Ron Ward of Ward Land Management and Development (WLM&D), will be increasing his 2018 sponsorship for the North State Modified Series, presented by Protect the Harvest, for the entire racing season. Last year his other business, Ward Ranches, donated $250 to the winner of the modified feature events, boosting the first place money from $1000 to $1250.

Ward will continue to donate $250 to the winner, plus he will add $150 to the second place finisher this year, bringing that payout up to $850. In addition the WLM&D fast time award has been established and will pay $100 to the fastest qualifier at each event.

Ward hails from Sparks, Nevada and specializes in commercial, industrial and residential land management and development.

In addition North State Modified Series is continuing its partnership with Lucas Oil and Protect the Harvest. Protect the Harvest was created by Lucas Oil founder Forrest Lucas to defend and preserve the freedoms of American consumers, farmers, ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and animal owners.

Lucas Oil will once again fund a tow-money program for the drivers whereby the top 10 points leaders will each receive $200 upon arriving at the race track, and 11th through 15th in points will get $100. It will begin at the second NSMS event at Redwood Acres Raceway in Eureka.

The Lucas Oil Dash for Cash will also continue, paying $100 to the winner and $50 to second place in the six-lap race.

The North State Modified Series opens its 2018 racing season at Shasta Speedway in Anderson, CA on May 12. NSMS modified rules, procedures and other information are available at www.northstatemodifieds.com.

The North State Modified Series is also presented by: Hoosier Tire West, Sunoco Race Fuels, Naake Suspension, Five Star Bodies, Racer Bling, Keyser Racing Products, and Scribner Plastics.
