VINTON, Iowa (July 5) – A potential payday of $3,600 is on the line when Benton County Speedway hosts its annual Hogan Memorial for IMCA Modifieds this Sunday, July 10.
The feature now pays $1,350 to win and an¬other $50 for each of the 40 laps led, plus another $250 to the leader at midway. The winner will also be added to the ballot for the 2012 Fast Shafts All-Star Invi¬tational.
A minimum of $110, including sponsor money, will be paid to make the main event. Two former race winners and the top two drivers in lo¬cal track points who do not qualify will receive provi¬sional starts.

The winner also goes home with a Hoosier race tire and feature qualifiers will be entered in a drawing for a barrel of methanol from Fauser Oil.
A mandatory caution will be thrown for a five minute break midway through the feature, with all cars stopping on the frontstretch.
IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Mach-1 Sport Compacts will vie for all applicable IMCA points.
