JULY 2, 2007 - Hoosier Tire’s DT-3 tire will become the
mandatory right-rear tire for usage in Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car racing
beginning September 8 at Ventura (Calif.) Raceway.
The more durable, less expensive tire has proven effective since its
implementation at the start of the 2007 Lucas Oil National Sprint Car campaign.
This move has met with approval and is considered a very positive step by Lucas
Oil USAC National competitors. The switch to the DT-3 is the latest move toward
corralling costs in USAC Sprint Car racing.
Since the USAC/CRA series takes a hiatus to allow its participants to compete in
the traditional Lucas Oil “Indiana Sprint Week” events, only five series
races remain before the implementation of the DT-3. Those events are scheduled
July 28 at Hanford, Aug. 4 at Perris, Aug. 11 at Santa Maria and Aug. 18 and
Sept. 1 at Perris.
The DT-3 therefore will become the mandatory right rear tire for both the
“Perris Oval Nationals” at Perris, Calif. and the “Western World
Championships” at Phoenix, Ariz. in November, featuring both the USAC/CRA and
USAC National participants.
