Pair
of Premier Tracks Each Sign Up for a Pair of 2020 SCSCS Events
Statesville,
North Carolina (October 28, 2019) – The initial pieces to the
2020 puzzle are coming together only a few short weeks after the
12th season of Super Cup Stock Car Series action concluded.
Two perennial mainstays that have provided a great amount of
support and excitement over the years are once again committed to
two events each on the schedule.
Much
like 2019, next year will begin and end at Thornburg, Virginia’s
Dominion Raceway. The
entertainment complex will be celebrating its fifth full season of
racing on the 4/10-mile oval, hosting the SCSCS since 2017 and
before that at the previously operated Old Dominion Speedway a
couple times. The
multi-use facility also features a 2-mile road course, karting and
drag racing layouts, live concerts at the Groove Music Hall, and
community events at the 118 Bar and Grill; all venues on the same
property often intersecting with race weekends.
The entire Dominion
staff and SCSCS officials greatly enjoy the association that has
become established and both are pleased to make this announcement
toward continuing to build upon past success.
“It’s a real
honor to work with (Director of Competition) Joe Schmaling and his
team at SCSCS,” facility co-owner and promoter Steve Britt stated.
“They are seasoned
promoters just like us and they work extra hard to keep their car
counts strong and bring great racing action to the tracks that they
visit each year. We are
already super excited about 2020 and look forward to all of the
Super Cup teams being back with us for their opener on May 2,
2020.”
The final event of
the championship series will take place on Saturday, September 26.
Bob Schacht won the final race of 2019, his fourth at
Dominion, and on that night added some positive sentiments.
“This is an
awesome track. The
people are nice here and (Steve Britt) is awesome.
Good racing up here.”
Thornburg, Virginia
and the surrounding area additionally offer opportunities for
families to turn their stay into a vacation with sufficient lodging
and dining options, state and amusement parks to explore, various
historic monuments and museums nearby, and a short distance drive to
major cities such as Richmond and Washington, D.C.
Pennsylvania’s
Jennerstown Speedway Complex has renewed their dedication as a
premier share of the schedule with two exciting summer events for
the 3,300 pound, 600 horsepower full-bodied touring series teams.
2020 will mark the fifth year for the current ownership
group, who have led a tremendous effort and realized commendable
results revitalizing the 1/2-mile historic oval.
“The entire staff
is happy to continue our great relationship with the series,” Bill
Hribar, General Manager for the track, recently commented.
The always popular
July date is back for a fourth straight year, falling on the 11th of
the month next year. Jennerstown
will also have a pivotal presence within the late season pursuit for
points. SCSCS returns to
its prior favorable August slot on the 22nd, the first of the
championship series events in 2020.
With a host of
outdoor activities in the Laurel Highlands area and its close
proximity to Pittsburgh, the SCSCS is one part of the picture to put
Jennerstown on the map as a destination for fans, drivers, and their
families. The Must See
Sprints, NASCAR Modified Tour, CARS Tour and annual Motor Mountain
Masters Late Model events are all contributing toward that goal in
2020 and beyond as well.
Three drivers have
participated in all 11 events / 22 races held at the facility since
2015, combining for six total wins.
While Bill Ashton and Brent Nelson had their share of
triumphs in previous seasons, 2019 finally put Kevin Kromer in the
win column at the track not only once, but three times to the
delight of the mass audience on hand en route to his first overall
championship.
“It goes to show
the fan support the drivers in this area have in this division and
the fan support I have,” Kromer mentioned following his evening
sweep last July. “I
don’t live here and I don’t race here every weekend, but the fan
support they give me here is just astronomical.”
With identification
of the unwavering support in which specific facilities have shown
over time, the Super Cup Stock Car Series has established in
conjunction with each to formulate a Premier Track program. The
intention is to build upon existing relationships for years into the
future through various cross-promotions, which have become
increasingly crucial for the strength and forward movement of both
the series and its members.
