For some, the IHRA Summit Team Finals are even a bigger thrill. At these events, racers from their tracks bond together as a team as they compete both for individual and team titles. It’s a great opportunity to build camaraderie between the track operators and their racers.
Tracks which have signed sanctioning agreements with the IHRA over the last year are also finding out how great the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program can be for their racers. The overall purse and prize packages at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals valued at over $275,000.
Through the IHRA’s social media channels and other outlets, these weekly winners are also being recognized for their achievements. Here are some of the tracks and race winners highlighted over the last week, including three venues which are in their first year back as IHRA-member tracks.
I-22 Motorsports Park in Alabama was featured with Brandon Anthony (Pro), Billy Parker (Footbrake) and Brittany Parker (Junior Dragster) race winners. English Mountain Raceway in Tennessee sent in photos of winners Cody Spears (Box), Kevin Marrisett (No Box) and Brandon Nuttall (Junior Dragster).
