"Clash for Clunkers" Program Offers Free Admission to Penn Can Speedway 'Clash at the Can' Via G&G Towing & Scrap Recycling; Huge $10,000 Event Planned for June 12


SUSQUEHANNA, PA -
A junk car could be your ticket to the 'Clash at the Can' in June.


G&G Towing and Scrap Recycling of Carbondale, Pa., has instituted a unique "Clash for Clunkers" program for the Race of Champions Dirt Modified Tour big-block/small-block Modified event on Tuesday, June 12. The 60-lap event, sponsored by VP Racing Fuels and Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc., offers an all-time high $10,000 to the winner. Race of Champions Street Stocks join the powerful Modifieds for the two-division program.



"Making history, one dollar at a time" is the theme of the co-promotion involving Brett Deyo and track managers Al Wilcox and Reed Miller. The total purse is the most lucrative since the Susquehanna County facility was constructed in 1952.



The G&G "Clash for Clunkers" program provides a great opportunity for fans to have their admission to the 'Clash at the Can' covered.



Here is how the program works: beginning Monday, April 15, bring a junk car to race sponsor G&G Towing and Scrap Recycling, sign over the title and mention the 'Clash at the Can' event: you will receive market value for the car and G&G will buy you two adult general admission tickets to the 'Clash' spectacular.



This program continues through race day, June 12. Get your "clunker" to the speedway and G&G will buy your admission tickets, pay the car's value and tow it away!



"This is going to be the biggest race ever in Penn Can history," said Garth Tonkin Jr., who manages the G&G scrap recycling program. "We wanted to get more involved with our business than just a regular race sponsor."



G&G Towing and Scrap Recycling, operated by the Tonkin family, and can be reached by phone at 570.282.4070.



G&G will also provide towing services during the anticipated 'Clash at the Can' program.



For the first time, a souvenir program book will be produced for the 'Clash at the Can' event. The 28-page program will be published by AARN Publishing of Trenton, N.J., the producers of Area Auto Racing News. It will be 28 pages with full color covers and eight total pages of color. BD Motorsports Media will manage advertising, content and distribution of the program.

All advertisers will receive a free lap sponsorship, offering added exposure. Contact Brett Deyo at 845.728.2781 or
Deyo99H@aol.com for advertising rates.



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.



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.



A number of contingency sponsors have come on board for the event, including Harford Subway, Trackside Products, Shiley Fabrication, S&D Bodyline, American Racer/Lias Tire, MTL Motorsports, S&W Awards and more.



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 Billy 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!
