Positions 9-24 and all non-qualifiers in the Super Late Model class and positions 4-24 and all non-qualifiers in the Semi-Late Model Sportsman class will receive a $75 Frankland Racing Supply product card. This will increase the total value of cash and prizes to $475 to start and $275 for non-qualifiers for Super Late Models and $225 to start and $175 for non-qualifiers for Semi-Late Model Sportsman! This is IN ADDITION to the $2,000 that has been added to the payoffs across all classes from the 1st Speedmonster event for “Revolution/Ron Strait Championship!”

Hesston has become a powerhouse* of late model racing in the region (*t-440). In 2012, “Motor Mountain” has averaged 41 Super Late Models and 68 total late model-type cars at its mega-events. With its unique, multi-level rules sets, Hesston has also become the premier showdown track in the area. Virtually every car in the region in the divisions that Hesston runs is legal and will be competitive with weight breaks and spoiler variances for different equipment types. This makes Hesston a true place for race teams to face off to determine who earns the bragging rights of being the best in their division.

The Speedmonster/3 State Flyers will pay $5,100 to win and $400 to start for the 55 lap championship race. Super Late Model non-qualifier pay has been increased to an unprecedented amount of $200 for “Revolution/Ron Strait Championship.” This increase in tow money makes Hesston the highest paying track for those positions in the region.

Semi-Late Model Sportsman (limited/crate/steel block late models) will see increased pay of $1,100 to win and $150 to start at this race. Non-qualifers will receive $100, which was already doubled from last year’s tow money for the 1st Speedmonster event. Additionally, the highest finishing crate late model with a top 5 finish will receive a $400 bonus.

A-Cadets (street/pro-stock) will now race for an increased payoff of $700 to win and $90 to start on July 3. Non-qualifiers will receive $60, which had also already been increased for the 1st Speedmonster event. Roadrunners will now compete for $222 to win. Once again, their start money has been increased to $45 because of the previous car count. The Hobby-Modifieds will compete for an increased payoff of $500 to win and $50 to start, sponsored by Bedford County Tree & Lawn Solutions of Everett, PA.

Nick (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)son of Lewistown, PA stunned the record crowd at the 1st Speedmonster Super Late Model event this season by winning from the 24th restating position, in a race where the top 9 advanced 58 positions. (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)son and Gregg Satterlee of Rochester Mills, PA currently are tied for the lead in the Speedmonster Super Series championship, which pays $2,000 to the champion from a $5,000 point bonue fund. Satterlee is also leading 3 State Flyer points after claiming a win at Natural Bridge Speedway last weekend. Jeff Rine and Jeremy Miller both have Super Late Model wins at Hesston in 2011 and sit 3rd and 4th in Speedmonster points with Mike Lupfer rounding out the top 5.

Rick Singleton of Huntingdon, PA was the Semi-Late Model Sportsman championship feature winner and currently leads track points. Khi Swanger of Huntingdon, PA won the A-Cadet championship feature. Rick Potter of Everett, PA came home the winner in the Hobby—Modifieds. Adam Pletcher of Johnstown, PA started 20th on the grid and roared forward to win in the Roadrunners.

All 5 divisions will be competing in “Revolution/Ron Strait Championship”, with feature-only, extended-lap formats for the Hobby-Modifieds and Roadrunners. The Super Late Model feature will be 2nd in rotation, with only necessary races in between sets of Super Late Model races to give those teams enough time to work on their cars. The remaining 3 features will be run after the Super Late Models.

All classes will have warm-ups. Hobby-Modifieds and Roadrunners features have been extended 5 laps to offset the elimination of the heat races. A-Cadets will run without a time limit at this event since their last 2 championship races saw the time limit expire. The A-Cadets will be 1 of the features after the Super Late Models
