WHEATLAND, Missouri (January 27, 2020) - Wrisco Industries Inc., a long-time partner with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, has agreed to a new multi-year deal as an Official Partner of the series. As part of the new multi-year agreement, Wrisco Industries Inc.will also be a partner of Lucas Oil Speedway and the Lucas Oil MLRA Series, along with their continued title sponsorship of the Wrisco Industries Inc. Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park, Feb. 3-8 in Tampa, Florida.
With their title sponsorship of the Winternationals, Wrisco Industries Inc. will give racers an additional starting spot in the feature event, each night at East Bay Raceway Park, to the fastest qualifying driver that doesn't transfer into the main event through a Heat Race or B-Main. That spot will be titled the 'Wrisco Fast Time Provisional' and will start 25th in each feature event. In addition, Wrisco Industries Inc. will also sponsor the GA-FL Speedweeks Points Fund, giving cash awards to the top eight (8) drivers in points that maintain perfect attendance through all nine (9) events, starting at Golden Isles Speedway Jan. 31 and crowning the Wrisco Industries Inc. GA-FL Speedweeks Champion after the event at All-Tech Raceway Feb. 9.
"We are excited and proud to continue our partnership with Lucas Oil and expand our partnership to include the MLRA Series, Lucas Oil Speedway and some TV elements on MAVTV. Lucas Oil Motorsports continues to grow grass roots motorsports and we are honored to be a part of that", stated Jim Monastra, President of Wrisco Industries Inc.
Wrisco Industries Inc. will also sponsor the cutaway car segment during the MAVTV Broadcasts at East Bay Raceway Park. This technical segment has become a fan favorite during the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series TV broadcasts and Wrisco is pleased to be a part of that program during the Wrisco Industries Inc. Winternationals.
Wrisco Industries Inc. has expanded their partnership to include the Lucas Oil MLRA Series this year by sponsoring the Wrisco Most Feature Wins Category on that series, along with sponsoring the category on the National Tour as well.
