Beatrice Spring Nationals pre-registered list

Nearly 80 Modifieds already entered
for Beatrice Spring Nationals special

BEATRICE, Neb. (March 5) – IMCA Modified drivers from as far west as
Utah and as far east as Michigan will converge at Beatrice Speedway
for the March 14-16 Spring Nationals.

With more than a week to go before opening night, nearly 80 of the
open wheeled competitors from 11 states are already pre-registered
for the 15th annual special.

“We are thrilled with our pre-entry numbers. We have a goal of 100
Modifieds and all signs point that direction right now,” promoter
Toby Kruse said. “The format change has been to the liking of many
drivers and we hope to send each of them home with a little more money.”

Feature events are on tap all three nights for the Modifieds, paying
$1,000 to win on Friday, $1,500 to win on Saturday and $2,000 to win
on Saturday, making all three races qualifiers for the Fast Shafts
All-Star Invitational ballot.

All Modified drivers are guaranteed $75 a day in tow money; IMCA
national, Central Region and Smiley’s Racing Products State points
will be awarded each night.

“I think the format change from a single main event to three feature
races is extremely popular, as drivers chase early season points and
spots on the All-Star ballot,” said IMCA Vice President of Operations
Brett Root. “Spring Nationals traditionally kicks off the new season
for many racers in northern states and with Toby taking over as
promoter, I anticipate this year’s event being the start of a very
successful season at Beatrice.”

Early entries also include 24 IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, 13 IMCA Sport
Compacts and 11 Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods.

Saturday’s Northern SportMod feature pays $500 to win. The Hobby
Stock feature on Sunday also pays $500 to win.

Top prize in Sunday’s Sport Compact main event is $200.
