Championship On The Line Saturday At I-88 Speedway October 10 For Short Track Super Series Bob Hilbert Sportswear North Region; Stewart Friesen Aims For $15,000 Title, List Of Contenders Battle For Share Of $38,000-Plus STSS North Region Point Fund
AFTON, NY – A championship is on the line when the Short Track Super Series Fueled By Hi-Tek rolls into I-88 Speedway next weekend.
On Friday-Saturday October 9-10, the Afton Fairgrounds becomes a hub of activity with the running of the Halmar International Short Track SuperNationals 8 presented by Olum’s. The two-day ‘Working Man’s Race’ has become more lucrative for competitors and intriguing for race fans.
Headlining the event is the Short Track Super Series Fueled By Hi-Tek (STSS) finale for the Bob Hilbert Sportswear North Region. Not only is the 50-lap race paying $5,000 to win, $1,000 for 10th and $500 to take the green flag, there is also a $15,000 championship at stake and much more for those battling to earn a top-12 position in the final STSS North Region standings. The North Region point fund alone tops $38,000!
Seven of the eight Bob Hilbert Sportswear North Region events have now been completed. The most recent event was contested at Thunder Mountain Speedway in Center Lisle, N.Y., on Sunday (Sept. 27).
Stewart Friesen earned the MjH Oilfield Wade Decker Memorial $5,140 payday at Thunder Mountain and extended his lead in the standings. Friesen has won four of seven events this year (N.Y.’s Orange County Fair Speedway, I-88 Speedway, N.Y.’s Woodhull Raceway and Thunder Mountain) and finished second twice with the potent Jeff Daley No. 44.
Friesen plans to make his return to the Short Track SuperNationals for the first time since the event’s 2011 edition in an attempt to claim the STSS North Region crown. The Sprakers, N.Y., driver has accrued 665 points this season.
A tight battle for second involves three drivers: Danny Johnson of Rochester, N.Y. (556 points), Anthony Perrego of Montgomery, N.Y. (522 points) and Andy Bachetti of Sheffield, Mass. (521 points). Veteran Jeff Heotzler of Wallkill, N.Y., completes the top-five with 449 points.
Rounding out the top-10, currently, entering the finale are Billy Van Pelt of Westfield, Pa. (425 points); Danny Creeden of Wurtsboro, N.Y. (424 points); Jackie Brown Jr. of Hurley, N.Y. (410 points); Mike Mahaney of King Ferry, N.Y. (403 points); and Tommy Meier of Waldwick, N.J. (392 points).
The top-12 drivers in the standings will share in point fund money at the December STSS Awards Banquet. Jeff Strunk of Boyertown, Pa. (337 points) and Jerry Higbie Jr. of Newburgh, N.Y. (327 points) sit 11th and 12th, respectively.
As the series finale, increased ‘Championship Points’ will be awarded: 150 to the event winner, 60 for last and 35 markers for those on hand failing to make the main event.
Two very busy days of racing are planned during the SuperNationals weekend.
On Friday, Open vs. Crate 602 Sportsman headline the program with a $1,500-to-win feature, 35 laps in distance, offering Crate 602 bonuses of $200, $100, $75, $50 and a free pit pass for Saturday.
