MOSER POSTS IHRA SPORTSMAN MONEY
Greg Moser, President / CEO of Moser Engineering has announced the
Moser Axle Mania program for IHRA sportsman racers which will have a
$46,000 purse, including a top prize of $20,000. To be eligible, a racer
must run a set of Moser axles and have the proper Moser Engineering
decals, which will be available at each IHRA National and Holley Sportsman
Championship event. The top four eligible racers in each of the eight
sportsman classes will comprise the 32-car field. Points will be accumulated
throughout the year, with the first Moser Axle Mania to be run on the
eighth-mile at Darlington in 2001. Contact Moser Engineering at 219-726-6689
or www.moserengineering.com
for complete details.
FORCE WAS FIRST DRAG RACER NOMINATED FOR ESPY AWARD
John Force was one of three finalists for the ESPN Espy Award as 1999
Auto Racer of the Year. The first drag racer ever included in the ESPN
all-sports awards show, Force joined Dale Earnhart, the 1999 NASCAR
Winston Cup Champion, and Juan Montoya, the 1999 CART Champion as nominees.
Earnhart won the award at presentation ceremonies at the MGM Grand Hotel
on Monday, February 14.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
NHRA's new advertising campaign should provide greater name recognition
for NHRA Winston Drag Racing. A new print ad is scheduled to appear
in Sports Illustrated and a TV ad reportedly will air during
the Daytona 500. Also look for a Ford TV ad at Daytona featuring Dale
Jarrett and the inimitable John Force.
