The first leg of the Modified 811 Dig Safe Series on April 24 coincides with the month of April being designated as the National Dig Safe Month. The month long awareness of 811 serves as a reminder to all people who excavate or dig to call 811, at least 72 hours prior to digging, to have the approximate location of their utility lines marked. This process helps prevent injuries, property damage, and inconvenient utility outages.
The remaining events for the Modified 811 Dig Safe Series take place on May 15, June 12, July 10 and July 31. The champion of the Modified 811 Dig Safe Series will be awarded a minimum of $1,000. The driver that finishes in second will take home at least $500 while a minimum of $250 will go to the third place finisher in the point standings. In addition, all drivers that compete in all five contests but who finish out of the top five in points will be given perfect attendance bonus checks. Distribution of all point fund and bonus monies in the Modified 811 Dig Safe Series will be completed by Wiz Motorsports Communications at the 2015 Bridgeport Speedway banquet.
