IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series Hits Cedar County Raceway

The two Iowa-base tours come together for one awesome night of racing.  The IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Se­ries and XSAN Hawkeye Dirt Tour both make much-anticipated returns to Cedar County Raceway next Tuesday, August 19, 2014.

IMCA Late Models run for $3,000 to win and a minimum of $300 to start while IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds contend in a $1,000 to win, minimum $150 to start feature.

The Cedar County Racewway in Tipton has always produced great side-by-side racing. Last season, eventual Deery Brothers champion Brian Harris of Davenport became the fifth different winner in as many Deery events held at Tipton since 1996.  The HDT has yet to see a repeat winner at Cedar County. Ron Barker of Dubuque won there in 2011, Milo Veloz Jr. of Colona, Ill., in 2012 and Darin Duffy of Urbana in 2013.

Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5:30 p.m. Hot laps are at 6:30 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.

Spectator admission is $20 for adults, $15 for students ages 13-18, and free for kids 12 and under when accompanying a paying adult. Pit passes are $30.

More information is available by calling 563 219-2259 and at the www.cedar-county-raceway.com web­site.

The Modified feature is a 2015 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifying event.
