GEORGETOWN, DE –April 29, 2016- The stakes have gone up for the ‘First State 40’ at Georgetown Speedway and the four-race ‘Colonial Clash Championship’ presented by DirtNation.
On Thursday, June 2, the touring Ultimate Super Late Model Series will make its debut at the First State half-mile oval in a combined effort with three neighboring Mid-Atlantic Region facilities, kicking off four consecutive nights of Super Late Model racing with lucrative purses and a hefty “mini-series” point fund.
The first ‘Colonial Clash Championship’ gets underway at Georgetown on June 2 when the Super Late Models battle for an increased $5,000 to win thanks to sponsor Bi-Rite Auto Sales of Seaford, Del. The 40-lap main offers $400 to take the green.
The complete race payout for the Super Late Model ‘First State 40’ at Georgetown is as follows: 1st) $5,000; 2nd) $2,500; 3rd) $1,500; 4th) $1,200; 5th) $1,000; 6th) $850; 7th) $750; 8th) $700; 9th) $600; 10th) $550; 11th) $500; 12th) $450; 13th) $425; 14th-24th) $400.
The Ultimate Super Late Model Series will break new ground in Delaware, making the furthest trek north in series history. However, racers will have plenty of incentive to make the tow.

Speedway.
