CONCORD, NC (July 28, 2004) - The Sunoco Super Series and the Short Track Racing website Speed51.com have formed a partnership for the 2004 season.

Speed51.com will host the SSS Most Popular Driver award on its website and provide the winner with a new website design.

"It's great to get involved with the Sunoco Super Series. I have been a big fan since the series was called by a different name," said Speed51.com editor Bob Dillner. "It visits most of the major short tracks in the Midwest and it has quite a fan following. We can see that on our Speed 51 message board forums. To be able to include those fans into what we are doing and have them determine the winner of a major post-season award will be big."

"SSS has some really talented drivers. There are some legendary short trackers like Junior Hanley along with some rising stars who we will see in the higher levels of stock car racing over the next few seasons. It will be very interesting to see who the fans like when they cast their votes for this award."

The winner, who will receive a new web design (51 now designs sites for everyone from Nextel Cup competitors Jamie McMurray and Scott Wimmer to short track teams around the nation), will be announced at the year-end Sunoco Super Series championship awards banquet. The total prize is valued at $5,000. Voting will take place from the Speed51.com website and will continue through November 1st. Drivers who attempt to qualify for 15 of the 20 events will be eligible for the award. You can also visit a link on sunocosuperseries.com that will bring you directly to Speed51.com.

"The Sunoco Super Series is one of the core forms of racing that we cover at Speed 51," explained Bob Dillner, who is also a NASCAR commentator and ARCA "play-by-play" announcer on SPEED Channel. "I try and get out to as many races as I can during the season along with Jeremy Troiano and Matthew Dillner. We will bring fans the behind-the-scenes stories of short track racing. In fact, Jeremy is headed to Toledo, OH, for this weekend’s Sunoco Super Series race."

Speed51.com will be filing its unique race stories and features on SSS racing. Speed51.com has also become the "official message board" for SSS fans to comment on things happening in the series.

Speed51.com has become a leader in online Motorsports information by focusing on the short track racing realm. 51 realized nearly three years ago that there was a void in the industry for this type of news and behind-the-scenes stories. Now, 51 is viewed by thousands of viewers per day.
