GEORGETOWN, DE – Lights, camera, action!

National television returns to Northeast dirt Modified racing on Tuesday, August 28 at Georgetown Speedway. And VAHLCO Wheels will be front and center.

For the first time in the history of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco, an event will be nationally televised on MAV-TV with the fifth running of the ‘Blast at the Beach’ Velocita-USA South Region big-block/small-block Modified event.

On the card at the Georgetown banked half-mile are the STSS Modifieds racing for $5,000 to win, $1,000 for 10th and $400 to start in a 35-lap main plus STSS Crate 602 Sportsman ($1,000 to win), Delmarva Chargers and Delaware Super Trucks.

VAHLCO Wheels has signed on as the presenting sponsor of the event for 2018.

Based in New Egypt, N.J., VAHLCO Wheels are “made by racers, for racers” with the ultimate goal of providing the highest-quality products. VAHLCO produces complete lines of 10-inch Micro-Sprint, 13-inch Midget, 15-inch Sprint Car and 15-inch Wide-5 wheels.

Building racing wheels for customers is VAHLCO’s singular purpose. VAHLCO lightweight racing wheels are a top choice for competitive race teams across the globe.

VAHLCO is managed by noted dirt Modified racer and STSS South Region contender David Van Horn.

“We saw this event as a great opportunity to market our brand nationally,” Van Horn said. “VAHLCO has customers across the United States and the world. We didn’t want to miss out on a chance to be part of this type of event showcasing Modified racing on national television.”
