American Racers For Short Track Super Series

The inaugural season for the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP is far from over, but plans are full-speed-ahead for 2015 and beyond.
In an announcement made at Penn Can Speedway on Tuesday during the fifth event of the six-race series, Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP organizer Brett Deyo revealed a three-year agreement has been reached with American Racer and Lias Tire Company, the regional distributor based in Indiana, Pa. The agreement sets American Racer as the exclusive tire of the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons.
“This is a huge step forward for the future of our series,” Deyo said of the announcement. “This year, we set out as a virtual unknown. Throughout the year, we’ve proven ourselves to our tracks, drivers and sponsors. Bringing American Racer and Lias Tire on board will be a benefit for all involved.”
The Short Track Super Series was launched by Deyo during the 2013-2014 off-season and kicked off with a six-race ’14 schedule offering a $10,014 championship from a point fund of more than $23,000. Many national and regional companies signed on to provide contingency support and product awards.
While the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP has operated under an open tire rule in its inaugural season, American Racer has overwhelmingly been the tire of choice for racers. During the three most recent events – I-88 Speedway in July, Accord Speedway in August and Penn Can in September – the entire modified field opted for American Racer tires.
“Our racers have shown they prefer to use the American Racers when they have the choice,” Deyo said. “All of our teams are outfitted with these tires already. Having an existing inventory will save money from the start.”
As part of the American Racer-Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP agreement, racers will benefit from a solid point fund, attendance incentives, tire giveaways and other perks.
“This decision was made with the stability of our series and our racers in mind,” Deyo said.
Lias Tire, the American Racer distributor for Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, welcomed the opportunity to serve the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP.
“We are all very excited to be an active participant in the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP,” said Matt Brandle, Lias Tire Sales & Marketing. “We’ve been watching the series this season and have all been very impressed. It’s a positive agreement for all parties.”
