CONCORD, N.C. — The largest sanctioning body for dirt-track racing in the United States established a DIRTcar Racing base for the western region of the country in Southern California under the direction of experienced motorsports manager and developer Chris Morgan.
Like UMP DIRTcar Racing in the Midwest and DIRTcar Racing Northeast, DIRTcar Racing Western Region brings significant benefits to member competitors and track operators, from insurance to point funds.
“We recognize the passion of racing fans in the western region of the country, and while we are a national company we realize that solidifying weekly and grassroots racing creates benefits for competitors and fans,” World Racing Group President Tom Deery said. “The time has come for us to bring that to the West Coast, where dirt-racing fans are some of the most passionate in the country.”
“I’m excited to represent the World Racing Group and DIRTcar Racing in the western United States,” said Chris Morgan, who’s managed a diverse set of motorsports programs for NASCAR and USAC as well as facilities including Irwindale Speedway. “I have seen the many benefits of DIRTcar Racing’s programs for promoters and racers in the Midwestern and Eastern sections of the country. This program will replicate these successes and bring this proven formula to our racing partners across the West.”
