CHASE SIGNS AND GRAPHICS WILL SPONSOR THE WDRL LATE MODEL SERIES' ROOKIE OF THE YEAR PROGRAM Company shows its longtime support for the series by taking on the additional sponsorship GILMAN CITY, Mo. (Mar 15) - Chase Signs and Graphics is the 2008 sponsor of the WORLD Dirt Racing League Late Model Series' Rookie of the Year Program. "Lee Havlik and Josh Anderson, owners of Chase Signs and Graphics, have been strong supporters of the WORLD Dirt Racing League since it's inception in 2002," said WDRL president Jim Wilson. "They have been contingency sponsors and much more." Chase Signs and Graphics has sponsored the WDRL Hard Luck Award, which awards a Chase Signs and Graphics certificate to the driver selected by WDRL officials as having experienced the worst luck of the night at each race. Chase Signs and Graphics also annually presents the WDRL champion and the winner of the WDRL Rookie of the Year competition with a free race car wrap. That's not all. Chase Signs and Graphics provides the lettering on the WORLD Dirt Racing League Late Model Series tech trailer and the WDRL tow vehicle. The company also supplies WDRL with WORLD Dirt Racing League decals for the race cars. Wilson said Chase Signs and Graphics will continue those existing sponsorships in 2008 in addition to sponsoring the WORLD Dirt Racing League Rookie of the Year Program. "We're very excited that Chase Signs and Graphics has agreed to become the WDRL Rookie of the Year sponsor," said Wilson. "The rookie program always attracts a lot of very good drivers -- Brady Smith, Justin Fegers and John Kaanta, for example, all have won rookie championships. I think having Chase Signs and Graphics as the program sponsor will make the rookie championship even more attractive. "Incidentally, Brady Smith and Justin Fegers both have also won WDRL series championships, and John Kaanta finished a strong second in series points in 2007," Wilson added. To be eligible as a WORLD Dirt Racing League Rookie of the Year candidate, a driver must become a WDRL member. Forms are available on the series' web site, www.worldraceleague.com. Candidates cannot have started more than six WDRL feature events in any one season and cannot have won a WDRL feature event. Each participant must complete the application form to be considered for eligibility, which must be approved by the WDRL office. The 2008 WDRL season kicks off Friday, April 11, at Davenport (Iowa) Speedway, located at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. Sunday, April 13, is being reserved as a rain date at the half-mile dirt track, if needed.
