GEORGETOWN, DE- August 15, 2016- The finale of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By VP Velocita South takes place Tuesday, August 30 at Georgetown Speedway.

And momentum continues to build for the third annual ‘Blast at the Beach’ to be contested at the half-mile clay oval.

A 35-lap big-block/small-block Modified event offering a winner’s share of $5,000, with $1,000 reserved for 10th and $400 to take the green flag headlines the program. The total payout for this event exceeds $25,000!

The $8,500 STSS South champion will be decided by 35 laps of feature racing at Georgetown. Increased championship points will be on the line at this event, adding to the drama.

Hurlock Auto & Speed Supply, located in Hurlock, Md., has signed on as a presenting sponsor of this event. Hurlock Auto & Speed is the official parts supplier of Georgetown Speedway, serving as an American Racer and VP Racing Fuels dealer in addition to a full line of oval-track speed equipment.

2016 will mark the third ‘Blast at the Beach’ running.

Last year, local driver Jordan Watson of Milford, Del., drove to a popular victory with the crowd, while Ryan Watt of Boyertown, Pa., was crowned the inaugural STSS South champion.

In the first event contested in 2014, New York teenager Tyler Dippel invaded and stole the show.

Track conditions have been a focus by the Georgetown management team this season to correlate with off-track clean-up and improvements. Competitors have raved about the tacky and racy conditions presented during the two most recent programs: the Ultimate Super Late Model Series stop on June 2 and URC 360 Sprint Car/Modified doubleheader on July 22.

During the July 22 program, H.J. Bunting scored a victory in the ‘Blast at the Beach’ qualifier and earned a guaranteed redraw position for the main event on Aug. 30. Bunting heads to the ‘Blast at the Beach’ knowing his Jake Marine-owned No. 85 is already in the starting field.

General information, times, prices and rules for the ‘Blast at the Beach’ have been posted on both the track and series websites: http://www.thegeorgetownspeedway.com/?page_id=369
