Tyler County To Sanction Modifieds With DIRTcar Racing/ UMP In 2019

(Middlebourne, WV) The Hometown Racing Association, promoters of America’s Baddest Bullring, the Tyler County Speedway is pleased to announce the open wheel modified division will run under the DIRTcar UMP Sanction in 2019. The Middlebourne, WV oval annually holds some of the divisions biggest events including the Modified Mega 100, the Let It Ride 55 and Dickson Classic while also playing homefield for the ultra-popular Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour.

With over 80 tracks around the country participating in DIRTcar events annually including national recognized speedways such as Eldora, Volusia, Lernerville, Federated I-55 Raceway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Fairbury American Legion Speedway among many more plus several of our regional speedways such as Atomic, Jackson and Moler makes partnering the ‘Bullring’ with the DIRTcar sanction an easy choice.

After adapting to the UMP tire rule in 2018 with great success, Tyler County Speedway feels the timing is right to join a national brand such as the DIRTcar UMP sanction. This allows our many talented racers an opportunity to participate and compete for their share of the $650,000 point fund distributed annually to regional and national level teams competing under the DIRTcar UMP umbrella. Many benefits aside from the lucrative point fund exist including a common set of rules and procedures. An additional benefit, albeit one that no driver ever wants but can definitely appreciate if needed is the Accidental Insurance $50,000 DIRTcar Member Benefit Supplemental Participant Accident Policy.
