Sarver, PA (September 5, 2008) After a two year hiatus, the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series, the premier touring series of Big Block Modifieds in the country, will return to the Lernerville Speedway to kickoff the first of day of the Advance Auto Parts Autumn-Motive Fest on Friday September 12. The Super DIRTcar Series touring regulars will do battle with Lernerville Speedway/BRP Modified Tour guns in the $6000-to-win North-South 100 portion of Modified Madness.
The Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series contingent is led by Series Points Leader Billy Decker, whom recently tied Brett Hearn’s single season record of ten series wins. Decker has not only won ten races on tour this season, including two of the past three series events (August 31 at Cayuga County Fair Speedway and September 1 at Rolling Wheels Raceway), but also checkered the most recent Super DIRTcar Series race at Lernerville Speedway back in 2006.
Dale Planck currently sits second in points and has won the second most features on tour with three trips to victory lane. Jimmy Phelps holds a slight lead over Big Block Icon and 2007 Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series Champion Brett Hearn. Meanwhile, Gary Tomkins (recent winner at Cornwall Motor Speedway on August 17) sits fifth in series points.
The Lernerville/BRP contingent is led by a trio of recently crowned track champions; Brian Swartzlander (Lernerville Track Champion), Kevin Bolland (Tri-City Track Champion) and Dave Murdick (Sharon Track Champion). Also defending their home turf will be gas mashers Del Rougeux Jr. and Jeremiah Shingledecker. BRP Tour regulars Rex King Jr., Russell King, Kevin Hoffman, Tom Mattocks and Joe Crawford are also expected to take part in the 100-lap, $6000-to-win shootout.
In addition to the North-South 100 for the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series/BRP Modified Tour, Modified Madness will also feature Small Block Modifieds and Mod Lites.
