Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship bringing “home track” focus to new season
WEEDSPORT, NY – April 8, 2022 – The Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship will put the focus back on weekly racing to determine its five division champions this year.
Series events – such as the Super DIRTcar Series and DIRTcar Northeast Series races – will no longer count toward the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly points. Only weekly races – and some special events – at DIRTcar sanctioned tracks for the Big Block Modifieds, 358 Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds, Pro Stocks and 4-Cylinders will tally points toward the championships.
“We really wanted to bring back a home track focus to the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship, making sure the title represents the drivers who dedicate their time to their local tracks,” said DIRTcar Northeast Series Director Dean Reynolds. “This structure gives an exciting new focus to the championship and makes every weekly show even more important for the drivers and fans now.”
Twenty tracks, spanning across New York, Vermont and Canada, and featuring hundreds of drivers across the five divisions, will be a part of the championship this season.
Last year, more than $47,000 in total between the five divisions last year with Matt Sheppard earning $5,000 for the Big Block title, Mat Williamson earning $3,000 for the Small Block title, Andrew Buff and Chad Jeseo each earning $1,000 for the Sportsman title and Pro Stock title, respectively, and Dante Mancuso earning $500 for the 4-Cylinder title.
