GEORGETOWN, DE – Bonuses and special awards continue to “sweeten the pot” for Delaware’s richest dirt-track Modified race of 2015.

On Tuesday, Sept. 1 (rain date: Sept. 2), Georgetown Speedway hosts the second annual ‘Blast at the Beach’ event co-promoted by dirt Modified driver and businessman Eric Kormann and Brett Deyo of BD Motorsports Media LLC. The big-block/small-block Modifieds of the Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Hi-Tek invade the historic half-mile for the STSS Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. South Region presented by Scotty’s Speed & Diesel championship round.

For 35 laps of racing, the ‘Blast at the Beach’ STSS Modified winner will leave with $5,000 plus lap money, bonuses and more. The event pays $1,000 for 10^th and, thanks to a slew of marketing partners, green money has been boosted to $500!

But there is much, much more.

All of the night’s STSS Modified heat races will offer $100 cash to the winner thanks to Will Brown’s Truck Repair located in Cambridge, Md. Brown is a longtime supporter of racing in the First State and beyond as a car owner and crew member.

The top-finishing Delaware International Speedway big-block Modified regular in the field will take home $250 cash courtesy of DTM Motorsports, now offering dyno service in Millsboro, Del.

The Halfway Leader in the STSS Modified main event (lap 18) earns a $200 cash bonus courtesy of Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz, with locations in Millville and Franklinville, N.J.

Lap money for the 35-lap main has already topped $900 and continues to climb at a minimum of $20 per lap. Two key circuits include lap nine sponsored by Auger Manufacturing and lap 11 presented by Crunchco Snacks, both worth $100 cash! Lap money will be distributed to the top-seven in the running order during the main.

Vahlco Wheels has signed on to support the event with a multi-faceted effort. Vahlco has contributed $100 cash toward the STSS Modified Hard Charger Award, going to the driver advancing the most positions from their scheduled starting position. The first person during the event to damage a wheel will receive a brand-new, beadlock wheel as a FREE replacement on site. Also, the fifth-place finisher will receive a free, non-beadlock wheel, a standard at all STSS events.

A long list of product certificates will be handed out from the following STSS-supporting companies: Allstar Performance, American Racer/Lias Tire, ATL Fuel Cells, Behrent’s Performance Warehouse, Fast Axle, Lineman Racing, Shiley Fabrication and VP Racing Fuel.
