Keystone
150 at UMI Motorsports Park and
Jennerstown Speedway Complex Announced
Statesville,
North Carolina (January 17, 2021) – Father’s Day weekend in
2021 will be filled with two evenings of Super Cup Stock Car Series
battles in Pennsylvania’s mountains.
The Keystone 150 at UMI Motorsports Park and Jennerstown
Speedway Complex will take place on Friday, June 18 and Saturday,
June 19.
The first leg of
75-lap feature racing will mark the return of the SCSCS after a
six-year absence at the Clearfield, Pennsylvania facility, which has
formerly operated under the names CNB Raceway Park, Central
Pennsylvania Speedway, and Clearfield Mountain
Speedway, as circle track excitement becomes a reality at the big
1/2-mile for the first time since 2015.
“We know the
local community has been eager to see asphalt cars hit the track at
Clearfield once again and the
time is finally right,” Ryan Kirkwood, President
of UMI Motorsports Park and UMI Performance Inc., an industry
leading suspension components manufacturer, remarked.
“It is great to have both speedways working together and it
will only benefit both of us along with the fans. We're
hoping to see this as an annual event in Pennsylvania and we're very
excited about it.”
Friday
will be a one-of-a-kind experience for those choosing to attend the
entire day. The evening
of SCSCS entertainment will be part of UMI’s all new TeamCross
weekend event festivities that are scheduled from Thursday through
Saturday. It is one of
few, if any, instances in which both Autocross and short track
racing disciplines are hosted at a motorsports venue and share
portions of the same track layout successively in a single day.
The 3,300-pound,
600 horsepower mean machines will then make the less than 90-mile
journey over to the Laurel Highlands region for the first of three
summertime visits this year. Saturday’s
main event will also be 75 laps in length, the longest SCSCS race distance
at the Jennerstown 1/2-mile oval since their inaugural appearances
in 2014. Five of the
track’s weekly divisions, including Late Models and the recently
reintroduced Pro Stock class, will additionally be in action.
“We are excited
to add an additional Super Cup Stock Car Series race to our schedule
along with the opportunity to work with management staff at UMI to
co-promote these races,” Bill Hribar, Jennerstown Speedway General
Manager, noted. “We
think the two shows, at two tracks, on consecutive days will attract
more drivers from longer distances as they will get twice the amount
of racing with the same travel expenses.”
As part of the
agreement between track management and series officials, common
methods throughout the historic weekend will comprise the special
format which sets it apart as a
treat that fans will not want to miss.
A pair of qualifying races will set the starting field on
both nights, a fresh concept for
the SCSCS.
Added incentives or bonuses will be determined
and announced for accomplishments such as winning
these shorter distance preliminary competitions
as well as the driver who has the best average finish between, or
potentially wins each of, the main events.
More information
and schedule regarding the upcoming two-night extravaganza will be
made available as it is finalized and fans can visit umimotorsportspark.com,
