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.
