KIRKWOOD, N.Y. – BD Motorsports Media LLC has reached an agreement with the promoters of New York’s Five Mile Point Speedway to bring the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco Modifieds to the venue.
The event, scheduled for May 3, will be known as the 70th Anniversary Special and feature the Short Track Super Series and Crate 602 Sportsman. It is the first time since 2013 that BD Motorsports Media LLC has promoted an event at the facility.
The STSS Modifieds will compete in a $7,000-to-win, 51-lap main event. The 51-lap distance reflects the first year of operation at the speedway: 1951.
The Crate 602 Sportsman ($1,500 to win) and four-cylinders will complete the tripleheader program.
For the STSS modifieds, the event marks two of the Halmar International North Region. The Crate 602 Sportsman program will open the STSS North Region title fight.
“Five Mile Point Speedway is celebrating a milestone season in 2020,” Brett Deyo of BD Motorsports Media LLC. “We are looking forward to being part of the 70th anniversary celebration.”
Prior to the formation of the Short Track Super Series in ’14, BD Motorsports Media LLC promoted events at Five Mile Point from 2009 to 2013.
The most recent event – on Oct. 12, 2013 – was won by Craig Hanson. Prior Five Mile Point winners include Danny Tyler (2012), Duane Howard (2011), Justin Holland (2010) and Kevin Hirthler (2009).
