IRA SEASON OPENER SET FOR THIS SATURDAY

Beaver Dam, WI   The Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprints head trackside to open their 2007 campaign this Saturday with the Rick Schmidt Memorial on the Dodge Coounty Fairgrounds Speedway half-mile in Beaver Dam, WI. The 23 lap affair in honor of Schmidt's long time number has been the traditional IRA opener since Schmidt passed. Rick Schmidt was a very well liked and respected long time driver, owner, and IRA Board of Director who was extremely influential in helping IRA grow to its' current status as one of top regional series in the country.
 
IRA's 410's are scheduled for Dodge County both this Saturday April 21st, and again next Saturday April 28th, before the series heads to Iowa's 34 Raceway for a Sunday May 6th visit. All 3 shows have early start times, with hot laps beginning at 4pm for Dodge Co.
 
Five IRA Champions representing seven titles will be competing full time with the series this season. Defending Champion Travis Whitney, two-time kings Scotty Neitzel & Kim Mock, plus John Haeni, and Donny Goeden all have serious assaults planned for the 2007 season. An IRA trademark of strong member supported car counts will be no different in 07,
as solid fields are expected all season long.
 
Joining the IRA at Dodge for both visits will be the debut of the Short Track Action Racing Series Modifieds, competing in $1000 to win, $100 to start A-mains.
 
IRA and STARS are proud to announce the participation of FRAM / AUTOLITE to their series in 07, supplying both product and financial rewards to each series.
 
The Dodge Co. IRA event will mark the first for IRA under its' new affiliation with Daytona Beach based ASA Racing.
