Georgetown Speedway
‘Blast at the Beach Next Up for Short Track Super Series Tuesday, Aug. 25 at Georgetown Speedway
GEORGETOWN, DE – The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short
Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco continues its August invasion of
Delaware on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Georgetown
Speedway, approximately 22 miles from the series Aug. 11 stop at Delaware
International Speedway, is the host of the Melon 1 ‘Blast at the Beach
presented by Earth Movers LLC on the 25th, a popular late-summer
showcase of the STSS stars on the progressively banked, half-mile Georgetown
oval.
STSS
Modifieds take part in Round No. 6 of the Velocita-USA South Region presented
by Design for Vision and Sunglass Central, a 35-lap main event offering $6,000
to the winner, $1,000 for 10th and $400 to take the green flag.
The fifth
South Region event of 2020 for the STSS Crate 602 Sportsman features a
$1,500-to-win, 25-lap main event.
Delaware
Super Trucks and Delmarva Chargers complete the program, both running in 12-lap
feature events.
Empire State
drivers Stewart Friesen (STSS Modified) and Tim Hartman Jr. (STSS Crate 602
Sportsman) lead the series standings into Georgetown.
Fans will be
permitted to attend this event, which will also be streamed live via Dirt Track
Digest TV (www.dirttrackdigest.tv).
The most
recent STSS event at Delaware International on Aug. 11 was a blockbuster.
Friesen found the extreme outside line of the half-mile oval to sweep past Matt
Sheppard and score his second ‘Diamond State 50 triumph. Young Tanner Van
Doren put his name on the STSS win list in the companion STSS Crate 602
Sportsman program.
Now, all
attention turns to Georgetown and the ‘Blast at the Beach seventh edition.
Should
Friesen be able to ‘Double Down and win the Georgetown event, he will receive
a $2,000 cash bonus courtesy of Stockley Tavern. If he is unable to repeat, the
driver with the best average finish over the two events will receive $1,000.
