worked with a number of series and divisions around the country,
including the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, NASCAR Whelen
Modified and Whelen Southern Modified Series, the ARCA RE/MAX Series,
CRA Super Series and the
 Lowe’s
Motor Speedway’s Summer Shootout Series, to honor those with some of
the biggest, most dedicated and passionate fans.
Now, Speed51.com
is taking the Most Popular Driver Award one step further with the help
of Aluminum Racing Products (ARP) Stock Car Bodies. The two will
pair up to crown the Speed51.com Super Late Model Most Popular Driver,
presented by ARP Stock Car Bodies, at the end of the 2007 season.

The award will be
open to a growing number of Pro or Super Late Model Series’ that
compete with ABC-style bodies and will allow one driver to be called
the most popular Super Late Model driver in the country. The list

Midwest Series, ASA Late Model Challenge, North and South Series’,
Birmingham Super Series, the Blizzard Series at Five Flags Speedway,
CRA Super Series, Goodyear Challenge Series, Sunbelt Super Series,
Georgia Asphalt Series, PASS North, PASS South, Wisconsin Challenge

“We’re very
pleased to be working with Speed51.com on this very unique award,”
said ARP’s Roy Dies Jr. “We want to be known as a company who gives
back to the racers. We are a sponsor with so many series’ out there
and we love doing it because it gives something back to those that use
our products. It’s a way to show those people that we really do
appreciate their business.
“Super Late Model
racing is big for our company. I think it’s big for racing in
general. And we’ve seen a growth in Super Late Model racing again as
of late. It seems to be on its way back up after being down there for
a couple of years. There are larger car counts; there are more races
and there are more, better paying events than there were five years
ago and that is getting drivers out there. So now is a perfect time
for this cool award and Speed51.com is the perfect place to do it.”
To be eligible for
the award, drivers will need to be in the top-20 in their respective
Pro or Super Late Model series by June 30th. Voting will
begin on Speed51.com on July 1st and continue through
November 30th. Look for more details in coming weeks.
The winner of the
award will receive a complete ABC “Package A” body from ARP Stock Car
Bodies. For more info on ARP or what is included with a “Package A”
body, please call 1-888-245-1468.
“Speed51.com is
known as being one of the biggest supporters of the short track world
and ARP is definitely one of the best companies out there for the
racers to work with, so it’s perfect for us to come together on this
award,” said Speed51.com Executive Editor and SPEED Broadcaster Bob
Dillner. “We love getting involved with the drivers and our most
popular driver programs have been big. So to do this award, which
doesn’t just focus on one specific series, will be something different
for us.
“There are a lot
of good drivers out there that have a lot of fans all over the
country. Hopefully all of them will get involved with Speed51.com
through the ARP Super Late Model Most Popular Driver Award. And it’s
great because drivers from ACT and PASS in the northeast can battle
with drivers from the Blizzard Series and the Sunbelt Series without
being on the track. It’s going to be a really cool deal.”
