Two drivers from each region will be chosen to compete in the All Star Invitational at the IMCA Super Nationals. Those two will only be chosen from the list of drivers that have won a Fast Shaft All Star Invitational Qualifying Race.

And did you get that? You will get five chances to do that at Boyd Raceway this season! Two drivers from the IMCA ButlerBuilt South Central Region are guaranteed a starting spot in that race! Will you be one of them? Boyd is the only track in the area to provide drivers the chance to qualify in five events throughout the year.

In addition, there will be no entry fee for this race! Teams will be required to register their cars, but that registration will be good for all five races as well as regular race nights.

Boyd is one of the few tracks in the area that uses transponders in an effort to provide the most accurate method available for scoring. Competitors will be required to either purchase or rent one in order to race.

The $1000 purse was made possible by sponsor participation and will only affect the payout for the winner of that race. Second place on down will be the regular weekly payout.

Track Promoter and IMCA ButlerBuilt South Central Region Director, Davey Plato, has reconfigured Boyd Raceway to a dirt track engineers specifications and it is expected to be even better than it was! Boyd already has the reputation of providing some of the best multi-groove racing in the area. The changes are designed to transfer the energy from the car to the track in such a way as to help prevent surface damage in the corners, allowing for a smoother entry and exit from the turns. Twenty some odd truck loads of fresh black clay have been added to the track in preparation for the 2009 racing season along with the addition of more track preparation equipment.

The Platos are working hard to make improvements to Boyd Raceway that will take it to the next level in 2009! Look for more info on special events as it becomes available!
