CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – The 2017 edition of Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week presented by Octane Race Products, one of Ohio’s most anticipated super late model events of the upcoming season, took a major step forward during the past 72 hours by gaining contingency support from Kryptonite Race Cars and Dickson Racing Shocks. The added contingency benefits will help add depth to a growing support list for Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week including a $12,000 point fund, $3,000 to the champion on behalf of DirtonDirt.com.
Kryptonite Race Cars, now the official dirt late model chassis of Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week presented by Octane Race Products, will support the multi-race campaign across much of Ohio by awarding the champion with a $2,000 certificate toward a brand new Kryptonite Race Car. Headquartered in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Kryptonite strives to excel on and off the racing surface; providing well-built race cars, as well as the knowledge and know-how to stay at the front of the pack.
Williamstown, West Virginia’s Dickson Racing Shocks, a 14-year staple in the dirt late model community, will award the 2017 Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week champion a certificate worth $1000 which can be used toward a six-pack of JRi Shocks. In addition, all B-main winners during the course of the mini-series will receive certificates worth $100 which can be used toward labor costs for shock rebuilds or repairs.
“We are excited about the continued growth and support for Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week. We are fortunate enough to build relationships with companies like Kryptonite Race Cars and Dickson Racing Shocks. Their help and support fuel success,” said Brad McCown, Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week promoter. “They each stepped forward and brought something to the table that our racers can benefit from. I’m confident that support will only continue to grow during the next few months.”
Currently, five events at five different facilities are set in stone for the 2017 edition of Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week presented by Octane Race Products, with three more dates expected to fill during the next few weeks. Events on the schedule include Hilltop Speedway (Millersburg, Ohio) on Thursday, July 20; Wayne County Speedway on Saturday, July 22; Moler Speedway on Thursday, July 27; Brushcreek Motorsports Complex on Friday, July 28; and Atomic Speedway on Saturday, July 29.
