IMRA WRAPS UP SEASON WITH SPOON RIVER DOUBLE

Canton, Illinois (October 24, 2019)………The final events of the 2019 USAC Engler IMRA Speed2 Midget season are on the horizon this weekend at Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill. with a doubleheader weekend of events, this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25-26.

Friday’s slate begins with the running of the Aaron Hull Memorial feature event along with qualifying, heat races and a pole shuffle leading into Saturday’s finale, which features a non-qualifiers event for any car that did not race Friday night and any car that didn't qualify straight to the mains.  Two 30-lap feature segments, with a break in between the two, will conclude the evening.  Saturday’s first 30-lap segment finish will determine the starting positions for the second and final 30-lap segment.

Series point leader Andy Baugh (Mason City, Ill.) has won five times this season at Spoon River with Adam Taylor (Dwight, Ill.) winning twice and Korey Weyant (Springfield, Ill.), Patrick Bruns (Champaign, Ill.) and Bryan Stanfill (Brea, Calif.) each capturing one apiece at the 3/8-mile dirt oval in 2019.

This Friday’s opening night of Monster Mash A Mania at Spoon River has the gates opening at 5pm (Central), qualifying at 7:30pm and racing to follow.  On Saturday afternoon, the pits open at noon with hot laps at 1:30pm and racing at 2pm.
