Super DIRT Week Partners Continue to Help Fuel Racing’s Biggest Party
OSWEGO, NY (Sept. 20, 2024) – Super DIRT Week 52 is bringing the biggest party yet this year with help from new and several long-standing partners.
That help allows the event to continue its efforts of putting more money in each driver’s pocket. Super DIRT Week 52 boasts a more than $420,000 overall purse and provides more than $26,000 in specials awards for all four divisions – Super DIRTcar Series, DIRTcar 358 Modifieds Series, DIRTcar Sportsman Series and DIRTcar Pro Stock Series.
More than $30,000 was added to the overall purse this year, beefing up finishing payouts from top to bottom. That brings the championship check for the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 to $52,000-to-win (continuing to increase by $1,000 every year).
