Ideal Ready Mix, WWJ Motorsports renew Deery Series awards
WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (April 2) – Ideal Ready Mix and WWJ Motorsports have renewed a unique awards program for drivers following the Deery Brothers Summer Series.
Hard chargers at each of the 18 events in the IMCA Late Model tour receive $100 product certificates, good toward the purchase of race parts from WWJ Motorsports.
Ideal Ready Mix Ironman Challenge cash bonuses of $99 go to drivers with perfect attendance through the first 13 events who qualify for each of the final five features, the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals at Boone Speedway on Sept. 2, the Yankee Dirt Track Classic at Farley Speedway Sept. 13 and 14, at Independence Motor Speedway Sept. 20 and the Sept. 21 finale at Davenport Speedway.
The $99 dollar amount is in recognition of the car number of the late Johnny Johnson, who had owned the West Burlington-based concrete supplier as well as 34 Raceway.
Drivers receiving bonuses in 2012, the first season the premiums were paid, included champion Jeff Aikey, Ray Guss Jr., Andy Eckrich, Darrel DeFrance, Justin Kay, Joel Callahan, Jay Johnson and Mike Murphy Jr.
All eight received the maximum bonus of $495.
“This bonus is an excellent incentive to commit to the entire Deery Brothers Summer Series schedule again this year,” IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder said. “I hope we can pay out even more bonus money in 2013 and continue to honor the legacy Johnny and his family established through their support of the IMCA Late Model program.”
