$2000 Challenge Decal Placement Guide:

The following decals should be shown on all cars, and must be shown by under budget cars for the duration of the event:

  • Tire Rack Windshield Banner applied in accordance with Tire Rack Decal Guidelines

  • 2x Grassroots Motorsports sticker (one on left and right side)

  • 2x $2000 Challenge sticker (one on left and right side)
