2024 Sportsman Spectacular Schedule

Baley Miles led the way as Music City Raceway riders showed out again at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering.

Miles finished runner-up in the Motorcycle class in both Friday’s Race of Champions and Saturday’s main event.

HOUSE SPRINGS, MO — Wesley Buchanan is the kind of grassroots, Sportsman racer which the IHRA is built upon.

The 44-year-old from Ballard County, Missouri is a hard-working man, employed by the local recycling center. He has a true passion for racing and was rewarded with a runner-up finish at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering.

WILKESBORO, NC — Wilkesboro Dragway and its racers have come through when their neighbors have been most in need.

Track operators Paul Salvatore and Cindy Meredith and the Olish family which own the track were already helping promote the “Race for Cancer” when Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on Western North Carolina, East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

Jake Howard came oh so close to sweeping the weekend in the Mod (No Box) class at the 2024 IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering.

Driving his black Trans-Am, Howard was hammer down, making the run through eliminations. After winning Friday’s Race of Champions, he came up one spot short in Saturday’s main event when he was a mere -.003 too quick at the start.

Joe Soucek Jr. had quite an interesting journey to become the Top (Box) runner-up at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering.

The 47-year old Ohio racer was in a different car than he raced last season, and this accomplishment came literally four months after he suffered a heart attack. It was a sentimental win for Soucek, who has kept his great sense of humor through both the good times and adversity.
