VINTON, Iowa – Super Tuesday voting will be Aug. 11 to elect 28 of the 30 drivers who will start the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational during the upcoming IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.

SUTTON, Neb. (Aug. 9, 2023) – Give Al Walters credit for a super idea leading up to the Sept. 4-9 IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. The sales manager at Friesen Performance has come up with the single richest slate of awards for competitors at the 41st annual Super Nationals, as the Sutton, Neb., race shop gives a staggering total of $63,000 in product certificates to drivers in divisions with the crate engine option. The 24 Northern SportMod and 24 Hobby Stock drivers advancing to their respective Saturday night main events from qualifying features, plus six ‘wild card’ recipients chosen at random each receive $500 certificates, good toward the purchase of a 602 crate engine from Friesen’s. And the 24 Modified drivers advancing to their Big Dance from qualifying features, six drivers in the Late Model main and another six ‘wild card’ drivers each get $1,000 certificates, which can be applied when purchasing a 604 crate. “We’ve been doing something like this with individual IMCA tracks and promoters on a much smaller scale,” explained [Read More]
