IMCA extends point season through final weekend of September

From IMCA

VINTON, Iowa (Jan. 31) – Drivers in eight IMCA divisions will get an
extra week to chase national, regional, state and local track points.

The 2008 point season will now run through Sunday, Sept. 28 for
Modifieds, Sprint Cars, Northern and Southern SportMods, Stock Cars,
Hobby Stocks, Crate Models and Sport Compacts. The final weekend of
September had originally been designated for tracks to make up season
championship night programs that had been rained out or to hold
season-ending special events.

“We have adjusted our season-ending date for point races each of the
last two seasons to accommodate tracks with late-season specials and
to allow promoters and IMCA to resolve any year-end final point
standing discrepancies,” explained IMCA Vice President of Operations
Brett Root. “While a number of specials will still be on the schedule
in late September, the vast majority of the tracks still racing then
are doing so to fulfill their weekly point schedules.”

“That, combined with the terrible weather many tracks experienced
last season, justified us taking a long hard look at the season
length and making the final decision to extend it one more week,” he
added.

No changes were made for the upcoming Late Model point season, which
runs from April 25 through Aug. 24.
