Increased Purses, New Championship Highlight DIRTcar Promoters Meetings
Image
DIRTcar Racing track promoters from across the Northeast recently came together to establish the foundation and direction for the 2019 racing season under new Super DIRTcar Series and DIRTcar Northeast Director Dean Reynolds. DIRTcar’s mission statement is to continue leading the way in competition, safety and professionalism.
Among key moments from the meeting with 50-plus promoters and officials is the news that for the first time in 15 years, the Super DIRTcar Series purse will substantially increase. Every race on the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds schedule will carry a minimum of $7,500 to win, with many at the $10,000 level for NAPA Super DIRT Week Qualifiers, including the return to Eldora Speedway. Other purse highlights include a $1,000 payday for 10th position and $500 to start.
An all-new Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship was also unveiled, with tracks awarding points for Big-Block Modifieds, 358 Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds, and Pro Stocks. A driver’s best 16 finishes from their home tracks are counted toward the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship, where nearly $37,000 in cash and nearly $8,000 in VP Racing Fuels certificates will be distributed in 2019.
In addition, Ransomville Speedway and Land of Legends Raceway were named VP Racing Fuels Tracks of the Year.
Finally, DIRTcar announced FloRacing.com will once again live stream nearly all Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds events in 2019.
The season kicks off in February at Volusia Speedway Park’s DIRTcar Nationals. For more information, visit DIRTcarNationals.com.
