Inside Line Promotions – EAGLE, Neb. (May 21, 2013) – For Nebraskan Jack Dover, the Hinchman Racewear Eagle Nationals are much more than another race a half hour from where he grew up.

National Dirt Racing League Rule Book Amended, Stiffer Penalties Announced

Pittsburgh, PA (May 21, 2013) In light of recent developments within the dirt late model community, NDRL officials have made changes to their official rule book, section 12.17 Tires. Changes made to the rule book include stiffer penalties for lab tested tires that do not conform to their manufacturer’s benchmark.

Previously, a driver’s tire that would come back from the lab and not conform to the manufacturer’s benchmark would lead to the driver being disqualified from that event and forfeiture of all monetary winnings and NDRL points. The driver would also suffer a $1,500 fine for their first offense and be responsible for reimbursement of all lab testing costs. The amended rule for a first offense now calls for the same driver disqualification, forfeiture of all monetary winnings, NDRL points, and reimbursement of all lab costs with the addition of a suspension of at least 90 days and a fine of 50% of the winner’s share of the total purse of given event.
