Lentini Auto Salvage of Ringoes, N.J., has signed on as the headline marketing partner for ‘Dirty Jersey 3’ at the pristine New Egypt facility on Thursday, June 11 (rain date: June 15). The Lentini Auto Salvage ‘Dirty Jersey 3’ event, a BD Motorsports Media LLC promotion, is topped by the Short Track Super Series Fueled By Hi-Tek big-block/small-block Modifieds, competing for Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. South Region points. The Modified event, 40 laps in distance, will offer a mammoth $10,000 to win.
The 360 Sprint Cars of the reborn United Racing Club (URC) will compete in the ‘Turnpike 25’ special offering $3,000 to the winner. Competitors from the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) have an invite to participate in the event, as well, and ESS will offer a co-sanction for the special event. Rules provisions will be in place for 358 Sprint Cars as they were a year ago.
Crate 602 Sportsman will be included in the ‘Dirty Jersey 3’ with a unique, fast-paced format. The division’s warm-ups will be timed. The top-18 quickest cars from hot laps will transfer into the main event. All remaining starting positions in the feature event will be determined by a B-Main, lined up by time.
