Eagle Raceway opens 2008 IMCA Deery Brothers Late Model Series

From Bill Martin, IMCA

EAGLE, Neb. (Dec. 14) – Eagle Raceway hosts its first-ever visit by
the Deery Brothers Summer Series next spring, when the IMCA Sunoco
Late Model tour opens with a March 29-30 doubleheader.

“Eagle has been one of our premier tracks for sanctioned Modifieds
since 1985, adding the Hobby Stocks last year and the Sport Compacts
this season,” Series Director Kevin Yoder said. “We look forward to
giving many of our Late Model drivers who enjoy traveling to
different tracks the opportunity to race there twice next year.”

Drivers will pay a single $50 entry fee for the two shows at Eagle,
running for $1,000 to win on Saturday night and $2,000 to win in the
Sunday show.

The twinbill also marks only the second appearance by the tour in
Nebraska. I-80 Speedway at Greenwood was the site of the April 1 show
in 2005.

Eighteen dates are currently on the calendar for the IMCA Sunoco Late
Model tour in 2008. Fourteen of those races are in Iowa, two in
Illinois.

All features except the opener at Eagle and the Sept. 12-13 Pepsi USA
Nationals at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, pay $2,000 to win;
first place at the Pepsi is good for $10,000.

“We’ve got a good mix of stops at traditional tour tracks and first-
time visits to Eagle and later in the sum mer at Algona (Iowa)
Raceway,” said Yoder. “We’re also looking forward to returning to
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa for the first time since 2003. I
think the schedule is very driver friendly and I expect the 22nd
annual series to be extremely competitive.”

Jeremy Grady of Story City, Iowa, is the defending series champion.
