MILLSBORO, DE – May Madness.
After a busy start to the season, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco slows down in April before the jam-packed month of May.
Following the ‘Sunshine Swing’ in early February, and back-to-back weekends in March at Georgetown (Del.) Speedway and Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway, the month of April sees the STSS go quiet.
May, however, is a massive ‘ramp-up’ for the stars of the STSS.
The busy stretch kicks off on Tuesday, May 7 with the ‘Diamond State 50’ at Delaware International Speedway in Round No. 3 of the Ollie’s Overall Championship and the NJ Quality Drywall South Region.
The 50-lap affair for the STSS big-block/small-block Modifieds carries a $5,000 winner’s share.
The STSS Crate 602 Sportsman will also be on hand for Round No. 3 of the Belmont’s Garage South Region. The first across the finish line at the end of the 25-lap feature receives a $1,500 top prize.
The following Tuesday (May 14) lifts the lid on the River Valley Builders North Region with the ‘Battle of the Bullring’ honoring Barry Davis at Accord (N.Y.) Speedway.
The 50-lap feature now will pay $9,090.90, honoring Barry Davis’s No. 9D in his successful driving career at the Ulster County bullring.
The STSS Crate 602 Sportsman kick off the Madsen Overhead Doors North Region with a 25-lap, $1,500-to-win feature event.
One week later (May 21), the STSS heads back to the South Region for Round No. 4 and a show carrying 75 show up points to all STSS Modified competitors.
The ‘Berks County Brawl’ returns to Action Track USA in Kutztown, Pa., after last year’s historic opener at the tight bullring.
The STSS Modifieds go for 50 laps and a $5,000 top prize with a fully paid B-Main in store as well.
The Madsen Overhead Doors North Region for the STSS Crate 602 Sportsman continues the following Sunday (May 26) with the ‘Fast Cars and Freedom’ at Brookfield (N.Y.) Speedway.
After last year’s inaugural appearance at the Madison County Fairgrounds, the STSS returns for another 25-lap, $1,500-to-win feature event.
May concludes for the STSS on Thursday, May 30 with the first ever visit to Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y.
The STSS Modifieds go for 70-laps chasing a $7,070 top prize in the ‘Adirondack Invasion,’ serving as Round No. 2 of the North Region celebrating 70 years of racing at the Plattsburgh venue.
When the month of May is all said and done, the Ollie’s Overall Championship for the STSS Modifieds will be through its sixth round of competition.
