DIRT: 50 Qualifiers Lead Teams To Syracuse Sunoco/Aplus 358-Mod Championship

By Tom Skibinski // DIRT MotorSports PR

WEEDSPORT, NY – The annual qualifying trail leading up to the Sunoco/Aplus 358-Modified Championship on Oct. 8 of Super DIRT Week XXXIV in Syracuse, N.Y. has been set with 19 tracks scheduled to stage 50 events in 2005.

The current format guarantees that automatic starting berths for Syracuse will be earned by drivers at DIRT member tracks along with DIRT associate Devil's Bowl Speedway. The Super DIRT Week small-block special continues to be a member-only "invitational" event and every driver signed up for competition must hold a valid DIRT MotorSports™ License to participate.

All sanctioned tracks at which DIRT MotorSports™ recognizes a 358-Modified points champion is afforded no less than (2) qualifying events, with at least (1) position awarded in a non-Super DIRT Series event. Every 358-Modified Super DIRT Series race held prior to Super DIRT Week is regarded as a qualifier.

Guaranteed starters will be added from Super DIRT Week qualifiers at Can-Am Motorsports Park (Oct. 5), Brewerton Speedway (Oct. 6) and Rolling Wheels Raceway (Oct. 7) with the top-ranked drivers in overall Hoosier Tire-Sunoco Race Fuels 358-Modified Mr. DIRT point standings and any provisionals filling out the field.

The summer-long qualifying trail culminates with national coverage of the 150-lap Sunoco/Aplus 358-Modified Championship on Saturday, October 8 during Super DIRT Week '05.

The DIRT MotorSports™ Advance Auto Parts Modified Series is brought to fans across the Northeast by several sponsors and partners, including series sponsors Dynomax Performance Exhaust, Hoosier Racing Tire, Sunoco Race Fuels and DART Machinery. Promotional Partners include AMB i.t., RACEceiver and Zippo Lighters and the contingency sponsors are Bicknell Racing Products, Bilstein Shocks, MSD Ignitions and Wrisco Industries.
