Race fans- prepare to wave something white, something bright, something red off your head, something blue off of you- get ready to wave it for your favorite again in 2017! Brett Deyo's Short Track Super Series will once again invade 'New York's Toughest Bullring' in 2017, when this coveted stop on the STSS North Region takes place on Tuesday August 22nd. This will be the third season in a row that the series will invade Ted and Brandi White's Woodhull Raceway.
The annual stop for the richest paying traveling Modified series will see Big Block and Small Block powered modifieds race 53 laps, competing for a $5,300 top prize. Additional divisions, contingencies and full field purse will be announced later in the offseason. If the racing that has taken place during the first two years of this high-paying event, this date will be the must-see show of the season on the Steuben County clay. Two seasons ago, Dylan Dewert and Stewart Friesen wowed the Woodhull faithful with a side-by-side battle for the ages. While 2016 saw outsiders Ryan Godown and Andy Bachetti square off against Donnie Lawson and Grant Hilfiger for the $5,200 top prize. "We are thrilled to bring back the Short Track Super Series again in 2017," said Woodhull owner and promoter Ted White. "It's certainly a big big show for us as far as the purse goes, but it has produced racing that has been second to none with a great mix of our weekly competitors and the STSS following. This series has yet to disappoint."
The formation of the 2017 race schedule at Woodhull Raceway is ongoing, but the annual visit of the Short Track Super Series has become a welcomed tradition along with the storied history of events like the George Williams Memorial, Jake Davis Memorial and Lyle Sherwood Memorial. Along with the Short Track Super Series news, Woodhull recently made headlines with their addition of a 604 Crate Late Model division in 2017.
The annual Arnot Mall Car Show in Horseheads, NY is planned for St. Patrick's Day weekend, March 17th, 18th and 19th. More information on the mall show and the 2017 schedule and returning sponsors will be forthcoming during the offseason.
