All roads lead to Boone for 31st annual Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa – All roads will lead to Boone Speedway for the Sept. 2-7 IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. More than 400 drivers from 22 states and Canada have already pre-registered and/or purchased pit stalls for the 31st annual version of America’s Racin’ Vacation. That’s resulted in IMCA extending the early registration deadline to Thursday, Aug. 29. “This is a good problem to have, and it seems like it’s one we ‘ve been having every year as long as I can remember,” IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root said. “I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for anyone who hasn’t pre-registered or sent in their forms for camping to do so as soon as possible. It speeds up the registration process immensely at the event and saves the racer a few bucks in the process.” Car counts at Super Nationals have topped 800 every year since 2008. New event records have been set each of the last three years, with the 874 entries in 2012 setting the latest standard. Depending [Read More]
