MILL HALL -- A partnership is brewing between Clinton County Speedway and Lee Powers, of Floating Feathers Brewing Company, Mill Hall.
The two are working together to produce a 16-ounce pilsner for the speedway, according to the press release.
"Working with Lee and his staff, we came up with the idea of a special beer for our largest race of the season, said Jason McCahan, speedway promoter. "On Saturday, Aug. 12, we host the 410 Sprint Cars for the Phil Walter Classic, paying $6,300 to win and now we have a beer for our biggest race of the season."
The can will feature a checkered flag background with both the Clinton County Speedway and Floating Feathers Brewing Company logos and Billy Dietrich's #8 Sprint Car, according to the release. Dietrich is the defending champion of this specific race.
Five-hundred cans of the beer are being produced. Fans can preorder the beer via Clinton County Speedway's website, Facebook page or by visiting forms.office.com/r/zSUEK09YjK.
Those who preorder the cans can pick them up at the Floating Feather's beer truck on race day. Cans are sold as singles or in four-packs, the release said.
"We are very excited at Floating Feathers to provide locally made beers and ciders with local ingredients for our local speedway," Powers said in the release. "Giving back proceeds of every beer to improve our local track is important to us. Come out and enjoy the fast-paced action of the Phil Walter Classic with a Floating Feathers brewski."
"The 410 sprint car events are very popular," McCahan said. "We offer something unique in that we are a Central PA short track and the 410 sprints put on an exciting show every time they come to Clinton County."
Clinton County Speedway is a 1/3 mile oval located in central Pennsylvania offering weekly short track racing. For more information, visit clintoncountyspeedway.com.
