Standardized Rules

DIRTcar Racing sets technical rules for its divisions, allowing drivers to travel to any DIRTcar-sanctioned speedway or event and compete without making changes to their cars’ components, bodywork or tires. These standardized rules provide the perfect framework for track promoters to draw large fields of cars from across the region to their major events while easing the burden on promoters when tough decisions have to be made regarding rules.

His partnership with Tony Stewart Racing elevated both his performance and professionalism, setting a modern standard for excellence in sprint car racing.

His ability to both build and drive race cars at an elite level showcases a deep understanding of every mechanical and strategic aspect of the sport, giving him an edge few competitors possess.
What sets Hoffman apart among featured World of Outlaws drivers is his determination to elevate his game and compete with the best night after night.

Mat Williamson has become one of the defining drivers of the Super DIRTcar Series thanks to his exceptional skill, intelligence, and consistency behind the wheel. Hailing from St. Catharines, Ontario, Williamson has risen through the ranks to become a multi-time Super DIRTcar Series champion and a winner of the sport’s crown jewel — Super DIRT Week — where he became the first Canadian driver to claim the prestigious Billy Whittaker Cars 200. His smooth yet aggressive driving style, combined with a deep understanding of setup and track management, makes him a threat at every venue on the schedule. Whether on the slick clay of Weedsport or the high banks of Oswego, Williamson’s ability to find speed when others can’t has earned him a reputation as one of the smartest and most composed racers in Big Block Modified history.
