Big Dog back as title sponsor of Dakota Classic Tour
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (March 21) – The Big Dog Chassis flag flies over the
Dakota Classic Modified Tour for a third consecutive season in 2009.
The North Platte, Neb., chassis manufacturer and high performance parts
retailer will again furnish part of a $2,000 fund to be paid to drivers
finishing in top 10 point standings in the popular tour for IMCA Modifieds,
which runs from July 12-17 at tracks in North Dakota and Saskatchewan.
Opening night for the 20th annual tour is July 12 at Nodak Speedway.
Estevan Motor Speedway hosts July 13 and 14 races before events July
15 at Williston Basin Speedway, July 16 at Southwest Speedway in Dickinson
and July 17 at Dacotah Speedway in Mandan.
All six features pay $1,200 to win and a minimum of $200 to start.
National, home region and Smiley’s Racing Products state points will also be
awarded. Drivers will be required to display two Big Dog Chassis decals on
their race car to be eligible for any shares of the point fund or
contingency awards.

Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot.

"The Dakota Classic Tour has become one of the marquee events that Modified
drivers put on their schedules at the beginning of the season, and the
consistent support Big Dog has shown the tour during that growth is greatly
appreciated,” said IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder. “This year’s races
promise to be the best yet. For drivers who have never raced in North Dakota
and Canada, I highly recommend taking a vacation this summer and checking
out the Big Dog Dakota Classic Tour."
