The Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year

The Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series is extremely proud to announce their enhanced 2020 Rookie of the Year program. Washington State based Sage Fruit which provides "An Exceptional Eating Experience" is also providing new IRA 410 racers, an exceptional rookie experience.
IRA has been hungering to grow its rookie crop, and thanks to Sage Fruit, IRA can produce this tasty treat, The Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year Award. IRA's 2020 Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year will receive a $2500 check, in addition to all other point fund and contingency earnings.
Also, with thanks to Hepfner Race Products (HRP), the Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year Award just got sweeter, as The Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year will also win a new Top and nose wing courtesy of HRP.
Wow, what a Pear of prizes! How can we Top that? Well, Sage Fruit and HRP don't want to leave our 2nd place rookie unsatisfied, so the Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year program will also provide an Apple Cup to our 2nd place rookie to satisfy that appetite. The Apple Cup provides a $1250 check, plus HRP is placing a nose wing into our Apple Cup basket too. To be eligible, rookie teams must compete in at least 80% of scheduled IRA point shows, with the awards going to the top 2 in Sage Fruit Top Apple Rookie of the Year points.
Special thanks to Sage Fruit, and to our long time IRA series supporters over at Hepfner Race Products, for their generous support of open wheel racing across this great country.

Sage Fruit grows and ships a variety of Apples, Pears and Cherries from the great Northwest. Associated Wholesale Grocers of Kenosha supplies Sage Fruit Products to their independent retailers in our region. Please ask your local grocer for Sage Fruit Products.
