The historic event offers a big payout for the winner along with the honor of adding their name to the win list of the prestigious event. For the fans, the event produces memories of big name drivers who come and compete in the event that they don’t normally see on a regular Saturday night.

A 100-mile, 200-lap grind that has withstood the test of time, the Fonda 200 at historic Fonda Speedway is set for its 32nd running this weekend, Thursday through Saturday September 12-14. $53,000-plus awaits the winner of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco ‘200’ on Saturday night, the culmination of a jam-packed three-day weekend of speed at the “Track of Champions”.
