CHATHAM, La. — The Short Track Super Series is set to invade Chatham Speedway March 27 for its inaugural event in its first year of the STSS Cajun Regional series for Northeast-style modifieds.
Chatham’s promoter, Jerry Hobson, has been instrumental in helping grow the division in Louisiana. Last season, Hobson gave the Northeast drivers an opportunity to race during the COVID-19 restrictions in May with a pair of events won by Larry Wight and Matt Sheppard. In November, the STSS made a trek to “the Boot” for the ‘Mods in the Marsh 75’ at Chatham, and Sheppard walked off with a $20,000 payday.
Now, with the STSS taking the reins of the former Southern Super Modified Series, continued growth is expected throughout the season. A successful pre-season competitor meeting in Shreveport set the stage for solid car counts.
The series will have a 25-lap feature with a rain date of April 3.
