Voting begins today to determine Fast Shafts All-Star field

BOONE, Iowa (July 21) – Voting begins this evening (Monday) to determine the starting field for Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational.

Three drivers from each of the five IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified regions will be elected through round one electronic polling conducted on the IMCA Facebook page through the end of the business day next Monday, July 28.

All-Star candidates will be listed by region; one vote can be cast for one driver per region each day.

Thirteen more All-Stars will be elected through round two, also via the IMCA Facebook page, between Tuesday, July 29 and Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Winners will be notified and their names announced as soon as possible after each round of voting.
The initial round of voting was to have been conducted through the IMCA website; one other change made was that all drivers not elected through the first round will be vote eligible in the second.
“Race fans vote for the drivers they most want to see in the event and genuine vote totals should reflect that,” IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root said. “Using our Facebook page for the voting process eliminates more of the possibility of manipulating those totals.”

“We want the number of ballots cast to be accurate and using Facebook is also the most interactive means to accomplish that,” he added. “The power of social media is at al all-time high and this is an excellent way for these racers to become more interactive with their fans and ‘sharing’ the ballot will help as well.”

Completing the starting grid for the Friday, Sept. 5 30-lapper will be All-Star candidates with the top national point total and the most feature wins as of Aug. 28 competing at the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.

All-Star drivers will draw for starting positions in the Fan Zone at Boone Speedway on race night. The event pays $1,000 to win, $200 to start, and is a qualifier for the 2015 ballot.
