The surface is tire-wear-friendly. Truly "anyone" can take $10,000 home from this show!
A liberal rules package will be announced as the event nears.
