Story By: BRETT DEYO / SHORT TRACK SUPER SERIES – MILLSBORO, DE – Good stuff cheap. Ollie’s, America’s largest retailer of closeout merchandise and excess inventory, partners with the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco for the 2024 season for a new, combined North and South regional point fund.
The Ollie’s Overall Championship for 2024 offers a $40,000 total combined point fund for STSS Modified competitors in the ’24 campaign.
The new Ollie’s Overall Championship will combine point standings from the STSS Modified River Valley Builders North Region and NJ Quality Drywall South Region to reward competitors logging miles across both regions of the series.
“The Ollie’s Overall Championship is a win-win for Short Track Super Series competitors and fans,” series founder Brett Deyo said. “For our teams, there are 40,000 reasons to compete more frequently in both regions. For fans, there will be more diverse fields at each event.”
Ollie’s Overall Championship points will be determined by combining River Valley Builders North Region and NJ Quality Drywall South Region standings.
The top-12 drivers will share in a point fund of $40,000 as follows: 1. $10,000; 2. $6,000; 3. $3,500; 4. $3,000; 5. $2,500; 6. $2,400; 7. $2,300; 8. $2,200; 9. $2,100; 10-12. $2,000.

For ’24, STSS Modified competitors will challenge for $133,300 in point fund money.
Eighteen different tracks comprise the ’24 STSS schedule across six states and two Canadian provinces. Twelve events pay $10,000 or more to the winner this season.
Several Ollie’s-Short Track Super Series discount ticket giveaways and store appearances are planned throughout the ’24 season and will be publicized through the STSS social media channels.
