CONCORD, N.C. (January 15) - World Racing Group announced today that Alltel Wireless, America's largest network, providing coverage across the nation, will be the title sponsor for the 37th Annual DIRTcar Nationals.

The Alltel DIRTcar Nationals is the perfect spot to launch the 2008 racing season, with 12 consecutive nights of racing and more than half a million dollars at stake during the Feb. 5-16 event at Volusia Speedway Park near Daytona Beach, Fla.
