CEDAR FALLS, IA (March 8, 2010) - The JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour announced today that Specialty Technologies is now a proud member of the HDT team in 2010. Thanks to this new partnership, the Specialty Technologies Heat Race Challenge offers drivers a chance at an extra $100. The JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds will launch its first ever campaign across the state of Iowa in 2010. Ten races at nine different tracks comprise the inaugural season's tour schedule. The Specialty Technologies Heat Race Challenge will offer an extra $100 at each of the first nine JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour events in 2010. If a registered HDT driver can win their heat race and the A-Main on the same night, they will earn the $100 bonus. If the prize goes unclaimed that night, it will then go into the season end point fund. "A series like this has been needed for a long time," commented Rick Dripps, founder and President of Specialty Technologies, LLC. Dripps is a long time fan, car owner, and supporter of modified racing. "We wanted to help the series and local racers make it a success. Plus this should add a little extra excitement for the fans too." "With the first nine events featuring a draw/redraw format, we thought that this would be an exciting addition to the first nine shows," added Bucky Doren, the tour coordinator and spokesman. The Hawkeye Dirt Tour Championship at 34 Raceway (West Burlington, IA), the final event of the 2010 season, will feature a time trial format. Specialty Technologies will award the fastest qualifier $100 for their efforts.
