The first Twisted Tea Dash for Cash on Wednesday, June 21st will also feature a visit from the New England Supermodified Series (NESS) and the EdenRafferty Limited Sportsman Clash for Cash as the popular full-fendered division goes for extra cash bonuses on the Wednesday Night midweek opener. Twisted Tea will return as the headlining sponsor of the second Open Outlaw Modified Dash for Cash event on Wednesday, July 26th that will include special Double Features for the popular SK Light Modifieds. 

The agreement continues a partnership that began in 2020.

As part of the agreement, Boston Beer Company products will be sold in the Thompson Speedway concession area for fans of legal drinking age. 

“We’re very proud and excited to continue our partnership with the Boston Beer Company,” PASS President Tom Mayberry said. “Our fans have told us how much they enjoy watching some great racing while responsibly enjoying Boston Beer Company products on a warm summer night.”
