TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY PORTACOOL™ U.S. NATIONAL DIRT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP REGISTRATION OPENS!

Ft. Worth TX (7/8/15) by DarinShort.com. Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) officials are pleased to announce the registration website is now open for the PORTACOOL™ U.S. National Dirt Track Championship at The Dirt Track at TMS.

The event will be held September 11-12, 2015 featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series, Limited Modifieds; and for the first time in TMS history, Factory Stocks, competing for over $70,000 in cash, plus prizes (details below).

Please click http://www.darinshort.com/dtc.html to get your race team registered for the event, view event brochure, purchase reserved paved pit space (while supplies last), make practice night payment and purchase advance 2-day pit passes (saves $10).

Since the Factory Stocks are new to TMS, full Factory Stock rules are posted at the upper left of each page of the event website and can be downloaded and they are print formatted as well.

Limited Modified and Factory Stock teams can save $40/each on their entry by getting registered between now and August 28th. After that date, ‘race week’ pricing will be in effect.

Car numbers are assigned on a first-come basis, so if there is a number you want, it is a good idea to register as soon as possible for the best chance of getting it.

TMS will add two provisional starters to the Limited Modified and Factory Stock championship feature – but those names will be drawn from pre-entered drivers only, so don't miss out on this second chance! To be considered an “Early Entered Driver” your entry must be received (online or postmarked) by August 28th, 2015. The Limited Modified and Factory Stock championship events pay $2,000 to win and $400 to start (24th)!

There are 120 paved, reserved parking spaces available for this event. Once those spaces have been purchased, all other teams will be parked by TMS officials upon their arrival at the speedway. Purchase pit parking while supplies last at the event website.

With the new addition of the Factory Stocks, reserved pit spaces are expected to sell out much quicker than normal. So if you need one, you should act now before supplies are exhausted.

Teams can pay using any major credit or debit card and all transactions are secured through PayPal, a company that has soared to over 165 million active accounts. You do not have to be a PayPal member to use this free service.

Printable event schedules, rules and more can also be found at the link listed above. If you would prefer to enter by mail, there is an event brochure at the above link that you can print, fill out and mail in your payment. For those not familiar with the TMS layout, there is also a link to a map of the property.

Also available for a limited time only, the beautiful and convenient Marriott Hotel & Golf Club at Champions Circle (across from entrance of TMS) has special discounted rates available to racers and fans for this event! The link is posted towards the upper left of each page of the event website.

Texas based PORTACOOL is thrilled to be involved with this event. Their company offers practical and affordable products that all racers and race fans can use to stay cool.

PORTACOOL is continuing their very 'cool' bonus to each of the three U.S. National Dirt Track Championship winners: the ASCS Sprint Car, Factory Stock and Limited Modified (all on Sept. 12th) A-feature winners will receive a Port-A-Cool Cyclone 3000™ – valued at $849 each!

MONDAY, JULY 13 USNDTC EVENT UPDATE:

Event launch for the PORTACOOL™ U.S. National Dirt Track Championship (USNDTC) at The Dirt Track at TMS took place five days ago, and driver registrations have been flowing in from across the region.

The event will be held September 11th and 12th, featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series, Limited Modifieds and Factory Stocks competing for over $70,000 in cash, plus prizes.

At the opening of business on Monday, July 13, less than 1/2 the paved reserved pit spaces now remain.

Normally we're not at this stage in registration until about one month after launch, but due to the change in the racing lineup for the weekend, it has really accelerated the process.

If you need reserved pit space for this event, I would highly suggest you get registered as soon as possible, as it's now becoming likely it will sell out much earlier than usual.

Click http://www.darinshort.com/dtc.html and in just a couple of minutes you can be all set up for race weekend. There you can purchase reserved paved pit space, driver registration, practice night payment or to take advantage of discounted pricing on 2-day pit passes.

Also remember that drivers in the Limited Modified and Factory Stock divisions entering by August 28th will be eligible for two provisional starting position drawings (in each division). But those driver names will only be pulled from the early-entered teams.

THANK YOU to all of the teams that are as excited as we are about this event by getting registered so early. It helps prepare the TMS staff for your arrival on race weekend.

THURSDAY, JULY 16 USNDTC EVENT UPDATE:

Another large wave of new entries to the PORTACOOL™ U.S. National Dirt Track Championship (USNDTC) at The Dirt Track at TMS have been received since Monday morning's event update.

As of Thursday morning, July 16, there are now less than 1/4 of the paved reserved pit spaces remaining. If you know you need one, this may be your last notification before they are sold out completely.

Click http://www.darinshort.com/dtc.html and in just a couple of minutes you can be all set up for race weekend.

There you can purchase reserved paved pit space, driver registration, practice night payment or to take advantage of discounted pricing on 2-day pit passes.

The event will be held September 11th and 12th, featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series, Limited Modifieds and Factory Stocks competing for over $70,000 in cash, plus prizes.

Also remember that drivers in the Limited Modified and Factory Stock divisions entering by August 28th will be eligible for two provisional starting position drawings (in each division). But those driver names will only be pulled from the early-entered teams.
