Corona, CA (January 13, 2010) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and DART Machinery have announced that there will be an extra provisional for the six nights of the 34th Annual DART Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL. The decision comes as DART Machinery steps up their support of the LOLMDS and of the DART Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park. This position will add an additional starting spot in each feature throughout the week, bringing the total number of starting spots to twenty-six.
In years past at the DART Winternationals have only started 25 cars, including the winner of the PRC Strawberry Dash. But, in 2010, the 25th starting position of each main event will be the DART Fast Pass, given each night to the fastest qualifier that did not earn a starting position in the feature. The DART Fast Pass provisional is a points-paying provisional, allowing the recipient to earn Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Championship Points during the final three nights of the DART Winternationals. Following the 25th starting position, will be the winner of the PRC Strawberry dash as the last-place starting-position in the feature.
During the first three nights of the 34th Annual DART Winternationals, the LOLMDS will race to 24 starting positions, followed by the DART Fast Pass recipient and the PRC Strawberry Dash winner. During the final three nights will race to 22 starting positions, followed by the two series provisionals, the DART Fast Pass recipient, and the PRC Strawberry Dash winner. "We have always valued our relationship with DART Machinery, and are excited to see them step-up in such a big way with the DART WInternationals and now with the DART Fast Pass," stated Series Director, Ritchie Lewis, "it just goes to show how much DART Machinery gives back to the sport, to those that support them week-in and week-out."
