With over 100 entrants in each of the past two years, and as many or more expected for 2023, a new event format is in order \u2013 one that gives even more drivers a chance to win throughout the week, start the Gator Championship on Saturday and put more money in their pockets.<\/p>\n

The DIRTcar UMP Modifieds kick off the first week of DIRTcar Nationals, Feb. 6-11, alongside the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.<\/p>\n
