WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – Aug. 26, 2014 – The 43rd running of NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week is only 43 days away, and with each passing day Super DIRTcar Series and DIRTcar Racing competitors inch closer to making history in the sport’s biggest week of action, Oct. 8-12 on the “Moody Mile” at the New York State Fairgrounds.
Billy Dunn earned the biggest victory of his career during “Racing’s Biggest Party” when he won last year’s Syracuse 200 for the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds. Can he become the seventh driver in history to take the $50,000 checkered flag in back-to-back years? Brett Hearn won last year’s DIRTcar 358-Modified Salute to the Troops 150, and he’ll no doubt be looking to add to his storied win total, the biggest in DIRTcar Modified racing through the years.
Likewise for Brad Rouse in the DIRTcar Sportsman and Rob Yetman in the DIRTcar Pro Stocks. Can they duplicate their winning performances from a year ago?
Plus, who will become the first USAC Silver Cup driver to win on the Mile since J.J. Yeley took the checkers in 2003, joining a win list that includes names like Andretti and Unser?
“The excitement for NAPA Super DIRT Week is at an all-time high,” said DIRTcar’s Jeff Hachmann. “We might have a record number of campers this year to join the thousands of fans who will pour into the New York State Fairgrounds for the week to see the greatest modified racers on dirt battle the legendary Moody Mile and each other. There will be so much to do and see, but at the end of the day we know the fans are going to get together each night and celebrate.”
