WHEATLAND, MO (Feb. 27th, 2014)- The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) and RacingJunk.com are proud to announce a partnership that begins with the 2014 racing season and extends through 2016. RacingJunk.com, the largest online motorsports marketplace, and the well-known dirt race series will offer cross-promotional activities aimed at drawing attention to the series, while providing competitors and fans with additional access and benefits.
“The Midwest and dirt racing in general is the heartbeat of RacingJunk.com, so it was a natural fit,” said Rob Adams, VP Marketing at Motorhead Media. “The MLRA has developed a great platform for dirt track racers and we’re thrilled to join the series and some of the hardest working and hardest charging racers in the country.”
As part of this partnership, Racing Junk and the MLRA have developed a new race by race and season ending award titled, “RacingJunk.com Hard Luck Award”. While no one wants to win this award, it will help ease the pain for the driver who has the worst luck of the race. Faulty engines, a bad crash, any of the things that can challenge a racer on any given weekend are bound to happen. RacingJunk.com is the largest online destination for racers to find those replacement parts that keep the wheels turning. Each race, the winner will be announced at MLRARacing.com and featured on The Burnout, RacingJunk’s new editorial site. At the end of the season, Racing Junk will also name an overall Hard Luck Award recipient.
“We’re very happy to have RacingJunk.com on board for the next three seasons with the Hard Luck Award Program and be a part of the Lucas Oil MLRA,” stated Lucas Oil MLRA Series Director Dan Robinson, “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the premier online source for racing parts and components.”
