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.

ERIE, MI (February 7, 2018) – Lane Automotive and MSD Ignition have announced their return as the Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP Fast Master Award sponsors for 2018.

The popular award program was initiated last year by SOD.  Track conditions typically determine when fastest qualifying times are achieved, so in an effort to “spread the wealth”, SOD decided to pay the fastest qualifier in each heat race instead of just the overall fast qualifier.  Lane Automotive and MSD Ignition have teamed up to recognize these speedsters once again.

Lane Automotive is an amazing speed equipment industry phenomenon comprised of four separate divisions including Motor State Distributing, Allstar Performance, Lane Collectables, and the Lane Automotive Showroom.  Lane Automotive is known the world over as a premier supplier of performance parts and accessories for racers, hot rodders, truck and off-road enthusiasts.  Founded in 1964 by George Lane, the company serves customers around the world from its ultra-modern 275,000-square-foot distribution center and office complex in Watervliet, Michigan.  Visit www.laneautomotive.com to get to know Lane Automotive.

MSD, founded forty-eight years ago, is recognized as a leading name in ignition system products, EFI products and high performance parts. MSD designs, develops, tests and assembles its entire line of ignition boxes, crank triggers, distributors, EFI systems, transmission controllers, spark plugs, coils, spark plug wires, and other performance parts from its 150,000+ square feet headquarters in El Paso, Texas, where it employs over 400 people.  Read more about MSD at www.msdperformance.com.

ERIE, MI (February 3, 2018) – Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP is pleased to announce that the popular MAHLE/Clevite Beyond Limits Challenge is once again on the SOD schedule for 2018.

The challenge, known as the Short Track Challenge before 2016, was the first SOD mini-series and has been a fan favorite since its inception. It offers drivers the opportunity to compete in a mini-championship within the full Sprints on Dirt series for an additional, separate point fund.

The 2018 MAHLE/Clevite Beyond Limits Challenge will consist of five races; the dates and tracks for each race of this exciting mini-series will be announced later.

The BLC point fund will be paid out to the top five finishers at the 2018 Sprints On Dirt Awards Banquet. In addition, the MAHLE/Clevite Beyond Limits Challenge champion will be guaranteed a starting spot in the Mike Olrich Memorial Race at Crystal Motor Speedway on September 1st.

MAHLE Original is the “Global Star” within the MAHLE Aftermarket brand portfolio. The brand MAHLE stands for engine parts, filters, thermo management and mechatronics of uncompromising quality – in original equipment and aftermarket.

Clevite is an American brand with one of the oldest pedigrees and supplies pistons, assemblies, cylinder liners, bearings and valves for American commercial vehicles as well as construction and agricultural equipment applications.

ERIE, MI (January 30, 2018) – Merritt Speedway has announced that Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP will return to Merritt Speedway on Saturday, August 25.

Sprints On Dirt, in its first year of competition, 1980, raced at Merritt Speedway. The late Jerry Carmen won there on Sunday, August 3. The speedway has been a regular stop throughout most of SOD’s history since then.

Britton, Michigan’s Dan McCarron has found Merritt Speedway to be one of his favorite tracks. He drove to his second win at the speedway last August. McCarron was the class of the field as he took the lead on lap nine and fought off all challengers to win over 2017 SOD champion Steve Irwin and Ryan Ruhl.

“Michigan’s Premier Dirt Track” erected new aluminum bleachers and impressive Musco lighting a year ago, making the speedway a real showplace. New clay helped make 2017 SOD races among the best ever at the speedway.

ERIE, MI (January 25, 2018) – Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP is excited to announce that its racers will do battle at Tri-City Motor Speedway, Auburn, Michigan, on Friday, June 22 for the first time since 2015.

Sprints On Dirt last raced at TCMS twice in 2015.  Ryan Ruhl won his third SOD feature of the season on June 4.  Floridian Kyle Pitts, now a Polk County, Florida, deputy sheriff, picked up his only SOD win on July 17.

Tri-City Motor Speedway opened as a 1/4 mile dirt track in 1947.  A ½ mile paved track with a very unique, five-straightaway configuration was built in 1967.  The economy hit the speedway hard, and it closed in 2004.  Steve Puvalowski purchased the speedway in 2009 , and Tri-City Motor Speedway reopened as a 3/8 mile dirt track on June 17, 2011.

Under Puvalowski’s ownership, TCMS has become a fan favorite.  It is recognized for its emphasis on family-focused entertainment and efficiently run race programs.
