Short Track SuperNationals presented by Dart Machinery promoter Brett Deyo has forged an agreement with Trackside Products, the Endicott, N.Y.-based regional distributor of American Racer tires, to organize the first American Racer East Coast Modified Cup Champion's Challenge as part of the Oct. 8-9 third edition of the "Working Man's Race" at Five Mile Point Speedway in Kirkwood, N.Y.
 
The Trackside Products-sponsored Champion's Challenge will feature one-on-one match races open to 2010 American Racer East Coast Modified Cup track champions. Champions representing each of the 12 tracks participating in the inaugural season of the East Coast Modified Cup will be invited, in addition to the overall American Racer Cup champion.
 
Facilities to be included are Accord (N.Y.) Speedway, Big Diamond (Pa.) Raceway, Bridgeport (N.J.) Speedway, Delaware International Speedway, Five Mile Point Speedway, Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway, Grandview (Pa.) Speedway, New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway, Orange County (N.Y.) Fair Speedway, Penn Can (Pa.) Speedway, Utica-Rome (N.Y.) Speedway and Woodhull (N.Y.) Raceway.
 
One of the champions on hand will be selected via a random draw to start the one-on-one match races. The winner of the first round will choose the driver they will challenge and that process continues until an overall winner is decided. The match races will be approximately a lap-and-a-half each with starts taking place at the mid-point of the backstretch. Round winners will be paid individually with the overall winner collecting the most lucrative share of the $1,500 posted purse.
