Super Cup Stock Car Series Shifts Focus toward a Banner 2021 Effort

Statesville, North Carolina (July 14, 2020) – Often when weighing options in life, a realization becomes evident where a decision has to be made that is not necessarily going to fully satisfy everyone.

The Super Cup Stock Car Series entered 2020 with an immense amount of momentum and perhaps its most balanced schedule yet.  Unfortunately, right off the bat the first one-third of that slate was wiped out due to health restrictions which temporarily limited facilities set to host the series from operating altogether.

Setting forth toward the summer months, tracks began to reopen on their own terms in accordance with local guidelines.  Nevertheless, as a touring series with a vast footprint, constant considerations have been required in the process of salvaging a championship season.  Therefore, a month-by-month approach was initially taken.

Numerous plans have to fall in place regarding various logistics not always seen on the surface, including vetting obstacles such as unexpected travel and availability conflicts.  Appropriate personnel, almost all of which volunteer their services on a part-time basis, and race day details have to be properly assembled well before the green flag flies.  Additionally, the current landscape, whether or not those affected entirely agree with it, has the potential to keep select key team and family members loyal to the series over the years from being able to attend during an abbreviated and still somewhat unknown short-term period.  Given all of the hours and days spent analyzing all of these factors, it has proven difficult at this time to confidently put on a show complete with what the series has become known for and the fans truly deserve.

As a result, SCSCS officials have concluded to forego the remainder of 2020 and instead utilize the summer and fall as a perfect opportunity to get a head start and be better prepared to rebound for the ensuing year.

The majority of generous partners have been informed and contacted with all graciously indicating their ongoing commitment for 2021 and beyond.  The series wishes each of them the best as they continue to bounce back from and overcome challenges being faced at this point in time.

Director of Competition, Joe Schmaling, is taking this downtime to actively look over, simplify, and update the rulebook, which will be available at www.supercupstockcarseries.com shortly.  The series plans to introduce an accelerated timeline for registration submission and initial payment in advance of 2021.  The intention is to have the full schedule released around October, and it will be heavily dictated geographically by the supported commitments received.  Anyone with interest should relay questions to Schmaling by calling (828) 768-3589 or emailing JoeSCSCS@gmail.com.

Next season will still feature many anticipated storylines, plus much more.  Walnutport, Pennsylvania’s Kevin Kromer will look to become the first driver since 2012 to repeat as champion and increase his lead in all-time top five and top 10 finishes, Hickory, North Carolina’s Ben Ebeling is focused on becoming the first driver to win at least once in five consecutive seasons, Freeport, New York’s Ron Langdon is set to resume his active streak of 21 straight top 10 finishes, and Uniontown, Pennsylvania’s Bill Ashton wants to make his 50th consecutive start and ultimately eclipse the current record held by Petersburg, West Virginia’s Brent Nelson, who will certainly be back in competition as well.

The Super Cup Stock Car Series social media pages will continue to be updated fairly frequently. Fans can visit Facebook (search Super Cup Stock Car Series), Twitter (@SCSCSRacing), and Instagram (SCSCS_Racing) for more information.
