While all heat races, consolations and the B-Main for Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP Modifieds take place on Saturday (Oct. 11), there is added incentive for Modifieds to attend on Friday night (Oct. 10) for open practice and the preliminary program.
On Friday night, Modifieds taking practice will have their times recorded by the I-88 Speedway transponder system. The five fastest Modifieds will be entered into a 10-lap Dash for Cash. The winner of the Dash will earn a redraw position in Saturday’s 50-lap feature. The other participants will receive $50 cash courtesy of Manmiller Electric.
The Dash winner will not have to run any qualifying events on Saturday! They will be locked into the redraw of top qualifiers.
Registration for the Modifieds is currently open at $15 through Oct. 1 and $20 from Oct. 2 through race day. The entry form can be found at the following link: http://bdmotorsportsmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/2014-Short-Track-SuperNationals-Official-Modified-Entry-Form.pdf
