Trophy Cup Champion To Receive Gold Ring

TULARE, Calif. — With the 28th Trophy Cup ready to tackle Thunderbowl Raceway next week, Promoter Steve Faria announced an added bonus to the event.

The driver who wins the overall title at the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup presented by Rudeen Racing already goes home with $28,000 in weekend earnings. Whoever wins will also take home a commemorative 14k solid gold ring engraved with the 28th annual Trophy Cup logo.

Not only will the Trophy Cup champ take home the prize, Faria has also offered up another 14k solid gold ring to be auctioned off at the event to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The 28th Trophy Cup occurs on October 20-22 at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway.

“The Trophy Cup is such a great event for an outstanding cause, and we are really ramping up for it,” Faria said. “I wanted to do something special for the champion this year, so felt that offering up this 14k solid gold ring with the Trophy Cup logo on it was just that. The event is all about raising money for Make-A-Wish and doing another ring for the auction was a no brainer for us a well.”
