For the first time, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco will venture to Florida in 2020.

Series director Brett Deyo of BD Motorsports Media LLC and Wendell Durrance, the promoter of All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Florida, have reached an agreement for both the STSS big-block/small-block modifieds and STSS Crate 602 Sportsman divisions to compete at the half-mile oval next February.

Three consecutive nights of racing will follow one night of open practice, February 5-8, 2020, at All-Tech.

“This is a huge step forward for the Short Track Super Series brand,” Deyo said. “All eyes are on Florida in February. We’re looking forward to showcasing the Short Track Super Series exciting style of racing, its competitors and marketing partners next February.”

The STSS modifieds will race for some of the highest payout structures for the state of Florida. Following Wednesday night’s open practice, a 30-lap main event will be on the docket for Thursday paying $5,000 to win. On Friday, 40 laps will be run with the victor’s share boosted to $7,500. On Saturday, a 50-lap finale offers $10,000 to the winner.

“The modifieds will now have the opportunity to compete for purses comparable to the national super late model and 410 sprint car series,” Deyo said.

Two local divisions—tentatively the C Class Late Models and Thunder Stocks—will complete the shows.
