LAKE CITY, FL \u2013<\/strong> The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco partnered with Casey Wegner of Wegner Automotive to develop a more affordable engine combination for the series and affiliate BD Motorsports Media LLC tracks.<\/p>\n

The Wegner-built \u2018Weekend Warrior\u2019 LS 427 was born and incorporated into the series\u2019 2022 rule book.<\/p>\n

During the recently completed \u2018Sunshine Swing\u2019 at RACETRACK99 in Lake City, Fla., Capital District driver David Schilling turned heads with the engine, available through Wegner Automotive of Markesan, Wis., for $22,500.<\/p>\n

East Greenbush, N.Y.\u2019s Schilling drove into the Beyea Custom Headers Redraw during two of three completed events and earned two top-10 finishes, the latter of which turned heads throughout Wendell Durrance\u2019s half-mile facility.<\/p>\n

Schilling started the Friday feature from 21st<\/sup> position in his PMC-built chassis and at one point had climbed to fourth position before crossing the Sunoco Race Fuels checkered flag sixth.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, he finished seventh in the overall \u2018Sunshine Swing\u2019 standings with more than 40 STSS Modified competitors registered.<\/p>\n

The $22,500 Wegner Automotive \u2018Weekend Warrior\u2019 LS 427 is a turn-key race engine which comes dyno-tested, fully encrypted and sealed to prevent tampering. In addition, a hydraulic roller cam makes for a durable, low maintenance setup.<\/p>\n
