While Super DIRT Week enters a new era in year 51, the support from its partners continues to grow.
The event boasts a more than $400,000 overall purse and provides more than $18,000 in special awards across all four divisions (Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman and DIRTcar Pro Stocks).
The support of several long-standing partners has been key to providing those prizes for drivers and making sure fans get to fully experience Racing’s Biggest Party.
Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux returns for its seventh consecutive season as the sponsor of the Super DIRTcar Series’ prestigious 200-lap Billy Whittaker Cars 200 (Sunday, Oct. 8), now paying $51,000 to win.
To make sure drivers and fans see the best on-track action, CASE Construction Equipment provided several machines to help turn the “Steel Palace” into the “Clay Palace.” 2023 marks the company’s second consecutive year as an event partner and as the official construction equipment company for the Super DIRTcar Series.
