Muncie Dragway operators Scott and Dawn Daniels have continually worked to upgrade the facility, like the installation of concrete walls during the offseason, as well as offer great events to their racers.

The IHRA Ironman Classic program is offered to all IHRA member tracks. Prior to this program, a Sportsman racer could only win an Ironman if they traveled to an IHRA Summit Team Finals, Sportsman Spectacular or World Finals. This program gives local tracks a chance to create extra excitement in their bracket program and offer competitors a chance to win the prestigious Ironman.

Beyond the racing, the IHRA passes on its condolences to the family of longtime Muncie Dragway competitor Hal Daugherty after succumbing to his long battle with cancer. 

His son, Shane, has carried on the family legacy, a great competitor in his own right, winner of the No Box class at the 2023 IHRA Sportsman Spectacular at Muncie and a top-five finisher in the 2023 IHRA Summit SuperSeries national standings. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Hal’s family and friends during this difficult time.
