    ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series Colonial Clash Purses and Point Fund Enriched

    Carnesville, Georgia (April 14, 2016) – The ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series announced today that their June Colonial Clash mini-series has had a point fund increase as well as 2 of the events having purse increases. Arizona Sports Shirts has added an additional $2000 to bring the total point fund to $17,000. The influx of cash will now have the 4-day event pay $5000 to the winner along with increased amounts at several other positions. The Colonial Clash presented by DirtNation is a 4 day mini-series hosted among 4 tracks on the Mid-Atlantic coast. The event will essentially be a series within a series currently with the point fund to be paid out among the top 15 for the mini-series.

    “Ernie Shelton’s USA 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway has long been one of the most prestigious events in the country. We are very honored that Bill Sawyer and Ernie have entrusted us to sanction this event. We also felt like if we could add a lead-in race that it would help to draw more cars and fans. So when we had such a positive response from the area tracks it really became a no-brainer for us. And after the rainout of the Aaron’s King of the Commonwealth Bill has transferred that sponsorship and purse to the USA 100 making it $20,000 to win. This is going to be an incredible weekend of racing.” said ULTIMATE Series Owner Stan Lester.

    “We wanted to do something to bolster up car counts and try to bring in more of the traveling fans to our USA 100 event. We knew if we could work together with some of the other tracks and promoters in the region that we could do just that. It just shows that promoters can work together and have it be a good situation for everyone involved. The USA 100 was already a big event but when you add these other races along with the point fund and the increase in the purse for the event I believe we can turn up the excitement and bring more drivers, sponsors and race fans into the fold.” said Virginia Motor Speedway’s Bill Sawyer.

    The Series will venture to 3 new venues for the mini-series. On Thursday, June 2nd the Series will open at Delaware’s Georgetown Speedway for a $5000 to win / 50 lap event. The Georgetown event was originally slated as a $4000 to win show but the purse was increased thanks to the addition of sponsor Bi Rite Auto Sales in Laurel, Delaware. Friday, June 3rd Potomac Speedway in Bud’s Creek, Maryland will host a $5000 to win / 50 lap event. On Saturday, June 4th the 39th Annual USA 100 features a purse boost and will pay $20,000 to win for the 60 lap feature. And finally racers will wrap up the weekend at Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Virginia with another $5000 to win / 50 lap show. The overall points champion will receive a $5000 point check along with other prizes. Drivers must attend all 4 events to be eligible for point monies. “The point payout is really solid. It now pays $600 for 15th. I think everyone will like what we put together.” ULTIMATE Series Director Kelley Carlton said.

    “We want to thank everyone involved in putting this monster event together. We are looking forward to working with Bret Deyo, who has taken the lease of Georgetown, along with Greg Gunter and Denise Hollidge at Potomac and Winchester. And of course we always enjoy working with Bill and Clarke Sawyer and their staff at Virginia Motor Speedway. In fact much of the credit for building this event goes to Brian Tidball and Dave Seay at Virginia Motor Speedway. We had already been talking to Greg and Denise about working together but Brian and Dave really helped things get put together. I am very excited about this deal. It’s good for the racers. It’s good for the fans. And we believe it will be good for the tracks too. Racers can make a good long weekend of it and have something to show for it at the end. Delaware is a little further North than we have ever been but with the point money and the opportunities to race for good purses, I think it makes sense for our teams.” added Carlton.

    The ULTIMATE Series tire rule for the event is as follows: All four corners choose from American Racer compounds 48, 53 and 56 or Hoosier compounds 1350, 1450 and 1600 along with ANY 70 allowed as a right rear only option.
