Help Us Hand Out $70,000
To The Most Deserving Driver.
Between now and the end of the 2010 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, the following drivers will be competing for a 2011 season sponsorship from ApplianceZone.com Racing worth $70,000.
ApplianceZone.com, a leading online retailer of appliance parts, and Lucas Oil, renowned manufacturer of petroleum additives and oils for high performance engines, are two companies created with very little start up money and huge amounts of drive.
That’s why our Development Program sponsorship prize isn’t just handed out …it has to be earned!
Roll up your sleeves and help them pull their weight.

The following drivers are all deserving ...but only one wins.
