BARBERVILLE, Fla. — Before the iconic Big Gator trophy is awarded at the 52nd Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, Feb. 6-18, some of DIRTcar’s most hardcore racers will take the road less traveled and pursue the UMP Florida Modified Speedweeks championship. An overall points tally will be kept, with drivers earning points for their finishes in each feature to determine the champion after the final race day at Volusia on Saturday, Feb. 11. Saturday’s feature pays $1,000 to the winner with $2,000 going to Sunday’s winner. The final push for the Florida Speedweeks championship goes through the single toughest test in DIRTcar UMP Modified racing. Friday’s field will be split in half for the Gator Qualifier night before the $5,000-to-win Gator Championship event on Saturday. The Florida Speedweeks champion will also be determined after Saturday night, awarded to the driver with the most points over the three-week series.
