The fifth 'Working Man's Race' at
Five Mile Point is shaping up to be the most lucrative to date for Modified
racers. The green money has been increased to $455 for 50 laps of racing on a
quarter-mile oval.
Alpine Building Supply of
Schuylkill Haven, Pa., returns as the 'Roll the Dice Challenge' sponsor for the
SuperNationals event, boosting the winner's share by $1,500 so long as they have
posted the $20 'gambler's fee' prior to the start of qualifying.
A long list of bonus
and award sponsors has signed on to support the SuperNationals in 2012. A
complete list, updated frequently, can be found online at
www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com. A large cross-section of competitors will benefit
from this bonus program, including drivers who do not qualify for the main
event.
Registration is currently underway
for the Short Track SuperNationals. Entry forms have been posted to the BD
Motorsports Media website. Brian Malcolm of Lake Ariel, Pa., earned two free pit
passes to the SuperNationals via a drawing of the first 10 early entries
received. The drawing took place in Victory Lane at Penn Can Speedway Aug.
24.
All remaining pre-entered drivers
who file an entry prior to Sept. 30 will be part of a second drawing to be held
at the drivers' meeting on race day for a pair of $50 gas cards. Registration in
advance is just $15: $20 less than it had been in 2006 when the SuperNationals
was first contested!
Modified rules allow for big- or
small-block engines, gasoline or methanol, sail panels or windows, an open tire
rule (run weekly at a Northeast dirt Modified facility), with a draw for
position setting the heat-race starting orders. Complete rules and race
procedures have been posted on the BD Motorsports Media website.
ALL racing activity takes place on
Saturday (Oct. 6) with an open practice on Friday (Oct. 5) evening.
