Short Track Super Series Returns May 21 & 22 At North Carolina’s Tri-County Racetrack

BRASSTOWN, NC – The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco Modifieds are back on the track.

In an announcement made Tuesday night, STSS organizer Brett Deyo said the series will visit Ray Cook’s Tri-County Racetrack in Brasstown, N.C., for a two-night swing on Thursday, May 21 and Friday, May 22. This is an invitational, non-points event, with a maximum of 30 teams participating.

All attendees must follow CDC guidelines and social distancing policies. A limit on crew members per team will be released next week. All policies must be strictly adhered to for the safety of all in attendance.

Race fans will not be permitted at these events. They will be broadcast exclusively through Dirt Track Digest TV with one- and two-night packages.

Two nights of racing are planned: a 35-lap, $3,000-to-win main event on Friday and a 40-lap, $5,000-to-win program on Saturday. Complete purse information will be available in the coming days. A field of 24 cars will start each night. Should a sponsor be found, that number could increase or B-Mains could be included.
