Bob Hilbert Sportswear Signs On As Title Sponsor Of Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP For 2016 Season; Series Set For Third Season With Modified North & South Regions, New Open Sportsman Tour

BOYERTOWN, PA – In 2015, Bob Hilbert got a taste of involvement in the Short Track Super Series.

This year, he wanted more.

Bob Hilbert Sportswear of Boyertown, Pa., has announced a new role as the title sponsor of the Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By VP for the upcoming 2016 campaign. Hilbert’s new leading role kicks off March 12 at Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, Del., with the Melvin L. Joseph Memorial (South) and Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, N.Y. (North) for the ‘Hard Clay Open’ New York Modified opener.

“Last year, we were involved with the North Region schedule and the feedback was unbelievable,” Hilbert said. “The publicity we got on social media, in press releases, ads, and at the track was second-to-none. Moving into the series sponsor role is a great opportunity for us.”

Hilbert is particularly enthused to showcase his brand at two high-profile new venues on the series: Glenn Donnelly’s Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in Elbridge, N.Y., and the Scott Gobrecht-managed Susquehanna Speedway Park in Newberrytown, Pa., not to mention all the returning facilities from the ’15 schedule. The STSS Modified North and South circuits visit a dozen tracks in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania

“We’re looking forward to getting ‘out there’ more this season with giveaways and promotions,” Hilbert said. “The schedule allows us to visit tracks in four states from upstate New York to southern Delaware. That’s tremendous exposure.”

Deyo welcomes Hilbert’s new role in supporting the STSS and its tracks, fans and competitors.

“Bob has been an outstanding partner,” Deyo said. “Our series has benefited with eye-catching apparel and novelties. Our racers have enjoyed the product certificates and fans have been on the receiving end of unique giveaway items.

“I’m looking forward to further building our relationship with Bob this season in his new role.”
