THE SHORT TRACK AUTO RACING STARS SERIES SET TO RETURN JUNE 2016!
Three Weeks. Fifteen Nights. One Champion. "STARS Are Born On Speedweeks!"
(Middlebourne, WV) – EDGE Entertainment, Inc. is excited to announce it will officially reboot the original 'Short Track Auto Racing Stars' Super Late Model Series in June of 2016. The series has sat idle since 2004. EDGE Entertainment has shown success in the Eastern race scene with the Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour and looks forward to adding it's full efforts into the Super Late Model ranks next season.
The revived but new look 'Summer S.T.A.R.S. Series' seeks to showcase fifteen races in just three weeks during the month of June as part of a 'Speedweeks' that will award the series champion with a $15,000 to win point fund. Officials expect to travel within a 250 mile radius of it's base in Middlebourne, WV but in all directions S, N, E, & W throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia & possible neighboring states.
The series will officially be named the 'Summer S.T.A.R.S' and has been granted rights to utilize the name, logo, and history by the appropriate powers. “We thank Carl Short for allowing us the opportunity to continue the legacy of the STARS series. The STARS series has rich tradition and strong roots in the region. We hope to revitalize it to the level it was in the 80's & 90's and plan to give it 110% in doing so†stated promoter, Cody Watson.
“We wanted to soft release the return early and will begin gathering tracks, drivers, and more info in the coming months. Our goal is to have a website online within the next month with more definitive info for fans available early in the fall†added Watson. “Our early goal is to pay $3,000 minimum to win on week day shows with $5,000 minimum to win on weekends and have a very lucrative pay off throughout the full field. Best put, an Eastern storm is on the horizon†concluded Watson.
A race director and series officials will be selected this summer. Watson plans to oversee the promotional/marketing of the tour and the day to day operations. For more info contact the series by emailing cody@starslm.com.
