Newly Formed $20,000 to-win Mini-Series to Kick Off in Kentucky and Missouri
Pittsburgh, PA (January 22) Officials are excited to introduce a new super dirt late model mini-series titled the National Dirt Racing League. The NDRL will feature the best of the best in the world of dirt late model racing and offer a base purse of over $80,000. The 2013 NDRL schedule will be solidified with events paying $20,000 to the winner and $1,500 to start.
'We wanted to do something different and exciting for both the drivers and the fans,' said NDRL Owner John Kennedy. 'Obviously the purse and payout that we have established will entice and excite the drivers and the plans we have for the fans will undoubtedly grab their attention as well. The objective with the NDRL is to provide top of the line racing action to everyone in attendance and offer lucrative payouts to the drivers as a reward for their dedication to the sport. All of our events will be one day shows and feature some of the biggest names in dirt late model racing.'
'The goal is to have four to six events that will attract some of the best competitors in the sport,' NDRL President Jason Shank stated. 'Race fans want to see the best talent in one place, and that is what we're aiming at. To do that, we will not schedule against either national series or against events considered 'Crown Jewels'. We are also attempting to schedule events that will be logistically convenient for the nation's top drivers to attend.'
The Inaugural season for the NDRL mini-series will kick off with a $20,000 to-win doubleheader at Paducah (KY) International Raceway on Friday, March 29 and Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 Pevely (MO) on Saturday, March 30. The 'Let's Get Dirty 75 at Paducah' and the 'Let's Get Dirty 75 at I-55' will both be $20,000 to-win and $1,500 to-start events.
'We're extremely pleased to have Paducah and Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 Pevely host our inaugural events,' Kennedy exclaimed. 'It's going to be a huge weekend for the NDRL drivers and fans. We have plans to make our shows more than just races; we want them to be events. Soon we will be announcing a partnership with a popular country-western artist that will perform at our events as well. Fans will really enjoy what we have planned.'
'Drivers will also be happy with what we have planned,' Shank chimed. 'In addition to our lucrative payout, we will also offer a point fund for the drivers finishing within the top ten in points. The point fund will be over $57,000 including $20,000 to the champion. Drivers finishing in the top ten in points will also have to have 100% attendance to qualify for point fund monies.' Shank continued, 'We'll also have, what we think is a driver and fan friendly format. For the drivers we will split the field in two groups for qualifying and for the fans we will redraw, at minimum, the heat race winners for the feature events.'
More details on the series, rules, and format can be obtained by emailing John Kennedy at jkennedy@theNDRL.com or Jason Shank at jshank@theNDRL.com as well as calling the series office at (412) 824-9126 or at

National Dirt Racing League Adds 'Pittsburgher' to 2013 Mini-Series
Pittsburgh, PA (January 22) The National Dirt Racing League has added the 'Pittsburgher' to their 2013 mini-series schedule. The 25th Annual Silver Anniversary 'Pittsburgher' will be held on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12 at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in Imperial, PA, moving from its traditional September weekend.
'We are ecstatic to be working with Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway on this years 'Pittsburgher', NDRL President Jason Shank said. 'The 'Pittsburgher' is a race I grew up with and the fact that we will be presenting the 25th Annual Silver Anniversary 'Pittsburgher' is an honor for the NDRL. Our original plan was to feature our standard $20,000 to-win purse but with it being the 25th Anniversary, we decided to bump the winners share of the purse up to $25,000 to commemorate the unique milestone.' Shank continued, 'NDRL's decision to move the event to the October 11th and 12th weekend was purely a business decision. We felt with that weekend being one of the very few weekends that neither national touring series is in action, it would entice national talent to compete for over $100,000 in total purse money.
'It has always been a goal of Miley Motor Sports to elevate the 'Pittsburgher' back to a National event,' PPMS owner Matt Miley claimed. 'After 43 years in this business, we have realized it often takes patience, timing, and the right people to be involved. When National Dirt Racing League officials approached Miley Motor Sports about making the 'Pittsburgher' a national event again, we were all ears. We have watched what Kennedy Motorsports has done over the past racing season and felt they were a great fit to return the 'Pittsburgher' to a major super late model event. One week later we had a deal.'
The 25th edition of the 'Pittsburgher' will return to its original 100 lap format and will be preceded by the $10,000 to-win, 'Let's Get Dirty 50' on Friday, October 11 that will be co-sanctioned with the Kennedy Motorsports United Late Model Series (ULMS). The NDRL sanctioned $25,000 to-win 'Pittsburgher 100' will be run on Saturday, October 12. Both events will also feature the United Emod Series (UEMS) as an undercard while the stars of the UEMS battle for $1,500 to-win on Friday and $3,000 to-win on Saturday.
'We are very excited to be part of the 'new' Pittsburgher weekend,' ULMS Series Director Chris Zuver said. 'We've co-sanctioned the event for the last few years and now to be part of night one with the NDRL and this historical weekend is a true honor. It is mega event for dirt late model racing and dirt emod racing in western Pennsylvania and to help restore the Pittsburgher back to its prominence of a national event is very humbling.'
More details regarding the 25th Annual Silver Anniversary 'Pittsburgher 100' weekend will be announced soon.
Details on rules and format can be obtained by emailing John Kennedy at jkennedy@theNDRL.com or Jason Shank at jshank@theNDRL.com as well as calling the series office at (412) 824-9126 or at
