ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Niece Motorsports officials have announced that the Saturday night super late model winner during the Gateway Dirt Nationals will earn not just $30,000, but also the opportunity to race in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
The winner of the Saturday super late model feature inside The Dome at America’s Center will be rewarded with the opportunity to race a Niece Motorsports truck in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway on June 18.
The Win & You’re In program offers a unique opportunity for some of the country’s best grassroots racers to earn an opportunity they otherwise may not be able to secure.
“So many of us at this organization cut our teeth in racing at dirt tracks,” said Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw. “I truly believe that these drivers are some of the most talented in the country, so we’re excited to give someone another platform to showcase their abilities.”
Gateway Dirt Nationals promoter Cody Sommer is well known for unique promotions and feels this is something that continues to set this event apart from the industry.
“When we sat down and put this together it really got me excited to think about it,” said Sommer. “Imagine if Tyler Carpenter would have won this in 2019; this opportunity for that grassroots-level racer is truly once in a lifetime and it just feels great to be a part of something like this for this year’s event.”
