Texas World Dirt Track Championship date changed for 2011

Dirt Track Weekend To Move A Week Later To March 4-5
Schedule Will Continue To Feature O’Reilly Auto Parts SUPR Late Model Series, Limited Modifieds, Modifieds

FORT WORTH, Texas (February 27, 2010) – The Texas World Dirt Track Championship, one of the most prestigious dirt track events in the country, will shift a week later from its traditional date in 2011 and be held March 4-5 at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

The Texas World Dirt Track Championship, which annually attracts a car count in excess of 300 competitors, will continue to feature three divisions – O’Reilly Auto Parts SUPR Late Model Series, Limited Modifieds and Modifieds – when it returns in 2011 on its new race weekend.

The date change will allow competitors another week of preparation for the premier event while also providing a seamless transition to the start of the dirt track season that kicks off the following weekend.

“Our event already attracts the best dirt track racers from across the country and the date change will allow for even more competitors to make the trip next year,” Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage said. “We did not want to go any later in March and conflict with the start of their season at their local tracks, but the additional week will provide racers with additional time to prepare for such a prestigious race weekend and be in race form for the opening of their weekly seasons.”

The race week will continue its tradition of an open practice for all classes leading into the race weekend and the session is scheduled for Thursday, March 3. On Friday, March 4, Modified and Limited Modified classes will run heats while the O’Reilly Auto Parts SUPR Late Models will conduct practice. O’Reilly Auto Parts SUPR Late Model heats, in addition to Limited Modified and Modified last-chance qualifiers, will be run Saturday, March 5, and the evening will culminate with championship races in all three classes.
