Sunoco Race Fuels Returns To Present $57,500 Short Track Super Series-American Racer Cup ‘Grand Championship’ Quest

Story By: BRETT DEYO / AMERICAN RACER CUP – MILLSBORO, DE – The most lucrative ‘Grand Championship’ for dirt big-block/small-block Modified competitors belongs to the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco again in 2019.

By winning the STSS Halmar International North Region title, Velocita-USA South Region presented by Design for Vision and Sunglass Central crown and overall American Racer Cup, a single driver could take home $57,500.

Yes, more than 57k.

The STSS Modified circuit features a nine-race North Region paying a minimum of $12,500 to its champion. The eight-race South Region rewards its titlist with $10,000.

The home-track American Racer Cup presented By Sunoco offers the overall Modified titlist $10,000-plus based on their 10 best finishes at their regular weekly facility.

Should one driver sweep the STSS North ($12,500) and South ($10,000) regions plus the overall American Racer Cup ($10,000), a total of $32,500 will be distributed.

For the second consecutive season, Sunoco Race Fuels and distributor Insinger Performance of Dushore, Pa., have returned to offer a $25,000 cash bonus to a driver sweeping all three titles. The $25,000 bonus coupled with the previous $32,500 in point fund money equals the massive $57,500.

A secondary $10,000 cash bonus is available if one driver wins the STSS North or South title and the American Racer Cup championship.

“With a single remarkable season, one driver could take home $57,500 cash,” STSS organizer Brett Deyo said. “It’s a huge, but attainable goal that not only brings excitement to our series, but to all of the American Racer Cup home tracks. The quest for this ‘Grand Championship’ will be fun for race fans to track along with us through the summer.”

The STSS North Region gets the green flag on Sunday, April 7 at Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, N.Y., for the ‘Hard Clay Open’ sixth annual event. Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, Del., kicks off the STSS South Region during Melvin L. Joseph Memorial weekend Friday-Saturday March 15-16.
