Stock Car champion Dallon Murty races into IMCA Super Nationals record book

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 11) – A straight forward strategy sent Dallon Murty straight into the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s record book. Get to the front and stay there. The 16-year, eight-month old nicknamed ‘The Game Changer’ led the last 19 laps in winning Saturday’s Stock Car main event at Boone Speedway, becoming the youngest champion – by two months – crowned in the storied history of America’s Racin’ Vacation. A record 222 Stock Cars vied at the 39th annual event. Murty earned $5,000 for the win. “Winning Super Nationals means a lot, so much that I can barely put it into words. I’m grateful for the car I’m in and the support I have behind me,” said Murty, son of 2018 champion Damon Murty. “It’s pretty cool that both of us are Super Nationals champions. It’s not something a lot of fathers and sons have done.” While other father-son combinations have won Super Nationals titles, the Murtys are the first to do it in the same division.

Last year I was second and people were telling me I was going to win it, but you never know because this is racing. But nobody can take this away now,” Laney said, after stamping ‘Mission Accomplished’ on his Super Nationals championship quest. “I remember the first times I went out to Boone Speedway just to hang out and watch the guys I had only heard about. Then I got the chance to race with them.” “Getting to do that and now getting to win Super Nationals has been pretty cool.” Tim Ward, Justin O’Brien and Zane DeVilbiss all raced to Super Nationals career-best finishes in running 2-3-4 behind him.
