CARTERSVILLE, GA - Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL
has joined the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series for dirt late models
powered by economical GM Performance factory-built and sealed engines.
Drivers in the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series at Talladega Short Track
will be eligible to compete for a Weekly, Regional, and National point fund
in 2006.
By joining the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series, Talladega
Short Track continues its relationship with the sanctioning body from the
2005 season, when they ran a National Touring event with the series when it
was known as Crate Racin' USA, which was founded by Mike Vaughn in February
of 2005.
"Everybody at Talladega Short Track is looking forward to
working with Mike Vaughn, his staff, and StormPay.com to bring a high
quality of racing at an affordable price to TST in the 2006 racing season,"
Talladega Short Track owners Lynn Phillips and Alfred Gurly said. "We think
that the new StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series will bring to our drivers and
fans a high quality of competition along with a good point fund for our
drivers to have a chance to share in."
The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series will begin in April and
run through October. Each track in the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series
will be eligible to put on 24 weekly events, with competitors taking their
best 16 finishes in the points chase.
The dirt late models in the StormPay.com Weekly Racing
Series, and the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series 24-race National Touring
Division, will be powered by one of two GM Performance factory-built and
sealed engines right out of the crate. The $2,800 "602" is a steel-head
engine that receives a 150 pound weight break over the $4,800 "604"
aluminum-head engine.
In addition to joining the StormPay.com Weekly Racing
Series, Talladega Short Track will also host the first points race of the
2006 National Touring Championship season with the 16th Annual Ice Bowl on
January 7-8. The main event for the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series
will be the $2,500-to-win NeSmith Chevrolet 40.
"We're elated to have Talladega Short Track as a part of the
StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series," StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series
Director Mike Vaughn said. "We're also proud that Talladega Short Track has
chosen the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model National Series to be a part of the
Ice Bowl, which is one of the most recognized annual dirt late model races
in the country."
