Spencer, Iowa – The Clay
County Fair is pleased to announce weekly IMCA Racing each Friday night
beginning May 15 at the Clay County Fair Speedway throughout the 2015 season.
“This is a tremendous
opportunity to fully utilize the Speedway,” said CCF Manager Jeremy Parsons. “Going from five races in 2014 to 14 races in 2015 will be a great benefit to
not only the Speedway, but also to all of Spencer.”
According to an
independent economic study completed earlier this year, five nights of IMCA
racing in 2013 brought nearly $77,000 in direct spending by out-of-county
drivers to Spencer. “That number will obviously exceed $200,000 by tripling the
amount of race dates,” said Parsons.
Races will be held each
Friday night May 15 through July 31; August 21; and the finale race at the Fair
on Wednesday, September 16.
The featured classes each
Friday night at the Clay County Fair Speedway will include IMCA Modifieds, Stock
Cars, Sportsmods, Hobby Stocks and Sport Compacts.
The reconstructed 3/8 mile
clay track on the Clay County Fairgrounds in Spencer known as the Clay County
Fair Speedway made its debut in 2007. The track offers increased corner banking
to adjust for the higher speeds of auto racing and a state-of-the-art lighting
system to make the races more visible for both drivers and fans.
The International Motor
Contest Association (IMCA) serves as the largest and longest running sanctioning
body in auto racing. They continue their mission of affordable,
entertaining and competitive auto racing as a sanctioning body, and are
committed to establishing and enforcing fair and consistent rules that will
strengthen and promote the racing industry.
