Thursday, 25 May 2023

HOUSE SPRINGS, Missouri — Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the biggest weekend in motorsports with such iconic events as Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600.

Several International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) tracks will take part as well with Summit SuperSeries bracket races throughout the weekend. For the racers, it’s a great opportunity to participate in the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program with prizes and payouts to exceed $275,000 at the 2023 IHRA World Finals.

Starting in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Elk Creek Dragway has a Division 1 (Patriots) race scheduled for Saturday.
