Dirt racing a crucial part of the Clash

The Walls' Roofing UCAR Clash series is a grassroots success, and nothing is more grassroots than a Saturday night on the dirt track. As the series rolls into Fayetteville Motor Speedway Saturday night, the Clash continues an important tradition of red-clay racing. It's a tradition you shouldn't expect to change.

I started on dirt and I think every driver should race dirt before they ever get to asphalt," said Larry Walls, series director. "People agree with that across the board. It's hard to take a person who has driven nothing but asphalt and put them on dirt. On dirt, loose is fast. You have to get the rear end out there."

Last year's champion, Keith Brame Jr. dominiated the dirt races, winning all three events. However, this season has been wide-open, with five different winners in five races. Expect big things as the Clash slides into the Fayetteville. This will mark the third type of racing surface the series has visited this year.

When you have got somebody that can run dirt, asphalt and road course and can get the job done, they are out there driving and showing what their skills give them," Walls said. "If you are looking to make NASCAR you better have all three under their belt to get to NASCAR. Dirt teaches you if you lose the rear of your car how to get it back. It teaches you if you lose the nose of your car how to get it back. It teaches you how to set a car up for different conditions. That's why I love dirt.

As the season continues, The series biggest races are on the horizon. With the economy hurting racers and car counts dropping across the country, Walls has developed a plan to make the last three races of the season, at North Wilkesboro, Wake County and Dillon, the biggest races in the history of UCAR racing- the triple crown.

"I'm going to go right to the point. The last three races are my biggest races of the year," Walls said. "You have North Wilkesboro, the NASCAR track, it's an honor to even be considered for being there. Then you follow that up with Wake County with the Spooktacular and it's averaged 30 cars every race we've had there at the end of the season. Then you go to the national championship at Dillon and you've got to pull them off in three weekends."

The winner of all three races, the triple crown, will receive a $500 bonus on top of regular race purses. If a driver can win two of the three races, it's a $200 bonus. If no one collects the triple crown, the driver with the best average finish in the three races will be declared the triple crown champion and will collect a $200 bonus and a trophy.
