Leaders In National Valvoline Cup
Competition
Oct. 15, 2003 – The racing season is winding down for most
local racers across America and several men and women are
battling for the Valvoline Cup national driver point’s
championship.
The top driver from across the country
in each of the thirty-one Valvoline Cup classes will be
crowned national champions in 2003. Valvoline Cup winners
last season took home more than $400,000 in cash and prizes.

Nascar Winston Cup driver Johnny
Benson says the prize money goes a long way in Saturday
night racing. “This program targets the drivers who
can use the money the most in racing,” Benson said.
“These drivers don’t get a lot of financial support, but
they are important to the sport. They put on the shows where
most of us first started racing. If you look at a list of
the top drivers in the country most come from Saturday night
racing families."
The Valvoline Cup is contested by
virtually all drivers in all types and classes of wheel to
wheel competition in all sanctioned racing or track
sponsored weekly racing programs throughout the U.S. Every
driver is awarded points for finishing positions in his or
her own racing series.
There are no Valvoline Cup rules with
respect to the cars, tracks and racing. The rules of the
tracks and sanctioning organizations under which each driver
competes will govern that driver and the car. The Valvoline
Cup is a measure of the success of a driver within his or
her racing program relative to the success of other drivers
in similar cars within their program. Every driver will be
awarded points for finishing positions in his or her own
racing series.
