Sport Compacts added to Tuesday program at Super Nationals
BOONE, Iowa (May 22) – The first Mach-1 Sport Compact champion will be crowned Tuesday, Sept. 6, when the 4-cylinder division joins the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Cenex program.
All heat races, last-chance features and the main event will be held on night two of the 29th an¬nual Super Nationals at Boone Speedway.
“Eighteen tracks are sanctioning the class and we already have 300 licensed Sport Compact driv¬ers this season. Those numbers warrant adding the division to this event,” said IMCA Vice Presi¬dent of Operations Brett Root. “A race of this magnitude does not exist anywhere else for the class. Super Nationals is the perfect stage for these drivers to compete at a premier level.”
Top four feature finishers will receive trophies. The champion also receives a jacket from Speedway Motors and contingency awards will be given.
The purse is yet to be determined.
“We’ll do our best to have the payout fall in line with what weekly tracks are doing,” Root said, also noting that no race of champions would be held for Sport Compacts.
Opening night of the Sept. 5-10 Super Nationals includes the entire Deery Brothers Summer Se¬ries for Late Models card and qualifying for Hobby Stocks and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods.
Hobby Stock and Northern SportMod qualifying races join Sport Compacts on the Tuesday pro¬gram.
Modifieds and Stock Cars qualify Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Fast Shafts All-Star Invita¬tional is also on Friday.
Saturday’s finale sports last-chance qualifying for Modifieds, race of champions events and main events for SportMods, Hobby Stocks, Stock Cars and Modifieds.
Modifieds comprised the entire Super Nationals program from 1983-1987. Late Models and Stock Cars were added in 1988, Hobby Stocks in 1997 and the Northern SportMods in 2005.
