VINTON, Iowa (Apr. 9, 2026) — NAPA Auto Parts will once again play a major role during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s, serving as the title sponsor of both the NAPA Double Down Prelude and the popular Fan Zone experience throughout the week at Boone Speedway.
NAPA’s continued support extends beyond naming rights, as the company will provide a $500 gift card to each Super Nationals champion, as well as the RaceSaver Nationals champion. In addition, first non-qualifiers across divisions will each receive $250 NAPA gift cards.
A centerpiece of NAPA’s involvement is the Fan Zone, which features a full schedule of interactive events designed to connect drivers and fans throughout the week. Activities include meet-and-greets, redraw ceremonies, group photos, and Victory Lane celebrations across all divisions, giving fans unique access to competitors from across the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Highlights include the Young Guns meet-and-greet with Junior National participants, the Women in IMCA session presented by NAPA and Dynamic Drivelines, featuring a meet-and-greet with Lady Eagle competitors from across the country, First Responders Appreciation Day, and Veteran Appreciation festivities. The Fan Zone also hosts redraws for marquee events such as the Race of Champions and both the Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational and B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational, along with Big Dance Victory Lane celebrations throughout the week.
The Prelude to the Super Nationals continues to grow as a major event in its own right. A total of 780 cars competed during last year’s NAPA Double Down Prelude weekend, showcasing the depth and popularity of IMCA competition leading into Super Nationals week.
The Super Nationals itself remains one of the largest dirt track events in the world, with over 1,100 total entries across seven Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly divisions.
“NAPA Auto Parts is proud to be a part of the IMCA Super Nationals through all our independent NAPA store owners throughout the greater Iowa area,” said Travis Olson, market sales manager for the Northern Great Plains.
NAPA Auto Parts has supported racers and fans for generations. Founded in 1925 as the National Automotive Parts Association, the company has grown into a nationwide network offering more than 800,000 unique parts through over 6,000 stores and 18,000 Auto Care centers across the United States.
