ERIE, MI (February 26, 2018) – Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP will once again make it easy for SOD competitors to display its many sponsor partners’ logos.

Following last year’s success, SOD will once again provide competitors with sponsor panels that will allow them to install as few as 7 decals instead of 60+!  There will be a panel for primary sponsors and one for secondary sponsors.  The SOD decals will be separate as well as an ARP nose wing decal for this each race date’s Lucky Dog award eligibility.  A few decals for each sponsor partner will still be available on a limited basis; decals for sponsor partners that join us after panel production will need to be supplied individually also.

The primary sponsor panel will be approximately 14” wide by 18” high.  The secondary sponsor   panel will be approximately 36” wide by 5” high.

The panels will be available with either a black or white background.  Logos will be arranged to make it easy to cut the panels into sections if needed.  The panels are not yet available since some new sponsorships have not been finalized.

While the COMP Performance Group has grown to multiple companies and hundreds of employees, COMP Cams still retains the competitive spirit and desire to be the very best that has positioned it as the absolute leader in valve train components. COMP Cams works with the best teams in sprint car racing and fits perfectly as a partner with SOD.

Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP appreciates its long partnership with COMP Cams and works tirelessly to keep the COMP Cams name out front. For more information about COMP Cams, go to www.compcams.com.

ERIE, MI (February 9, 2018) – Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP Dirt will make a much-anticipated return to Berlin Raceway on Saturday, September 29th.

Last year, Berlin Raceway hosted the SOD season finale, the COMP Cams Great Lakes Sprint Car Classic.  Republic, Ohio’s Cap Henry drove his Lane Racing #4 to the win over Ryan Ruhl and Jordan Ryan before a huge, enthusiastic crowd.

This year’s race will once again bring the curtain down on the SOD 2018 season and will be its fourth race at the storied raceway.  Besides last year’s event, SOD also raced at Berlin in 2013 and 2014.

Berlin Raceway, renown and respected in the pavement racing world, has proven that it has mastered the challenge of creating a temporary dirt track; last year’s surface produced competitive racing, withstanding the assault of a large field of sprint cars, late models, and modifieds.  SOD has used its “beyond limits” format to become the most recognized and respected regional sprint car series anywhere.  Together, the two oval track leaders promise to make this year’s race an event fans won’t want to miss.
