Delaware super late model fans will have an “ultimate” experience next June at Georgetown Speedway.
On Thursday, June 2, 2016, the touring Ultimate Super Late Model Series will make its debut at the First State half-mile oval in a combined effort with three neighboring Mid-Atlantic Region facilities, kicking off four consecutive nights of super late model racing with lucrative purses and a hefty “mini-series” point fund.
The first Colonial Clash Championship presented by Dirt Nation gets underway at Georgetown on June 2 when the super late models battle for $4000 to win and $400 just to take the green flag. The Ultimate Super Late Model Series will break new ground in Delaware, making the furthest trek north in series history. However, racers will have plenty of incentive to make the tow.
Following the Georgetown event on Thursday, the Colonial Clash Championship continues on Friday (June 3) at Potomac (Md.) Speedway, Saturday (June 4) at Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Virginia, (for Ernie Shelton’s prestigious 39th annual USA 100) and concludes Sunday (June 5) at Winchester (Va.) Speedway.
A mini-series point fund of $15,000 will be distributed to the top-15 finishers in the Colonial Clash Championship with the champion earning $4000.
The Ultimate Super Late Model Series, operated by Stan Lester and managed by Kelly Carlton, has been in existence since 2011.
Carlton said the Colonial Clash Championship brings new excitement to the series.
“We want to thank everyone involved for putting this monster together,” Carlton said. “I am very excited about this seal. It’s good for the racers. It’s good for the fans. And we believe it will be good for the tracks, too.
“Racers can make a good long weekend out of it and have something to show for it in the end. Delaware is a little further north than we’ve been with the series, but with the point fund money and opportunities for good purses, I think it will make sense for our teams.”
Virginia Motor Speedway’s Bill Sawyer appreciates the cooperation of the four speedways to benefit racers.
“We wanted to do something to bring in more of the traveling fans to our USA 100 (paying $15,000 to win) and we knew if we could work together with some of the other tracks and promoters, we could do just that,” Sawyer said.
“It just shows that promoters can work together and have it be a good situation for everyone involved.”
Georgetown Speedway promoter Brett Deyo of BD Motorsports Media LLC said he sees nothing but positives from the arrangement.
“This is huge for Georgetown and Delaware Late Model racing,” Deyo said “We’re proud to be aligned with the other tracks and feel being part of such a rich series will draw some of the top names in super late model racing.”
