Super Cup Stock Car Series Names Eric Dobson as Race Director

Statesville, North Carolina (December 15, 2020) – Since 2010, Joe Schmaling has performed Race Director duties each time the field takes the green flag on race weekends in addition to his day-to-day management of the Super Cup Stock Car Series.  Beginning in 2021, he will voluntarily step aside from that specific role to focus more closely on his continued contributions as Director of Competition.

In preparation, a qualified individual was sought over the last few months and a decision was ultimately made.  Eric Dobson has accepted the offer and will take charge of the tasks related to the position ahead of the new season.

“Everyone I've spoken to calls the Super Cup Stock Car Series a family,” the resident of Butler, Pennsylvania commented.  “I look forward to becoming a part of that family.”

Dobson has worked within motorsports operations at a wide array of short tracks and road racing facilities in recent years.  His expertise has predominantly been serving as a member of various safety teams, helping and directing functions such as EMS and fire extrication at venues including Watkins Glen International, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Pittsburgh International Race Complex, Lucas Oil Raceway, and even Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  He now looks to challenge himself as part of the series, taking on an expanded and pivotal role.

“It’s an opportunity to learn more,” Dobson indicated.  “I’ve mostly limited myself to the safety aspect, but always had interest and wanted to experience more of the entire industry.”

The goals Dobson looks to bring to the SCSCS are simple and straightforward.

“I feel part of the Race Director’s responsibility is to keep continually moving forward, not allowing things to fall backwards,” Dobson added.  “Hopefully I can do my part to help the series grow and make it better for everybody involved.”

Dobson can be contacted at e.dobsonscscs@gmail.com.

The Super Cup Stock Car Series is currently in the process of finalizing dates and will have official announcements regarding the 2021 schedule in the weeks ahead.  Fans and competitors alike can keep up with the latest happenings at the official web site supercupstockcarseries.com, Facebook (search Super Cup Stock Car Series), Twitter (@SCSCSRacing), and Instagram (SCSCS_Racing).
