| Valvoline Cup Awards Florida Drivers | The Valvoline Company has announced the winners of the 2003 Valvoline Cup national points championship. Approximately 1,000 of the more than 91,000 competing drivers will be receiving awards for their season-long accomplishments, with the awards going as far as 30th place in each or the 36 Valvoline Cup classes.
The 2003 Valvoline Cup marked the second season of a national championship that embraces all forms of motorsports competition. In order to compete, drivers simply register for the program at their local track, by mail or on the Valvoline Cup website. Competitors then submit their finishes after each event in which they compete. At the end of the racing season, each driver is awarded points based on the best 15 finishes.
The Valvoline Cup provides classes for drivers in every form of motorsports.
Thomas King of Bartow, FL finished 13th nationally in the Truck class of the Valvoline Cup.
Wayne Reutimann Jr. of Zephyrhills, FL finished sixth nationally in the Sprint Car class
Cheryl Weaver of Port Charlotte , FL finished eighth nationally in the Truck class of the Valvoline Cup.
Sport Allen of Largo, FL finished eighth nationally in the Sprint Car class of the Valvoline Cup
Robbie Storer of Auburndale finished fifth in the 4 cylinder dirt/
asphalt stock division in the Valvoline Cup.
There are no Valvoline Cup program rules with respect to the cars, tracks and racing. Instead, the rules of the tracks and sanctioning organizations under which each driver competes govern that driver and the car. The Valvoline Cup measures the success of a driver within his or her racing program relative to the success of other drivers in similar vehicles within their program. The program is presented without cost to drivers or tracks.
The Valvoline Cup is only the latest example of Valvoline's support of grassroots racers. Valvoline is a contingency sponsor in NHRA drag racing and for the past six years has been the No. 1 choice of motor oil by NHRA sportsman-class racers at NHRA pro events. For the past 17 years, Valvoline has sponsored the national championships for the SCCA Valvoline Runoffs®. Associate sponsors of the 2003 Valvoline Cup have been Lincoln Electric Company, Titan Laboratories and Blair Custom Wear.
Drivers and others interested in the 2004 Valvoline Cup program can learn more about the program on the official Valvoline Cup website at www.valvolinecup.com, or by contacting Valvoline Cup program headquarters at PO Box 43887, Birmingham, AL 35243.
