by Contributor | August 28, 2017 1:51 pm

OSWEGO, NY – Oswego Speedway’s contingencies for this Sunday, September 3’s Budweiser International Classic 200 for the Novelis Supermodifieds have continued to thrive this season, with over $15,000 being paid to the 34 drivers set to start the marquee event for non-wing Supermodified racing.

$5,000 in lap money alone will be distributed, along with over $3,000 in bonuses, including the returning Insinger Performance Halfway Leader bonus, along with the Central NY Chevy Dealers Front Row Qualifier bonuses, plus the Supermodified Last Car Running and Highest Finishing Canadian bonuses in memory of Norm and Vi Helbock.

Lap money pays a minimum of $25 a lap, this season adding up to more than $5,000 in cold hard cash. The purse will remain the same for the 200 in 2017, with $75,000 being paid out over the 34 guaranteed starting positions.

Joining the various contingencies and bonuses is a minimum of $600 to be paid to each starter for the Bud Light Classic Semis that does not start the International Classic, along with a minimum of $300 in tow money presented to any car on hand that does not start the Bud Light Classic Semis and therefore does not qualify for the Budweiser International Classic.

All in all, more than $90,000 will be handed out to Supermodified competitors this weekend between bonuses, purse, lap, and tow money, allowing Oswego Speedway to continue its reputation for hosting the richest, most prestigious Supermodified race in the country.

Classic Weekend action gets started this Friday, September 1 as Central New York Chevy Dealers ‘Pole Day’ Qualifying will take place for the Supermodifieds and Small Block Supers ahead of the Bud Light Classic 75 and Budweiser International Classic 200 which will both take place this Sunday, September 3. A ‘Party in the Pits’ featuring a performance by Dirtroad Ruckus along with the top 6 Pathfinder Bank SBS redraw will take place at the infield stage to conclude the evening’s program.
