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."
