Image
The Super Cup Stock Car Series has announced the dates and locations for its ninth full season of racing. The 2016 schedule will consist of eight points races at five tracks in three states.
Midvale Speedway hosts the season opener on Saturday, May 14 as part of Frontier Tool and Equipment Rental night. This will mark the fifth straight year the series has visited the 3/10-mile facility, but the first to take place in the spring.
Starting with Midvale, SCSCS drivers and teams will be showcased in front of a national audience on several occasions. Production of races as part of a renewed partnership with Sopwith Motorsports will air at a later date on MAVTV and LucasOilRacing.tv for the first time.
Race No. 2 taking place on Saturday, June 18 will be the site of the final series race at Columbus Motor Speedway. The 1/3-mile Ohio oval that has supported the series since 2009 announced it will close at the completion of the year, and SCSCS will be part of a final send-off to the Nuckles family that is being billed as “The Final Lap.”
The summertime swing then heads to Jennerstown Speedway in Pennsylvania for dates on Saturday, July 9 and Saturday, August 27. Both of these events will feature twin 50 lap races, each for points toward the championship, with one race taking place in the daylight and the other closing the night.
In between visits to Pennsylvania, teams will travel south and make a long awaited return to Lonesome Pine Raceway on Saturday, August 6. Five SCSCS races were held at the southwest Virginia 3/8-mile between 2008 and 2010, each of those years with an event on the same particular summer weekend. It will mark the first trip for the series to the Commonwealth since 2013.
Currently scheduled to conclude the 2016 regular season will be a show at Motordrome Speedway in Smithton, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, September 17. At this time, series officials are awaiting further information on whether there will be a new promoter in place for the ½-mile track before immediately considering changing the location of the championship-deciding event.
All dates and times are subject to change without notice.
