GEORGETOWN, DE – The stakes have risen for Friday night’s double-headliner event at Georgetown Speedway.

Thanks to the support of area businesses, BOTH the Sunoco Modified and Super Late Model divisions will compete for $3,250 to win on Blue Hen Dispose-All Night at the Sussex County half-mile oval this Friday, July 20.

The Sunoco Modified event was slated to pay $3,000 for its distance of 30 laps. Stockley Tavern, located just south of the speedway on Route 113 south, has posted a $250 cash bonus to bring the winner’s share to $3,250.

The accompanying Super Late Model 25-lap event was scheduled to offer $2,500 to the winner. The County Seat Cruisers group added $300 to bring that number to $2,800. Then, JD Shuckers Georgetown restaurant on Route 113 north of the speedway, bumped the Super Late Model top prize to $3,250 by adding $450.

And there’s more for the Super Late Model contingent. The Super Late Model event on Friday offers a valuable $1,000 guaranteed starting position for the Bedford (Pa.) Speedway’s Keystone Cup on Sept. 28-29. There are only two of these spots being offered across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for this blockbuster event.
