VINTON, Iowa (May 1) – Two more tracks have returned contracts to
sanction with IMCA for five seasons.
Aztec, N.M., Speedway and McCook, Neb., Speedway will feature IMCA
Modifieds and IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars in weekly programs through 2012.
Aztec will also run Southern SportMods, McCook the IMCA Sunoco Hobby
Stocks.
McCook promoter Chuck Gray emphasized the Red Willow County Fair
Board’s support of the long-term pact.
“We decided to go for it and let everybody know we’d be sanctioned
for the next five years,” he said. “We have been very happy with IMCA
and our drivers like that they don’t have to change their cars to
race at other tracks in the area.”
An announcement on the contract was made during the April 18 show at
McCook. Drivers at Aztec are getting letters from promoter Tre
Brewbaker.
“This helps us lay out the groundwork for what we’re going to do the
next five years,” Brewbaker said. “Drivers will know what they have
to do to be IMCA legal when they build a car and that any changes
will be minimal, and that will help us build our car counts up.”
Crystal, Mich., Motor Speedway became the first track with a five-
year contract, for Modifieds, in 2007.
“Long-term contracts send a message that tracks have the best
interest of their drivers in mind,” said IMCA Vice President of
Operations Brett Root. “Drivers can build cars knowing they’ll be
able to race them at these tracks for at least five years.”
