MILLSBORO, DE – The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco roars into season No. 10.

Three major events kick off the season during the month of March for both the STSS Modifieds and STSS Crate 602 Sportsman as the series celebrates its milestone 10th anniversary season.

Rain, Stewart Friesen and David Schilling made headlines in the recent STSS swing through Fla.’s All-Tech Raceway. Friesen, of Sprakers, N.Y., won for a series-leading 37th time, while East Greenbush, N.Y.’s Schilling broke through for his first, the 38th different driver to win with the STSS. Heavy precipitation unfortunately wiped out the final two nights in Florida.

Maryland’s Hagerstown Speedway hosts the Modifieds for the first time in a decade on Saturday, March 11 with an open practice on Friday, March 10.

The second season for the STSS ‘Elite’ program gets underway at Hagerstown in a joint points-paying event. Both the ‘Elite’ program and Rent Equip/Party Central South Region will accrue points at the ‘Mods in the Mid-Atlantic’ special.

A massive payout awaits the Hagerstown STSS Modified contingent, with $12,000 reserved for the winner, $2,000 for 10th and $1,000 just to take the green flag for a 50-lap event.

The Belmont’s Garage South Region for Crate 602 Sportsman jumpstart the 2023 season with a $2,000-to-win 30-lap event at Hagerstown.
