Bonus added to Late Model winner’s share at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (April 25) – Another IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals champion gets a bigger check this September.

The winner of the Deery Brothers Summer Series feature for IMCA Late Models gets a $30 bonus for each of as many as 50 starts made at regular sanctioned weekly events this season. The Monday, Sept. 3 main event already pays $2,000 to win, so the bonus bumps first place money to as much as $3,500.

Bonuses introduced last season for five divisions will be paid again at the 30th annual Super Nationals.

For each of as many as 50 sanctioned outings, the Modified champion earns an additional $100, the Stock Car champion $50, both the Northern SportMod and the Hobby Stock champion $25 and the Sport Compact champion $5.

“This incentive, which rewards our most loyal and dedicated drivers at our biggest and most prestigious event, was met with overwhelming praise in 2011,” noted IMCA Vice President of Opera
tions Brett Root. “It’s only appropriate that we incorporate the bonus to the Late Model division as well.”

All six Super Nationals champions will receive payouts (also $2,000 for Modifieds, $1,000 for Stock Cars and Northern SportMods, $600 for Hobby Stocks and $250 for Sport Compacts) be
fore leaving Boone Speedway.

Champions' bonuses will be figured and those checks presented during the IMCA national banquet in November.

Bonuses push potential championship payouts to $7,000 for the Modifieds, $3,500 for Stock Cars, $2,250 for Northern SportMods, $1,850 for Hobby Stocks and $450 for Sport Compacts.

Total amounts paid to last year’s champions were $5,700 to Richie Gustin in the Modifieds; $2,125 to Scott Davis in the Northern SportMods, $2,000 to Sean Johnson in the Stock Cars, $1,600 to Cody Nielsen in the Hobby Stocks and $480 to Nathan Chandler in the Sport Compacts.

Super Nationals runs from Sept. 3-8.

Sunoco continues cash awards for perfect attendance in Deery Series

LINWOOD, Pa. (April 25) – Sunoco Race Fuels continues putting cash in the pocket of drivers with perfect attendance in the Deery Brothers Summer Series for a third consecutive season.

Eligible drivers who qualify for the evening’s feature will be entered in a drawing for $250 at each IMCA Late Model tour event again in 2012.

Manufacturer of the official fuel of IMCA, Sunoco will give another $2,000 in cash to be divided equally among drivers who compete at all series races. Five drivers earned $400 bonus shares last year.

Sunoco also returns as title sponsor for both the IMCA Stock Car and Hobby Stock divisions and will pay point funds for top 15 finishers in national point standings for each class.

National point fund for the Stocks is $5,000. The Hobby Stock point fund is $3,000.

"The greatest element of the Sunoco program is that it gives cash bonuses, purses and point funds back to racers in each division of the partnership,” IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder said. “Higher fuel prices are tough on racers but Sunoco values the importance of these programs to help offset those expenses. They continue to be a leader in the petroleum industry and we are proud of the lasting relationship we have developed."

All Late Model, Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers must display two Sunoco decals on their race car and compete with Sunoco race fuel or race gas to be eligible for cash awards or point fund money.

Sunoco has also renewed its sponsorship of the Stock Car Race of Champions held during the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals and will provide the $2,000 purse for that event.

2012 track champions, point leaders in attendance, and former national champions, Super Nationals champions and race winners will be eligible to qualify for the Saturday, Sept. 8 event at Boone Speedway.
