Show
KIRKWOOD, NY – For the first time since the
event’s inaugural running in 2006, a Friday night racing program has been added
to the Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc.-VP Racing Fuels Short Track
SuperNationals.
On Friday evening, October 11, as a
prelude to the sixth annual Modified spectacular to be run on Saturday at Five
Mile Point Speedway, Sportsman will top the weekend kick-off with a 30-lap main
event paying $1,500 to the winner. Also
on the preliminary program will be IMCA-style Modifieds and XCel 600 Modifieds.
As in past years, Modified teams will have track time available to practice in
advance of Saturday’s headline show.
Sportsman will draw for heat races
leading up to the main event. Open and Crate 602 combinations are legal, with a
weight break granted to crate engine teams. There is an option for steel or
aluminum wheels for both engine combinations. In a unique twist, sail panels will be
permitted (but not mandatory) on Sportsman cars. Teams can run American Racer or
DIRT Hoosier tires. Green money is $100.
“The Sportsman event has been added
as a result of significant interest from drivers looking to be part of the Short
Track SuperNationals,” event promoter Brett Deyo said. “We have put together a
schedule that should make for great racing on Friday night with plenty of time
for Modifieds to practice, as well.
“We’re returning to our roots with
this event, having run Sportsman when we held the first Short Track
SuperNationals in 2006 at Afton (N.Y.)
Speedway.”
Sportsman teams are encouraged to
stay for Saturday’s Modified program. Any Sportsman wishing to attempt to
qualify with the Modifieds will receive a discounted car entry
fee.
Sportsman entry forms can be found
online at www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com. The early entry
deadline is October 1 for $15. After that point, the entry increases to
$20.
During the 2006 SuperNationals at
Afton, Mike DiMorier of McGraw, N.Y., won a 40-lap Sportsman special, the
division’s only appearance in event history.
IMCA-style Modifieds (20 laps) and
XCel 600 Modifieds (20 laps) complete the Friday
card.
Sportsman, IMCA-style Modifieds and
XCel 600 Modifieds will utilize the backstretch pit area on Friday night and
will pay a $30 pit admittance fee. All Modifieds looking to practice in advance
of Saturday’s race will use the turn-four pit area and will be charged
$20.
Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. for
the Friday event. The track will be open for Modified practice starting at 5
p.m. It will remain open through 7 p.m. At that point, hot laps for the
Sportsman, IMCA-style Modifieds and XCel 600 Modifieds will get underway. Racing
will start at 7:45 p.m. Rounds of Modified practice will also be incorporated
through the program.
Friday night grandstand admission
is $12 for Adults, $10 for Seniors (62 and over) and Students (13-17). Kids 12
and under are admitted FREE. Pit admission is $30 (backstretch pit for those
competing) and $20 (turn-four pit for Modifieds practicing).
Saturday’s Short Track
SuperNationals program is headlined by a big-block/small-block Modified 50-lap
event paying a minimum of $5,000 to win with the Alpine Building Supply
“Gambler’s Fee” and a mammoth $455 to take the green flag! Street Stocks and
Four Cylinders complete the program with a staggered starting time in effect.
Support-division qualifying takes place first on the
docket.
