Written by Chris Moore

AFTON, NY – One-on-One Match races will return when the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco invades Afton Motorsports Park on Fri.-Sat. Oct. 7-8.

The 14th American Racer Cup Short Track SuperNationals at the picturesque Afton Motorsports Park features One-on-One Match Races for both the Modifieds and Crate 602 Sportsman over the weekend of racing.

The top representative from each track in American Racer Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuels standings (back to fifth place in track points) will be eligible to compete in the one-on-one match races for each division (Modifieds or Sportsman).

Once representatives are determined, drivers will pull numbers, with the lowest number racing first, having to climb their way up the proverbial ladder.

The driver who wins continues marching on until they are defeated or win the final match race and is thus crowned champion.

The Modified champion will walk away with $2,000 cash Saturday with $1,000 cash reserved for the Sportsman match race champion Friday.

Each participant in both the Modified and Sportsman Match Races will receive a free American Racer tire certificate courtesy of Lias Tire in Indiana, Pa.

The American Racer Cup Sportsman One-on-One Match races will take place Friday (Oct. 7) along with the Open vs. Crate Sportsman challenge paying $2,000-to-win with the posted gambler’s fee ($1,500 without).

Also on tap for Friday is the championship event for the CRSA 305 Sprint Cars, the Limited Sportsman (20 laps, $300-to-win), the Slingshots (20 laps, $300-to-win), and the STSS Modifieds taking part in open practice with the two quick timers locking into Saturday’s redraw.

The 50-lap, $5,500-plus STSS Modified main headlines Saturday as a non-points event for the STSS big-block/small-block Modifieds. The American Racer Cup One-on-One Modified Match races will also take place on Saturday night.
