CONCORD, NC – December 4, 2018 – The Super DIRTcar Series is set to run 33 nights in 2019 with a dynamic schedule that includes returning to world-famous Eldora Speedway for a $10,000 to-win NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week Qualifier in conjunction with the NASCAR Gander Mountain Truck Series race. Also making a grand return to the schedule is the historic Can-Am Speedway, which is also hosting a $10,000 to-win NAPA Super DIRT Week Qualifier in a north country icebreaker. In all, the premier Big-Block Modified series of the northeast will compete from Florida to Quebec.
New Super DIRTcar Series and DIRTcar Northeast Director Dean Reynolds expressed his excitement for the 2019 tour: “We all worked very hard to put together a Super DIRTcar Series schedule that is exciting for fans and also a little more travel friendly for the teams. We are very excited about the response from the purse increase and we also have eight shows that are $10,000 to-win or more. Thank you to all the tracks for their support.”
The DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park kicks off the 2019 Big-Block Modified racing season with five nights of action February 12-18. Last year the ever-popular Watertown, NY native Tim McCreadie took home the Big Gator after earning two victories on the Florida clay.
