Sim Marketing Solutions All-Star Clash Announced!

Once our 2018 Summer Season champions are crowned and the season is wrapped up, we have one more special event planned to wrap things up as Sim Marketing Solutions will present the All-Star Clash! Our version of an all-star race will put some of the leagues best drivers from the SMS Super Series, the Davis Chassis Works Contender Series, the Callaway Investments Sportsman Series, and the EastWest Modifieds, and we'll throw them all out on track together to compete head-to-head in an epic multi-class race for some extra prize money.

The SMS All-Star Clash will take place on Thursday, August 23rd and will use a special Predator format to give each division the chance to battle for the win at the end of 150 laps around the Irwindale Speedway. The Street Stocks will take the green flag as scheduled, while the Super Late Models and Tour Modifieds will be staged out at different times shortly after, forcing them to work their way back to the lead lap, with the ultimate goal of all three cars finishing the race on the same lap. And with the added strategy of making a mandatory four-tire pit stop during the course of the race, it makes it that much more important to be focused on the track, and on pit road.

In addition to the All-Star Clash, we’ll also be running a Dirt Clash for the first time, on Wednesday, August 22nd. The Dirt Clash will kick things off with drivers battling it out at the Eldora Speedway in multiple divisions, including our current UMP Modifieds and Midgets, plus some of our previous cars such as the Pro Late Model and Non-Wing Sprint car.

Following the dirt race, we’ll also run the Clash Open, which will be an open event for all asphalt drivers as a pre-event to the big All-Star Clash. Drivers already in the Clash can use this event as a test, while all other drivers who didn’t get the invite can get their chance to try their hand in this all-out battle. The Open will be 100 laps in length at Irwindale, with a mandatory four-tire pit stop, and we’ll use some of the information from this event to work out the numbers for our Predator format.
