SPENCER, Iowa – The tradition of IMCA racing will continue this summer with Sunday night action at the Clay County Fair Speedway.
Ten dates are on the IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing weekly schedule this summer. Special events will include two fair dates, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock and Stock Car specials, and a stop by the Arnold Motor Supply Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds in August.
Sunday June 4 will kick off the speedway’s third full season, which will run weekly through Aug. 13. Sprinkled in will be two Tuesday night dates as well as the Monday, Aug. 7 Hawkeye Dirt Tour event.
“We’re really excited about our move to Sunday racing here at the fairgrounds,” said Clay County Fair Manager Jeremy Parsons. “We’ll be one of the few tracks running on Sunday nights in the area, which should make for great racing for the drivers and fans alike.”
Adult general admission for regular season races will be $12; youth ages 12 and under are admitted free. Pit passes for regular season races are $25. Hot laps for Sunday will start at 5:30 p.m. sharp with racing to follow.
Rod Olson will take over the race director position this season with the retirement of Joe Ringsdorf. Olson has been active in the racing industry as a driver, promoter and IMCA tech official in the Northwest Iowa area for more than 20 years and currently promotes at two other area tracks. He brings with him fresh ideas that should excite both fans and drivers this season.
