BOONE, Iowa (July 12, 2024) – Prestige and even more money are on the line for IMCA Sunoco Stock Car drivers at the upcoming Fox Welding/Vermeer King of the Katwalks presented by VanEaton Pork next Saturday, July 20 at Boone Speedway.
The Stock Cars run for $5,000 to win and a minimum of $250 to start at the third annual special.
Total purse for the King of the Katwalks main event is $18,500 with the winner earning a guaranteed starting spot in the upcoming B & B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational.
The runner-up earns $2,500 with $2,000 paid for third, $1,500 for fourth, $1,000 for fifth, $750 for sixth, $500 for seventh, $450 for eighth, $400 for ninth, $350 for 10th and $300 for 11th. Twenty-four cars qualify with provisionals awarded to the top two non-qualifying drivers in weekly points at Boone. Tow money is $80.
There is no entry fee for the draw/redraw show and one-time mulligan draws will be $20 with that money added to the purse.
IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing National, EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region and Iowa State points, but no track points will be awarded.
King of the Katwalks will be broadcast by IMCA.TV.
“Preceding King of the Katwalks events certainly lived up to their billing, with Kaden Reynolds winning the inaugural race in 2022 and Damon Murty getting his 300th career win last year,” IMCA President Brett Root commented. “It’s great to be able to double the winner’s share of the purse and not charge an entry fee at a one-day special of this magnitude that leads up to the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.”
“And again, we can’t thank Todd VanEaton enough for his support of this purse and for helping make this a reality.”
Fox Welding and Vermeer are located in Greenfield, VanEaton Pork in Orient. Also helping sponsor King of the Katwalks are Logue Fabrication of Boone and Midwest Aviation of Cascade.
