Late Models A Big Piece Of Selinsgrove Speedway’s Racing Pie In 2020 Season
Story By: SHAWN BROUSE / SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY – SELINSGROVE, PA – The 2020 Selinsgrove Speedway schedule has plenty to offer for stock car and late model fans with 10 dates inked for the super late models and nine for the limited late model division.
And based on the level of late model competition at the Snyder County oval in 2019, the year ahead looks promising to say the least.
An even one dozen different super late winners were produced in 14 shows held at the track in 2019 while four different winners arose out of the five limited late shows held.
Coleby Frye of Dover was the only super late repeat winner of the season, scoring three victories while topping the year-long division points.
The new season holds a bunch of big races for the wide-open, wide-body super late models.
At the top of the list is the Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center World of Outlaws 22nd annual National Open, coming up on Saturday, June 20.
Both the ULMS and NUSLMS will sanction specials at the track during the season as well with the ULMS April attack planned for April 11 and the NUSLMS Showdown on Sand Hill slated for August 15.
Other anticipated dates for the super lates during the year ahead include the Ron Keister Memorial on May 16, the Pa Super Late Model Challenge Series on June 13 and a Summer Championship on July 25.
The super lates will make their first appearance of the season as part of March Mayhem at 2 pm on March 29.
Three appearances by the super lates this season, on April 26, May 16 and June 20, will be part of the Slivinski Law Offices Super 7 Series of races, offering two-division events featuring fast-paced, fan-friendly, premier dirt track racing at its finest.
Selinsgrove Speedway will open 2020 at 2 pm Saturday, March 21, with the highly-anticipated return of the Northeast modifieds in the $5,000-to-win Icebreaker 40!
The Icebreaker will be a combined small and big block, non-sanctioned race offering a $24,625 purse and will be run under rules and specifications that mirror the Short Track Super Series.
Also on the March 21 racing program will be the crate 602 sportsman modifieds in a $1,000-to-win 20-lap feature.
The first 410 sprint car show of the year is set for one week later, as part of March Mayhem.
