GM Performance Parts and Reliable Chevrolet to Offer Crate
Engine Incentive Program for 2010
WHEATLAND, MO (March 1st, 2010) - Officials with Lucas Oil Speedway in
Wheatland, Missouri and Representatives with GM Performance Parts and
Reliable Chevrolet are pleased to announce an incentive program for ULMA
Late Model Drivers running a GM 602 or 604 Crate Engine at Lucas Oil
Speedway in 2010. A $200 bonus will be paid to the highest finishing GM
Crate Motor with an extra $100 going to a random driver running the GM Crate
Motor at each show that the ULMA Late Model Class competes this season. By
combining the standard $700 to win plus the $200 bonus, a win in a Crate
Engine car would be worth $900 in 2010.
"With the high cost of the Late Model Engines these days, a GM Crate Engine
is a great option and I am excited to partner with GM Performance Parts and
Reliable Chevrolet to offer this incentive program in 2010" stated Lucas Oil
Speedway General Manager Dan Robinson. "If you are considering making the
switch to a GM Crate Engine, I urge you to give Jason Ulven at Reliable
Chevrolet a call as they are the leader in the Crate Engine Program in
Southwest Missouri." Reliable Chevrolet can be found on the web at
www.ReliableChevy.com.
The winner of the bonus money each night must pass a thorough Technical
Inspection and be deemed Legal by the Lucas Oil Speedway Technical Staff
prior to receiving the bonus. This money will be paid on top of any standard
Lucas Oil Speedway winnings that night. There are 15 scheduled races this
season in the ULMA Late Model class. For complete rules concerning the
engine options with ULMA, please visit www.LucasOilSpeedway.com or
www.ULMAracing.com.
In addition to the added bonus money from GM and Reliable Chevrolet, GM will
also provide Hats and T-Shirts to all of the bonus money winners throughout
the season. To be eligible for the program, all Crate Engine powered late
models must run the GM Performance Parts decals on each fender and on the
hood as outlined by GM. Lucas Oil Speedway will place GM/Reliable signage at
the facility as well as maintain a special section on
www.LucasOilSpeedway.com that will highlight the winners and maintain a
weekly list of the number of Crate cars that compete each week at the
"Diamond of Dirt Tracks."
