HONORING OUR 2011 CHAMPIONS

PENN CAN SPEEDWAY GEARS UP FOR AN EXCITING NEW SEASON

Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania will be very busy in the months to come gearing up for what looks to be a very exciting 2012 season. A new purse structure for the street stocks and 602 sportsman has been planned for 2012.  Other announcements at the speedway banquet have unveiled plans by the speedway owners to step up and help modernize the facility. While plans are not completely settled, the management team and ownership look to work together making the speedway much more fan friendly in the coming years. Improvements on the spectator side of the facility are in the works for this spring. READ MORE

 

 

AN EXCITING NEW SEASON PLANNED FOR PENN CAN SPEEDWAY

Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania is coming off another successful racing season. Even with the weather playing havoc with the season ending King of the Can Weekend, the final event run Sunday November 13th was a success. With the Penn Can Speedway Banquet just around the corner, plans for the 2012 racing season are now in full swing.

   A recent meeting between the track owners and track operators Al Wilcox and Reed Miller has put to rest any rumors concerning the future of Penn Can Speedway. Plans are underway to continue operation of the speedway for years to come. The speedway owners and operators have begun plans to keep the facility in top condition. Many ideas have been discuss with projects to be started in the very near future.

The modifieds will continue to be the headline class at the speedway in 2012. Besides the two signature modified events (The Clash at the Can and The King of the Can) other weekly special events will dot the schedule for the Friday night regulars. Crate sportsman, street stocks, four cylinders, and factory stocks will be on the card most every Friday this coming season. Many incentives are in the works for all divisions and will be announced at the Penn Can Banquet. The very popular CRSA Sprint Cars will also return to the speedway with four scheduled events including a huge national RaceSaver event during the King of the Can Weekend. This event attracted over forty sprinters to the speedway last season and should attract more this year. After a season away from Penn Can Speedway the Xcel 600 Series makes its return to the three eighths mile oval. The 600 modifieds will also be involved with the two small car Sunday events planned for 2012.

   Unfortunately the speedway management has decided to not run the late model division in 2012. The decision was very difficult as Penn Can Speedway has been their home for many years. Dwindling car counts and the cost of racing a true late model made it almost impossible to continue. The drivers that did support the class over the last few seasons put on excellent shows for the fans and will be greatly missed.   READ MORE

PENN CAN SPEEDWAY HISTORY BOOK TO BE REWRITTEN WITH MODIFIED SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT

The Penn Can Speedway history book will be rewritten this season. On Tuesday night, June 7, the Susquehanna County clay oval located on the Pennsylvania/New York border vaults into the dirt Modified racing spotlight with the ‘Clash at the Can’ 60-lap Modified event paying a mammoth $8,000 to the winner. The event, co-promoted by Brett Deyo and the Penn Can management team of Al Wilcox and Reed Miller, will be the highest-paying race in speedway history. The ‘Clash at the Can’ event appropriately carries the slogan: “Making history, one dollar at a time.”

   Modified drivers across the Northeast are anxious to compete for the large payout on the tire-wear-friendly Penn Can one-third-mile layout, which eliminates the advantage for teams with large budgets or high-dollar engines.

    “Penn Can has never seen the likes of what the ‘Clash at the Can’ will bring this summer,” said Southern Tier star Brian Weaver of Windsor, N.Y., an eight-time Penn Can champion who has won in the region's dirt Modified action for the last 20 consecutive seasons. “This is a race that could bring a driver out or retirement. The sparks are going to fly.”

    "It has always been a good competitive racetrack," quipped Jeff Strunk, the Pennsylvania 358-Modified star who was a Penn Can regular in the mid-2000s. "You can't beat the racing there. You've got to be up on the wheel, from the first lap to the last lap. "A race like this (the 'Clash at the Can') raises the bar for the whole area."

    "These are the types of events you look for when you're planning out a season," Stewart Friesen, the reigning Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified Tour champion from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., offered "Penn Can is a track where you can go with one set of tires and run them all night. For car owners, it's cost-effective and it's in a central location."
