Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to offer $30,000 points fund for 30th Annual Winternationals
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in association with East Bay Raceway Park is set to offer drivers who compete February 6-11th a points fund that will pay out over $30,000 in cash and product to the top 25 drivers based on points awarded for each nights events of the 30th Annual East Bay Winternationals.
The 30th Annual Winternationals DART Points Fund will reward drivers who choose to race during the week long competition. All six nights of racing will count towards the Winternationals DART Points Fund that will be paid out at the track after the final night on Saturday and a “Winternationals” champion will be crowned.
The 30th Annual Winternationals DART Points Fund is a combined effort of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and numerous manufactures and companies that support dirt late model racing. This points fund was established to reward drivers who attempt to compete each night of the Winternationals. “With so many race teams that attend the Winternationals we wanted to try and give some additional awards other than the purse monies each night”, stated Spencer Wilson, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Director.
In conjunction with the Winternationals DART Points Fund, one manufacture that will be offering racers an added incentive will be AFCO and the new M2 Shocks. AFCO has announced their M2 Challenges for 2006 and the first M2 Challenge will take place at East Bay Raceway Park on Saturday February 11th. AFCO is offering a $2500 cash bonus on top of the $12,000 to win prize money to any driver who can win the feature event on Saturday using the new M2 shocks and AFCO springs. In addition AFCO will also pay a $2500 bonus to the distributor who sold the winning M2 Shocks to that particular driver. AFCO representatives will be on hand all six nights of the Winternationals to assist drivers using the new M2 Shocks.
A special Engine builders Challenge points system will also take place all week during the Winternationals that includes eight engine builders from the motorsports industry. The engine builder that earns the most points all week will be rewarded and named the top engine builder of the 30th Annual Winternationals. The eight engine builders who are participating in the challenge include: Jay Dickens, Custom Race Engines, Cornett Racing Engines, Pro Power Engines, Larry Wallace Engines, Malcuit Race Engines, SMS Race Engines and Carl Grover Motorsports.
Title sponsor of the 30th Annual Winternationals Points Fund is Dart Machinery of Troy, Michigan. Dart was founded in 1981 in a two-car garage in Oak Park, MI. In the years that have passed since Richard Maskin started his business with a desk and telephone, Dart has become a respected manufacturer of championship-winning cylinder heads, intake manifolds and engine blocks. The company's first products were Hemi cylinder heads that dominated the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories. These innovative heads ultimately provided the power that broke drag racing's 300 mph barrier and produced the first four-second Funny Car elapsed time. Maskin's Pro Stock roots were evident in the Race Series heads for big-block Chevrolet V8s that soon followed in recent years. Dart's spread-port Big Chief heads have set the standard in classes ranging from Pro Street to Pro Mod.
Dart has also expanded its product line to include aluminum and cast-iron engine blocks that are engineered to meet the specialized needs of racers. Dart is an NHRA and IHRA major sponsor for blocks, cylinder heads and intake manifolds. Maskin keeps current with racing technology through his engine R&D program that has won three NHRA Pro Stock championships and dozens of national events.
Dart Machinery's Technology Center in Troy, MI now houses the company's administrative offices, the R&D headquarters, and inspection, machining and warehouse operations. A separate production facility in nearby Melvindale, MI houses the thundering CNC machining centers that produces heads and blocks from raw castings. Twenty five years ago, it all began with a desk, a telephone and a dream. Today Dart is the acknowledged leader in aftermarket components for racing engines.

Manufactures and companies sponsoring the Winternationals DART Points Fund include: DART Heads, DART Blocks, AFCO, Hyperco, Mason Racin, Oval Craft, Hawk Brake, Quarter Master, Jesel, PBM Performance Products, Sunoco Race Fuels, Penske Shocks, ATL Fuel Cells, Port City Racing / Integra Shocks, COMP Cams, Ohlins, Allstar Performance, MasterSbilt Race Cars, Rocket Chassis, Rayburn Race Cars, Warrior Race Cars, Lazer Chassis and Petroff Towing.
