2023 REMAINING SEASON RUNDOWN
The Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprints still have several events left, September is traditionally a big scheduled month for the IRA. This Labor Day weekend the series is at the Dodge County Fairgrounds, just east of Beaver Dam, WI, for the annual running of the Harry Neitzel Tribute, joining the IRA will be the MSA 360's and Modifieds too. Saturday it's the Sheboygan County Fair race at the Plymouth Dirt Track which creates a festive fair atmosphere for the Hopf Bullring Showdown mini-series finale, and the MSA/PDTR 360 Sprints will be the support class in the all sprint car event.
Next week, Sept 8th-9th will bring back some memories, as our Superior / Cedar Lake combo is back. Friday the IRA headlines the Friday portion of Gondik Law Speedway's Northern Nationals, after a couple year absence the IRA is back by popular demand. Then Saturday it's one of IRA Crown Jewels, the Jerry Richert Memorial at the Cedar Lake Speedway.
Saturday, Sept 17th has IRA at the 141 Speedway for their first ever Saturday night show at the popular picturesque venue.
Friday Sept 29th is still listed as a TBA as it was being held for a rain date somewhere, though an announcement will be coming soon. Then on Saturday Sept 30th it's the BIG traditional season finale, the A-Main Apparel Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at the Plymouth Dirt Track featuring the Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprints, AutoMeter WI wingLESS Sprints, IRA Lightning Sprints, and MSA/PDTR 360 Sprints.
September in Wisconsin is a GREAT month for Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series! Mother Nature had been kind to the IRA for the most part this year, up til this past weekend as IRA's high touted first ever visit to I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO fell victim. Special thanks to everyone at I-55, Chris Blair and everyone at World Wide Technology Raceway for hyping us as the Official Dirt Race of the big Indy Car weekend. Also, special thanks to Brad & Jessi at 34 Raceway as heat, humidity, and pop up storms put them in a rough no-win spot for their event on Friday, 32 410's showed up and put on a nearly all green barn burner on a perfectly prepared track.
