Their model fits my thinking and it will give me flexibility in the future promoting races” says Marlow.

Michigan Dirt Cup has been featured on the cover of many racing magazines, many of our racing events have gone viral across social media, and year after year we have drivers in the top 3 in the national point’s standings. Michigan Dirt Cup had a fantastic group of drivers that competed in the best modified races in the country and we thank every single one of them. The success of the Michigan Dirt Cup is due to our commitment to our Fans, Drivers, our Tracks, and our Michigan heritage.
