Hy-Miler Weekend Draws Near with Huge Three Day Sandusky Event
(SANDUSKY, OH, July 3rd, 2015)- The calendar continues to approach the date of the Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals. This highly anticipated event is just under three weeks away and will feature no less than three touring groups as the Sandusky Speedway hosts the International SuperModified Association, the non-wing Buckeye Super Sprint Series and the Northcoast Vintage Oval Racers during a three day event scheduled to take place July 23rd, 24th and 25th!
First, the ever popular O’Reilly Auto Parts Fan Appreciation Night will feature the Buckeye Super Sprint Series as its headliner division on Thursday the 23rd. This series saw a radical change in the offseason, going from a restrictive winged series to a non-wing series with less restrictive motor rules. Joe Speakman holds the points lead by a healthy margin after winning the series’ first two events. However, Donavan Daniels won the most recent event following a wreck between Brian Vaughn and Frank Neill as well as Speakman’s motor troubles in preliminaries.
The speedway’s three stock car divisions and the aforementioned Northcoast Vintage Oval Racers will round out the action for this night of racing. One of the best parts of this event will be the price to the fan, as general admission tickets, pop, beer and hot dogs will all be just $1 apiece.
Friday the 24th will see the International SuperModified Association and the speedway’s weekly modified division run full racing programs in preparation for the longer and more prestigious Saturday events. The ISMA portion of Friday’s events will see “the world’s fastest short track racecars”, the winged supermodifieds, compete for forty laps around the half-mile speedway. Former winners of this Friday Night Fast 40 include Charlie Schultz, DJ Shullick, Mike Lichty and Ben Seitz. All of those drivers are expected in the field along with at least twenty more.
Saturday the 25th will bring the 38th annual Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals to a close in spectacular fashion as ISMA competes for one hundred laps. This will be complemented with the speedway’s modified division running a fifty lap feature. Dave McKnight, Mark Sammut, Timmy Jedrzejek and Shullick are all former winners of the 100 lapper and are expected in the field. DJ Shullick looks to capitalize on his points lead and previous wins in the event in order to collect a second trophy in the 100 lap affair.
