Super DIRT Week has seen tremendous support over the years, but its 10th year in Oswego might see the biggest yet.
Multiple new partners have joined a long list of returning partners for Super DIRT Week 54 presented by StubHub at Oswego Speedway, continuing the growth of “Racing’s Biggest Party.”
More than $420,000 is available in the overall purse fund, and more than $26,000 is available in special awards across the four competing divisions – Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modified Series, DIRTcar Sportsman Series, and DIRTcar Pro Stock Series.
The check for the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 will bear the largest number in event history, paying $54,000 to this year’s champion. For the other divisions, the DIRTcar 358 Modified Salute to the Troops 150 presented by Air National Guard will pay $20,000 to win, the DIRTcar Sportsman Great Lakes 75 will pay $5,000 to win, and the DIRTcar Pro Stock I Love NY 50 will pay $3,000 to win.
Here are the partners that help make Super DIRT Week possible:
StubHub has joined as the new presenting sponsor of Super DIRT Week and as the Official Open Distribution Partner for World Racing Group. In addition to getting tickets through Super DIRT Week, fans will have the option to also purchase tickets through StubHub with special offers included.
Air National Guard is another exciting new addition to Super DIRT Week’s lineup of partners. Behind every driver is a crew that has spent countless hours preparing, inspecting, fueling and fine-tuning a machine built to perform under pressure. In the Air National Guard, the mission starts the same way. The Air National Guard will be the presenting sponsor of the DIRTcar 358 Modified Salute to the Troops 150, have a display in the midway throughout Super DIRT Week, and support the event’s pre-race activities, including a flyover.
Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux returns for its 10th consecutive season as the sponsor of the Super DIRTcar Series’ prestigious 200-lap Billy Whittaker Cars 200 (Saturday, Oct. 10). They are also sponsoring the Charity Golf Tournament, giving someone money toward purchasing a car if they get a hole in one.
Hoosier Racing Tire – which sponsors DIRTcar’s Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship – Racing Electronics (RE) and VP Racing Fuels have become synonymous with Super DIRT Week and DIRTcar Racing throughout the Northeast. Hoosier and VP will continue to supply tires and racing fuel, respectively, for competitors throughout the week, and RE will again be the prime source of communication for DIRTcar officials by providing high-quality headsets and radios.
Milton Hershey School and Toyota also return as returning key partners. The Milton Hershey School was founded in 1909 and is a top-tier private school for qualifying students in pre-K through 12th grade, offering life-changing opportunities and experiences. Toyota is the Official Vehicle of the Super DIRTcar Series and paces the field at every Series event with the Toyota Tundra pace truck.
This year’s Super DIRT Week Charity Golf Tournament (Monday, Oct. 5), which is helping raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, is again supported by John and Laura Wight, Gypsum Express, and Weedsport Productions.
