Ice Breaker Challenge marks historical debut for IMCA Eagle Motorsports RaceSaver Sprint Cars
EAGLE, Neb. (April 16) – The winged division familiar to fans for much of the 50-year history at Eagle Raceway makes another debut this Saturday, April 20.
Newly-sanctioned IMCA Eagle Motorsports RaceSaver Sprint Cars run for $1,000 to win and a minimum of $250 to start on night two of the traditional Ice Breaker Challenge special.
“It’s exciting to bring the new sanction here and run under a set of rules that are unified throughout the country,” Eagle promoter Roger Hadan said. “IMCA will help keep this class affordable.”
Sprint Cars have raced at The World’s Fastest Third Mile since the early 1970’s. Once known as the hoodoo class, the Sprints have enjoyed a colorful history at Eagle, which announced its intentions to become the first IMCA Eagle Motorsports RaceSaver-sanctioned track in Nebraska last fall.
Thirty-five competitors took turns behind the wheel during each of two test days held for the class last fall.
Saturday’s complete payout is: 1-$1,000; 2-$700; 3-$600; 4-$500; 5-$400; 6-$350; 7-$325; 8-$300; 9-$295; 10-$290; 11-$285; 12-$280; 13-$275; 14-$270; 15-$265; 16-$260; 17-$255; 18-$250; 19-$250; 20-$250. Non-qualifiers from the “B” feature(s) get $100. Tow money is $50.
IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing national and Allstar Performance state points will be awarded.
Gates to the pit area open at 4 p.m. The grandstand opens at 5 p.m. and racing starts at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Saturday spectator admission is $15 for adults. Children ages six to 12 are $5 and five and under get in free. Pit passes are $25.
