SAN ANTONIO, TX (June 12, 2009) VP Racing Fuels, the Official Racing Fuel of DIRTcar Racing, will be among the major backers of the UMP DIRTcar Racing Summer Nationals. The grueling month-long Super Late Model tour of the Midwest kicked off last night at Brownstown Speedway, the first of 27 tracks to be visited over a 31-day period in a true test of man and machine.
VP will have a fuel truck at almost every event throughout the aptly-named ‘Hell Tour’ series to service the racers and will offer a total of $150 in product certificates to three A-Main starters each night. VP representatives will pour VP113, Late Model Plus, M1 methanol and other VP products at each track from the time the pit gates officially open until at least the conclusion of Super Late Model heat races. They will also be available to answer fuel-related tech questions.
In addition, VP has posted product certificates in the sum of $75 for the fifth-place finisher, $50 for the 10th-place finisher and $25 for the 15th-place finisher in each Summer Nationals A-Main. Teams must use VP fuel and display a VP decal to be eligible for the certificates, which can be redeemed each night at the track or at VP Regional Distribution Centers in Newark, Del.; Barnett, Ga.; Terre Haute, Ind.; and San Antonio, Texas.
Contingency awards totaling nearly $20,000 have been posted by more than a half-dozen other companies also listed as supporters of the series. “We're appreciative of all the companies that are part of the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals,” said UMP DIRTcar Racing director Sam Driggers. “It's the backing of these sponsors that makes the Summer Nationals more attractive to the racers and allows us to continue building the ‘Hell Tour' into one of the country's most unique and exciting Super Late Model series.”
