BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 16, 2024) – As the name of the event would suggest, double features are on the schedule for any division with more than 100 cars competing each night of the Wild Rose Casino Double Down Prelude Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 at Boone Speedway.
Both Friesen Performance IMCA Modified features will pay $1,500 to win and both IMCA Sunoco Stock Car features $1,000 to win on Saturday; if not already eligible, winners can qualify for their respective All-Star Invitationals later in the week.
$250 to win features for Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compacts will also be held on Saturday, $750 to win features for Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods and $400 to win features for IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks on Sunday if their entry numbers top 100.
“A record 664 cars in those five divisions competed, making last year’s Prelude the second biggest dirt track event of 2024,” noted IMCA President Brett Root. “It also gives drivers the invaluable opportunity to race at Boone right before the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.”
IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing National, regional and state points will be awarded each night.
“Drivers must be pre-registered for Super Nationals to compete in the Double Down Prelude, and all drivers racing at Boone that week will be allowed to hot lap both Saturday and Sunday nights,” Root said. “All Double Down features will be started double file. The only three-wide starts that week in Boone will be in the Super Nationals main events.”
Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites run their complete Super Nationals program during the Prelude with heats on Saturday and last chance races, the race of champions and $2,000 to win main event on Sunday.
Pit gates at Iowa’s Action Track open at 11 a.m. both days. The grandstand opens at 1 p.m., hot laps are at 1:30 p.m. and racing is at 3 p.m. Pit passes are $35. Spectator admission is $20 for adults and $10 for students ages 6-17.
IMCA.TV broadcasts both days of the 10th annual Double Down Prelude as well as the entire week of the Sept. 2-7 IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
