FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reconfigured Track Welcomes Race Teams to the $80,000 UFo “Stateline ShootOut†September 8-9-10
(Mars, PA) The new ownership of the New Stateline Speedway in Busti, NY will host their first multi-day, mega-event on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, September 8, 9, 10. The UFo/Mod Tour “Stateline ShootOut†will pay out $80,000 in prize money over the weekend.
Continuing their directive to make Stateline Speedway the showplace of motorsports in the PONY region, the track configuration has been improved for even more exciting racing action. The banking on the inside of the turns has been reduced, while the outer portion of the track has been banked higher. This will allow drivers to use the entire width of the track and generate more side-by-side, three and four wide racing action. The track’s program last Saturday was the first test of the new configuration with great success.
The new ownership of Stateline Speedway has set high standards for all of their events in their first full season. The “Stateline ShootOut†will close out their racing year by continuing that trend. Over $80,000 will be offered to race teams in the competing divisions. With strong fan and race team support of this event, the track owners plan to grow this into one of the premier events in the region.
The star attractions of the event will be the UFo Super Late Models competing in two complete racing programs for $2,500 and $5,000 to win, and the Mod Tour Inc. Big Block Modifieds racing for $2,500 to win. All other of Stateline’s excellent divisions will compete for championship payoffs including RUSH Crate Late Models for $2,000 to win*, Outlaw E-mods for $1,400 to win*, Street Stocks for $600 to win*, RUSH Pro-Mods for $500 to win, Super Sportsman for $350 to win, Pure Stocks $250 to win and Challengers for $200 to win.
Stateline Speedway has extended the UFo “Instant Bonus Payoff†to the top 11 drivers in the point standings for this massive event. Any of the top 11 drivers (which are all of the drivers with multiple UFo appearances this year) will receive one $200 bonus for the weekend on top of their event winnings upon event attendance and program completion.
The “Stateline ShootOut†will kick off on Thursday, September 8 with an open practice for all divisions. Race teams are reminded that the only other practice sessions of the weekend will be green-white check warm-ups on Friday, September 9 for only the UFo Super Late Models and MTI Big Block Modifieds.
On Friday, September 9, the “Battle at the Border†will showcase two premium divisions paying a total of $5,000 to the winners. The UFo Super Late Models will compete in a full program with a 38 lap championship feature paying $2,500 to win, $200 to start and $125 for non-qualifiers. The MTI Big Block Modifieds will also race in a full program with a 35 lap championship paying $2,500 to win. The RUSH Crate Late Models, Outlaw E-mods and Street Stocks will race in qualifying heat races. The RUSH Pro-Mods will race in their full program.
