Written by Chris Moore

BLOOMSBURG, PA A new era begins.

On Wednesday, July 14, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco begins a new venture at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway for the inaugural Battle at Bloomsburg.™

The STSS big-block/small-block Modifieds with sail panels will tackle the freshly constructed three-eighths mile. The facility had not hosted auto racing in more than 35 years before returning to life in 2021.

The event will serve as Round No. 5 of the Hurlock Auto & Speed North Region for the STSS Modifieds, as part of the $12,000 championship chase for the 2021 season.

The Modifieds will tackle the new facility for 50-laps with the winner claiming a minimum of $5,000, and the honor of becoming the first dirt Modified winner at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway.

A minimum total purse of $25,170 is in place for the Modifieds, with $1,000 going to the 10th-place finisher and a minimum of $400 to each qualifying competitor plus numerous awards and certificates handed out at night™s end.

The STSS Crate 602 Sportsman will also be on hand, taking part in the historic event. Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will host Race No. 3 of the Precision Hydraulic & Oil North Region for the Crate 602 Sportsman.

A $1,500 winner™s share is up for grabs with $100 going to each qualified racer for the Sportsman.

For the July 14 event, pit gates open at 4 p.m., while grandstand gates open at 5 p.m. Hot laps begin at 6 p.m. with racing following at 7 p.m.

Adult grandstand admission is $25. Students (ages 13-18) pay $15 and Kids 12 and under are admitted FREE.
