SUSQUEHANNA, PA - Late Models will have their turn for a high-profile event this season at Penn Can Speedway.
A 'Late Model Challenge' will join the Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified Tour Don's Automotive Mall 'Hot Summer Night' program at the Susquehanna, Pa., oval on Tuesday night, Aug. 10.
The 'Hot Summer Night' event is the second half of a two-race big-block/small-block Modified 'Super Summer Series' co-promoted by Brett Deyo and Penn Can track operators Reed Miller and Al Wilcox. The first, dubbed the 'Clash at the Can,' is set for Tuesday night, June 8.
The inaugural 'Late Model Challenge' should pit the top Grandview (Pa.) Speedway NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Models stars versus the Penn Can regulars in a 25-lap event. Limited Late Models from other venues fitting the rules for the event are welcomed to participate as well.
Heat races will feature a draw for position with a redraw of top qualifiers for the feature.
"Reed and Al are very proud of their Late Model division at Penn Can," Deyo said. "I have the pleasure of watching the Grandview Late Models on a weekly basis and recognize the level of talent in that division.
"We feel the mix of Penn Can and Grandview regulars with some additional invaders will produce a show fans won't want to miss out on."
The feature will pay a minimum of $750 to the winner. That number could increase with additional sponsorship revenue. Marketing partners looking to get involved in the 'Late Model Challenge' or the 'Super Summer Series' should contact Brett Deyo by phone at 845.728.2781 or via e-mail: Deyo99H@aol.com.
Information on the 'Super Summer Series' will be posted as it becomes available on the web: www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com.
About the 'Super Summer Series'
Special events promoter Brett Deyo has partnered with Penn Can Speedway co-promoters Reed Miller and Al Wilcox for a pair of 'Super Summer Series' midweek races at the Susquehanna, Pa., clay oval.
The first event, dubbed the 'Clash at the Can' is set for Tuesday night, June 8. The 60-lap big-block/small-block Modified race will offer a $4,000 top prize plus a $1,000 bonus should the winning driver take the $20 "Gambler's Fee" option. Doug Borger's XCel 600 Modifieds will serve as the support division.
The second race, assuming the 'Hot Summer Night' moniker, is scheduled for Tuesday night, Aug. 10 with a similar format: 60 laps, $4,000 to the winner plus an additional $1,000 should the winner post the "Gambler's Fee." The 'Late Model Challenge' will fill out the program.
Point standings will be tabulated for the 'Super Summer Series' races. The champion of the series will earn $1,000 with contingency awards presented to others. Drivers must attempt to qualify for both events to be eligible for awards.
Both Modified events will be points-paying races on the Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified Tour, running under RoC rules. The events will include fuel stops (if necessary) for cars running methanol. Sail panels will be permitted for 'Super Summer Series' RoC events.
The Super Summer Series is presented by Don's Automotive Mall, Gary's U-Pull-It, G&G Used Auto Parts, Joe Adams Lettering LLC and Brett Deyo Motorsports Media.
