 THIS 
		WEEK AT PENN CAN SPEEDWAY

		
The great racing resumes at Penn Can Speedway in 
		Susquehanna on Friday with modifieds, 602 sportsman, street stocks, four 
		cylinders, and the first appearance of the Xcel 600 Modifieds.
		The factory stocks will be in the spotlight 
		running a 20 lap special feature event. The modified and 602 
		sportsman divisions have not had a repeat winner with great racing all 
		around. Memorial Day Weekend starts at Penn Can with the CRSA Sprints in 
		action along with the other Penn Can divisions sponsored by Gary’s 
		U-Pull-It. Friday June 1st is the huge bicycle give-away at the speedway 
		on Little League Night. The “Clash at the Can” is less than a month 
		away. Please mark Tuesday June 12th on the calendar as over fifty of the 
		best modifieds are expected to be in competition for the $10,000 to win 
		top prize.

		
KEVIN BATES WINS MOD FEATURE...

		
ROONEY, DEINHARDT, 
		CLEVELAND, and BRIGHAM WIN 

		
Kevin Bates took the lead early in the modified 
		feature race at Penn Can Speedway and held off a fast charging Mike 
		Colsten for his first win since the 2010 King of the Can. In the 602 
		sportsman feature Paul Rooney grabbed the top spot from Dusty Barton to 
		take his first win at Penn Can in seven years. In a very exciting street 
		stock feature former pure stock champion Steve Deinhardt held off Earl 
		Zimmer for his first win of the year. Ageless Gary Cleveland and Steve 
		Simpson raced side by side over almost the entire distance of the 
		factory stock feature with Cleveland getting the hard fought victory. 
		Andy Brigham continued his winning ways in the four cylinder feature 
		claiming his third straight win.

ATTENTION 602 
		SPORTSMAN: 

		
Penn Can 
		Speedway has established a final gear rule for 2012. All 602 sportsman 
		will be required to run  6.18 final gearing. Teams will be allowed to 
		run a higher gear (ex 6.12/6.07/6.02) but 6.18 is as low as teams can 
		go. The MSD rev box with the 6200 rpm chip may still be used but is not 
		mandatory. The right rear tire must be a minimum size of 29x11 dtw 
		American Racer. A smaller right rear tire may not be used. These rules 
		go into effect 4/20/2012. Penn Can Speedway reserves the right to alter 
		rules as required during the season if needed.

		
 

		
“KING OF THE CAN” 
		VOTED BEST RACE OF 2011 BY DIRT TRACK DIGEST FANS 

		
Dirt Track Digest, the popular 
		internet racing website and forum, has recently notified Penn Can 
		Speedway and Brett Deyo Motorsports Media that their co-promoted King of 
		the Can has been voted by their fans as  Best Race of 2011. The twice 
		postponed race that was finally run the second Sunday in November 
		produced an excellent field of car with the stands packed on an 
		unusually warm November day. Jeff Struck in the Norm Hansell owned car 
		seemed to have the race in hand until a late caution grouped the field. 
		Stewart Friesen in the Tadd Park’s ride used the caution to his 
		benefit.  Friesen dove to the inside of Strunk in turn one following the 
		restart and slid across the track and in front of Strunk. Friesen 
		motored away on the final lap to take his second Penn Can Speedway win 
		over Strunk , Pat Ward, Jimmy Phleps , 22nd starter Justin Holland.

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."
