Donnellson, IA (Monday, June 1, 2020) – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that took all of April’s and most of May’s scheduled race events at the Pepsi Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa. Promoter’s Brian and Marcie Gaylord have announced a few schedule changes to the “Drive For 5” program for the IMCA Sunoco Late Models.

There will still be five $1,000 to win feature qualifying nights to help set the stage for a potential $5,000 IMCA Sunoco Late Model “Drive For 5” payday in mid September at the track.
Four of the qualifying nights will take place on weekly Friday night events. And those will take place on June 12th, June 26th, July 17th, and August 21st, with one qualifying night happening on Saturday, August 1st. Again each of those nights will pay $1,000 to win. Drivers who compete in at least four of those events will be eligible to run for a top prize of $5,000 on the Saturday, September 12th finale.
