The agreement allows racers of the AMRA to run within the tour for points and larger purses while also earning AMRA national points at AMRA sanctioned race tracks.

“For the Renegades of Dirt it allows racers the ease of competing without cost prohibitive changes, a crucial element of success” stated Watson. “Working together will benefit all involved as well as our prominent competitors and race tracks. Early in the off season we planned to make alterations that featured economic car changes but after a month of discussion with AMRA as well as several driver conversations we felt it in the divisions best interest to instead unify the division not try and change it” added Watson.
