LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 20, 2002) - The Valvoline Company has announced the
winners of the 2002 Valvoline Cup national points championship presented
by Campbell Hausfeld . Over 700 of the more than 84,000 competing drivers
will be receiving awards for their season long accomplishments, with the
awards going as far as thirtieth place in each class. Tina Schreiber from,
Minneapolis, MN, finished 17th nationally in the Open Wheel Sports Car
class.
The 2002 Valvoline Cup, 2002 marked the inaugural season of a national
championship that embraces all forms of motorsports competition among its
31 classes. In order to compete, drivers simply registered at their local
track for the program and then submitted their racing results after each
racing event they competed in throughout the season. At the end of the
racing season, each driver has been awarded points based on the best 15
event finishes. Schreiber earned Valvoline Cup points in Infineon Raceway
competition.
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 cars within
their program. The program has been presented without cost to drivers or
tracks.
Schreiber will share in a prize pool of over Five Hunderd Thousand Dollars, which includes a
combination of cash, Campbell Hausfeld equipment, Valvoline Racing
products support package, product rebates, Campbell Hausfeld and Valvoline
branded merchandise, Valvoline apparel and trophies.
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
sportsmen-class racers at NHRA pro events. For the past 17 years,
Valvoline has sponsored the national championships for the Sports Car Club
of America, The SCCA Valvoline Runoffs.
