MANDAN, N.D. – Kupper Chevrolet has again renewed its contract as title sponsor for the Dakota Classic Tour for IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars.
This latest extension marks the third time the Mandan, N.D.-based Chevrolet dealership has renewed its three-year sponsorship that furnishes point fund moneys for both divisions, along with individual track support for the series.
“We are proud to support local dirt track racing in our community and thrilled to once again sign on as the title sponsor of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour,” said Kupper Chevrolet owner Bob Kupper.

On Friday, July 12, Dacotah Speedway also hosts the Corral Sales Legendary 50 that pays $10,004 to win the IMCA Modified feature.
“Kupper’s sponsorship is a significant reason why the tour pays its large nightly purse that attracts the very best drivers from the continent,” noted Director John Gartner.
The Kupper Chevrolet Dakota Classic Tour will pay all IMCA Modified feature winners $2,400, with $300 to start the 30-lap feature. IMCA Sunoco Stock Car winners receive $800 and $100 to start their 25-lap features.
