Lee
County Speedway, 34 Raceway and Quincy Raceways sanction Modifieds with IMCA
Vinton,
Iowa (Nov. 11, 2005) IMCA Sunoco Modified drivers from east and west of the
Mississippi will have the opportunity to race a Friday-Saturday-Sunday swing,
with the announcement of new sanctions on both sides of the river for 2006.
Lee
County Speedway in Donnellson, 34 Raceway in West Burlington and Quincy, Ill.,
Raceway will sanction their Modified divisions with IMCA beginning next season.
Lee County and 34 are also adding IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars to their weekly race
programs.
All three
tracks will be part of IMCA's Lucas Oil North Central Region for Modifieds while
34 Raceway and Lee County are in the Jet Racing Northern Region for Stock Cars.
"We are
looking forward to having a solid set of rules to race under, while giving our
drivers the opportunity to race for a national championship," said Terry Hoenig,
who promotes the Friday night races at Lee County and Saturday night shows at
34. "IMCA will be allowing several phase-in provisions for Modifieds at
Donnellson, West Burlington and Quincy. Our drivers will be able to run the same
engine they used this year."
"With
IMCA restructuring their claim procedure," he added, "we believe our drivers
will be happy with the end result."
"The IMCA
sanction will make it more cost effective for racers and all the cars more
competitive,² agreed Jeff Scott, assistant promoter at Quincy. ³It will be good
to have three tracks running the same rules and it gives us the chance to put
together some special events throughout the season."
IMCA has
sanctioned Late Models at 34 since 1997 and Sunday nights at Quincy for the past
eight seasons. Both the Modifieds and Stock Cars are returning to the Lee County
card, the Modifieds after a seven year hiatus and the Stocks following a two
year absence.
"These
tracks are already familiar with our point system and procedures," IMCA Vice
President of Operations Brett Root said ³Their Modifieds are not far from being
IMCA legal now and we'll work with track officials and drivers in addressing the
remaining issues."
"Whenever
drivers can race three consecutive nights," he added, "it gives them the chance
to capitalize on local, state, regional and national point systems we have in
place."
Quincy's
first night for Modified points will be April 2. Paired with Deery Brothers
Summer Series events, opening night at Donnellson is tentatively set for April
7, with the first green flag of the season at West Burlington on April 8.
