BOONE, Iowa (May 24) – The
Deery Brothers Summer Series for IMCA Late Models takes top billing in the
traditional Memorial Day special at Boone Speedway. Pit gates open at 2 p.m.
and the grandstand opens at 3 p.m. on Monday, May 31. Hot laps are at 4 p.m.
and racing begins at 5 p.m. The 40-lap main event pays $2,000 to win and a
minimum of $250 to start. Grandstand admission is
$15 for adults and $5 for kids. Pit passes are $25. More information about
the holiday special is available by calling 515

www.raceboone.com. Completing the card are
IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, Karl Chevrolet Northern
SportMods and the local dwarf class. Thirty-three previous
series events at Boone have produced 21 different winners. Current point
leader Ray Guss Jr. of Milan, Ill., is the most recent, with his checkered
flag run at last September’s IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals. The defending Memorial Day
winner is Josh Most of Red Oak. That victory was his career first on the
circuit. A model of consistency
thus far in 2010, Guss has a win and has finished no lower than fourth since
opening night. Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., has won three of the series’
first six events and is just five points off the pace. Jeff Aikey of Waterloo has
won twice this season to boost his career leading total to 54 tour triumphs.
