Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour News
Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Secures Title Sponsor for Inaugural Season
Novi, Michigan (Friday, February 18th, 2011): Michigan Dirt Cup (MDC) is proud to announce that Allstar Performance of Watervliet, Michigan has come on board as the title sponsor for the inaugural 2011 racing season for their brand new Modified Tour. MDC’s new Tour will be known as the; “Michigan Dirt Cup Allstar Performance Modified Tour powered by Lane Automotive, Aeroquip, and ARP Fasteners”
“Having a Michigan based Company like Allstar Performance step up and be our title sponsor is what the Dirt Cup is all about.” Stated Bill Long, one of two founding partners of MDC. “Michigan racers, companies and communities working together to promote local racing!” Andy Stebbins, the second founding partner added.
Michigan drivers who race within the United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) Modifieds division throughout the Great Lakes State have something to look forward to in 2011 with the formation of the new sanctioning body, Michigan Dirt Cup (MDC). The 2011 campaign will be the inaugural year for MDC.
“Modified tours like the Dirt Cup exist in many regions of the country, so we believe the timing is right to bring one into the Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio region.” Explained John Berglund, Lane Automotive/Allstar Performance Advertising Manager/Race Track Promotions. “There are many high-caliber modified drivers in our area and this tour will give them a chance to showcase their talents, racing for increased purses in more prestigious events.”
The tour will travel throughout the state of Michigan participating in a seven race schedule. In each case when the Tour comes to each facility, those events will count for not only Michigan Dirt Cup points, but for each tracks respective weekly point’s standings in addition to UMP State and National Points!
The MDC Allstar Performance Modified Tour powered by Lane Automotive, Aeroquip, and ARP Fasteners will visit established Michigan dirt facilities beginning with I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan (Saturday April 30th). From there, the Tour travels to Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Michigan (Saturday, June 11th), Winston Motor Speedway in Rothbury, Michigan (Friday, June 17th), Owendale Speedway in Owendale, Michigan (Saturday, July 2nd), Cherry Speedway in Fife Lake, Michigan (Friday, July 22nd), Mt. Pleasant Speedway in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan (Sunday, August 21st), and the season finale will be at Hartford Motor Speedway in Hartford, Michigan (Saturday, October 1st).
“Bill and Andy came up with a schedule that is both track and driver friendly. The tracks will be able to have these special events without breaking the bank and the payback to the drivers is decent, making this a win-win situation for everyone involved.” Added Berglund. “Rather than supporting specific drivers, we prefer to put together track marketing programs where larger groups of drivers and teams can reap some of the benefits.”
“The Dirt Cup Tour is the perfect venue to make this type of program happen.” He continued. “In addition to being the title sponsor, we are also posting contingency at every series event as well as awards at the series banquet.” Berglund ended. The first six MDC events will pay an impressive $1,500 to win and $200 just to start, while the season finale at Hartford will pay a whopping $5,000 to win!
The new tour will offer a wide array of Contingency Packages! At each Tour event, one driver from the feature starting lineup will be awarded a special contingency package with a youngster chosen from the crowd to come down on the track and draw a number from a hat. The driver who is starting the feature in the spot chosen by the fan will be awarded a product certificate package with a minimum value of $500, providing the correct decals are displayed.
These contingency certificates will be redeemable through Lane Automotive in Watervliet, Michigan. Participants in this program include Allstar Performance, Lane Automotive, ARP Fasteners, Aeroquip, and Landrum Springs. Additional manufacturer support could potentially increase the value of this package by several hundred dollars.

About ARP
At ARP Automotive Racing Products, they say that to be successful you must identify a need and satisfy it. Back in 1968 racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel saw that many of his friends’ broken engines were caused by fastener failure. At the time, there were no commercially available studs and bolts up to the challenge. So Holzapfel called upon his many years of fastener making experience for a leading aerospace subcontractor and founded ARP® (Automotive Racing Products).
ARP has grown from what was literally a backyard garage workshop into a highly diversified manufacturer with five operational entities in Southern California and a combined area in excess of 200,000 square feet. These include forging, machining, finishing and packaging/warehousing facilities in Santa Paula and Ventura, California.
Today, ARP’s product line contains thousands of part numbers, and has expanded to include virtually every fastener found in an engine and driveline. These range from quality high performance OEM replacement parts to exotic specialty hardware for Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR and NHRA drag racing and marine applications.

Gator Championship Results at Volusia
DILLON DELIVERS: Ty Dillon motors to victory in ‘The Gator Championship’ at Volusia
BARBERVILLE, Fla. - Feb. 14, 2011 - Ty Dillon had seen his brother win in the 40th DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio at Volusia Speedway Park. He had seen his Richard Childress Racing teammate Clint Bowyer win, too. But on Monday night, they were chasing him to the checkered flag in The Gator Championship for DIRTcar UMP Modifieds.
Dillon, 18, jumped out to an early lead in the 30-lap showcase event and then fought off Ryan Gustin through lapped traffic before finally holding back Bowyer to win for the first time in his career at Volusia Speedway Park.
"This is really cool," said Dillon, one of Richard Childress' grandsons from Welcome, N.C. "I've been coming down here for a long time and I've watched my brother win a lot of races here as well as Clint Bowyer. To finally get my first win here, and have it on The Gator Championship night with an awesome trophy, just to be with these guys and have UNOH on the car, these students work so hard it's just cool to see."
Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, gave Dillon everything he could handle. Dillon raced high and low to fight off Gustin for the first 25 laps before Dillon started to pull away. Dillon wound up leading all 30 laps in the $5,000-to-win event.
"It was real slick and the lapped traffic was really tough," Dillon said. "It was almost déjà vu to me. Last year I was leading with two to go and got passed in lapped traffic. I knew this year I wasn't going to let that happen again. Gustin rolled me on the outside, once I saw that I tried to take his line. I blocked that off and was still able to pass come cars."
Bowyer, of Emporia, Kan., and a NASCAR Chase to the Cup contender last season, was second with Gustin finishing third. Bowyer, a winner three times earlier in the DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH worked under Gustin in lapped traffic with two circuits remaining to get the position. A couple of drivers from Batesville, Ark., completed the top five with Peyton Taylor fourth and defending Gator Championship winner Jared Landers in fifth.
Tuesday night competition will wrap up the DIRTcar UMP Modified portion of the 40th DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH as the DIRTcar Late Models, World of Outlaws Late Model Series and the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds round out the 12 day event.

Weisner and Strait Keep Impressing at Volusia
Muskegon's Kody Wesiner and Andy Strait of Traverse City continue to show no fear competing at the Dirt Nationals at Volusia Speedway. Another night of making the "A" main against some of the top Modified and NASCAR drivers in the United States has turned a few heads.
Bowyer powers to third DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH victory, takes aim at Monday’s ‘The Gator Championship’
BARBERVILLE, Fla. - Feb. 13, 2011 - Clint Bowyer continued dominating the 40th DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio on Sunday night at Volusia Speedway Park by powering past Kenny Wallace early and hanging on to win the final qualifying feature for Monday's DIRTcar UMP Modified The Gator Championship.
Richard Childress Racing's Ty Dillon surged to second with Jared Landers, the two-time and defending winner of The Gator Championship, in third.
The victory was Bowyer's third in a row at Volusia Speedway Park.
"The track was perfect tonight," said Bowyer, who will attempt to become the first driver in history to win both The Gator Championship and Daytona 500 in the span of week. "It was fun to slip and slide around out there!"
Bowyer battled Wallace throughout the first five laps before stretching his lead to a full straightaway as Dillon and Landers waged a fierce battle for second behind him.
"Jared has really helped us out a lot," explained Bowyer, one of 12 drivers to compete in last year's NASCAR Chase to the Cup. "This is his race car, I'm just happy and excited to be here racing in front of everyone."
Bowyer was strong as usual throughout the entire program. He was quickest of his qualifying group, he won the third heat race, and finally he claimed the checkered flag in the A-Main.
Over the final two nights of DIRTcar UMP Modified competition that winds up Tuesday at Volusia, Bowyer will have a chance to equal Landers' record of winning not only the 'The Gator Championship' but also five DIRTcar UMP Modified programs at the DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH.
