Modified Money Increased for the 34th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50

Construction Partnership Inc. and NAPA Auto Parts Add Money to the USRA Modified A-Main Event

SPRING VALLEY, MN - July 5, 2013: The NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 has always been known to be a late model event but over the years the open wheeled modifieds have taken part of the spotlight and this year fans can expect more of the same.

Deer Creek Speedway has been known to have one of the most talented and competitive weekly USRA modified divisions in the country and this week they will get a chance to show the world what the hype is all about.  Fans from across the Midwest show up early for the annual event to watch the teams pull in wondering who will be next and when it comes to the modified division there is certain to be a few surprises.

Originally the event was scheduled to pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start for the 24 car A-Main field but that has since changed.  The great folks at NAPA Auto Parts will again offer their bonus program and will provide stickers to teams who wish to participate.  If a driver volunteers to participate and wins their heat races they will get a $100 bonus, but that’s not all.  If a participating driver wins the A-Main event they will get and additional $1,000 bonus as well!

Well race fans things have changed yet again thanks to Construction Partnership, Inc. whom has thrown another $500 to the top of the payout giving someone a chance of taking home a combined $3,600.
