Short Track SuperNationals 2013 Modified Registration Now Open; Early Entry Incentives Include Free Pit Passes & $50 Gas Cards; Red Roof Inn Offers Rate Discount; Sixth ‘Working Man’s Race’ Set For Five Mile Point Speedway October 11-12; Modified Rules Outlined

KIRKWOOD, NY – Registration for the ‘Working Man’s Race’ of 2013 is now underway.

The sixth edition of the Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc.-VP Racing Fuels Short Track SuperNationals is planned for Saturday, October 12 at Five Mile Point Speedway. The event, run as the affordable option for the dirt Modified community on Columbus Day weekend, is headlined by a 50-lap main event for the big-block/small-block Modifieds. Once again, the racy quarter-mile Five Mile Point oval centrally located in Kirkwood, N.Y., serves as the great equalizer for weekend racers across the Northeast.

Thanks to the Alpine Building Supply “Roll the Dice Challenge” the Short Track SuperNationals winner earns a minimum of $5,000. Even more impressive is the mammoth $455 posted just to take the green flag in the 50-lap main event! The base payoff is annually boosted greatly by lap sponsors, contingency awards, bonus cash and prizes contributed by a long list of marketing partners.

Registration for the ’13 Short Track SuperNationals is now open for Modified competitors. The pre-entry fee is $15. Late/race-day entry is $20 (after Oct. 1, 2013). The entry fee for this event has not increased since the event was first contested at Five Mile Point in 2009 despite dramatic a dramatic climb in the posted purse over the last four years. In fact, the entry fee has decreased since the inaugural Short Track SuperNationals running in October 2006 at N.Y.’s Afton Speedway.

Competitors entering the event early will be eligible for a pair of incentives.

The first 10 completed entry blanks received by the BD Motorsports Media LLC office will be entered into a drawing for two FREE Saturday pit passes. Additionally, all entries received prior to the final stop on the Lias Tire-American Racer Road to the SuperNationals at N.Y.’s Accord Speedway on Friday, September 13 will be eligible for a pair of $50 gas cards. The gas card drawing will take place at Accord.

“It’s a benefit to us for teams to enter early so we can properly advertise to fans which drivers will be in attendance for our event,” said Short Track SuperNationals promoter and founder Brett Deyo. “Our racers can save some money by entering early and now have the opportunity to earn some bonuses before we even open the gates.”

A complete Short Track SuperNationals schedule and format is forthcoming. All Modified racing will take place on Saturday (Oct. 12). Teams will be able to practice on Friday night (Oct. 11). Saturday’s race program will also include Street Stocks and Four Cylinders. A staggered starting time will be in effect with support-division qualifying run first.

The Red Roof Inn, located on 590 Fairview Street in Johnson City, N.Y., 13790, is offered a special Short Track SuperNationals rate for Friday and Saturday nights of the event (Oct. 11-12). Standard King Rooms are available for $79.99 plus tax. Deluxe double rooms are $89.99 plus tax. To reserve a room, call the Red Roof Inn directly at 607.729.8940. When prompted, use Option 4 to speak with a Guest Services Representative directly to book the room. Mention “RACE FAN 2012” to receive the discounted rate.

Modified rules for the Short Track SuperNationals are again designed to produce a diverse field. Big-blocks (over 361 cubic inches) must weigh 2,500 lbs. Small-block (maximum 361 cubic inches) minimum weight is 2,400 lbs. Sail panels, 68 inches maximum height and even, are permitted. Any American Racer or DIRT Hoosier tire used at a weekly dirt Modified track in the Northeast is permitted. A draw for position will set heat-race line-ups.

The Short Track SuperNationals produced a “working man” winner last October when Danny Tyler of Cottekill, N.Y., an Accord Speedway regular, emerged from a three-wide battle with New Jersey legend Billy Pauch Sr. and Capital District star Bobby Varin to earn the biggest win of his career and more than $6,000 in cash and prizes.

Previous SuperNationals winners include Duane Howard of Oley, Pa., (’11), Justin Holland of Kauneonga Lake, N.Y., (’10), Kevin Hirthler of Boyertown, Pa., (’09) and Mike Ricci of Tillson, N.Y. (’06 – Afton).
