(Hesston, PA) It has been proven time and time again that the “Dirt Doctor†DR Eriksen rewards the race teams when they support Hesston Speedway. Throughout the last 2 seasons, countless payoff increases have been returned to the race teams after successful events at Hesston. With the impending high car count for Speedmonser/ULMS Super Late Models for “The Ultimate†on October 11-12-13 according to pre-entries, the “Dirt Doctor†has announced his next bonus program to reward drivers for attendance.
“The Ultimate†already features a total payoff for all divisions of over $91,000. Additional payoff will be added to the Super Late Models to reward high car count by adding feature starting positions. If the Super Late Model car count hits 70 or more at the “Moonsault Scramble†on Friday, October 12 or “The Ultimate†on Saturday, October 13, the starting grid for the Super Late Model feature will be increased to at least 28 cars. If the car count hits 75, 30 cars will star the feature that night!
