SMALL BLOCK SUPER CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TO OPEN SEASON ON MAY 14 AT EVANS MILLS RACEWAY PARK
Small Block Super Championship Series - OSWEGO, NY (May 7, 2022) – The first of five Jake’s Automotive Small Block Super Championship Series events is set to take the green flag on Saturday, May 14 at Evans Mills Raceway Park in Evans Mills, NY.
The 30-lap Jake’s Automotive SBSCS event will be presented by UltimateQM.com and will pay $1,000 to the winner at the 3/8 mile short track, located just outside of the Fort Drum Army Base in Northern New York State.
“After months of preparation and discussion, the first event of the season is finally on the doorstep,” said SBSCS Promoter, Dan Kapuscinski. “Special thanks to Lee and Peggy Gill for the work they do at Evans Mills as well as our event sponsor, UltimateQM.com, and all of our series partners including Jake’s Automotive, J&S Paving and Binghamton Truck & Tire Center for helping to make this new series possible. We have a good field of drivers set that are itching to get their 2022 season started at The Mills.”
Located on US Route 11 just outside of Evans Mills, Evans Mills Raceway Park was originally built by the Zeigler brothers of Boonville in 1967. Spending time as both a paved and dirt facility, Lee and Peggy Gill purchased the speedway in December of 2018, with a focused investment in growing pavement racing. In a short period of time, the speedway has once again risen to a favorite among competitors and fans, with the speedway having been established as a friendly, clean, safe and enjoyable destination for families to gather.
Running May through late September, the speedway hosts 54 hospitality suites with a grandstand seating capacity of 3,000. Along with the Small Block Supers the speedway hosts Modifieds, Pro Late Models, INEX Legends Cars and Stock Cars.
