Big Diamond STSS ‘Anthracite Assault’ Rescheduled for Tuesday, June 16

MINERSVILLE, PA – As regulations for COVID-19 begin to
ease in parts of the Northeast, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super
Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco gets back in drive for the 2020 season.

Big Diamond
Speedway owner Jake Smulley and STSS organizer Brett Deyo have announced the
reschedule of the ‘Anthracite Assault’ for Tuesday,
June 16. The event had originally been slated for June 2.

Fans will be
permitted to attend this event at the Schuylkill County track. The program will
also be streamed live on Dirt Track Digest TV.

The Big Diamond
‘Anthracite Assault’ will offer dual points toward the STSS Velocita-USA South
Region presented by Design for Vision and Sunglass Central (Race No. 3) and the
opener of the Halmar International North Region.

Modifieds
race 50 laps for $5,000 to win, $1,000 for 10th and $400 to take the
green flag plus special awards and bonuses.

STSS Crate
602 Sportsman will also be in action, battling 25 laps for a $1,500 top prize
and $100 to take the green, Race No. 3 of the series’ South Region.

A complete
information sheet for the event is forthcoming.

The Afton
(N.Y.) Motorsports Park ‘Afton Action 50’ that had been scheduled for June 16
has been postponed indefinitely due to New York State not allowing fans for
sporting events. Afton Motorsports Park promoter Ron Ford hopes to host the
event later in 2020.

Up next for
the STSS is the ‘Battle at Budd’s Creek’ at Potomac Speedway in Budd’s Creek,
Md., on Sunday, June 7 with the STSS Modifieds and STSS Crate 602 Sportsman
vying for South Region points. This event marks the first-ever visit by the
series to Potomac and the state of Maryland.
