rebelracewriter Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 IMCA extends point season through final weekend of September VINTON, Iowa (Jan. 31) – Drivers in eight IMCA divisions will get an extra week to chase national, regional, state and local track points. The 2008 point season will now run through Sunday, Sept. 28 for Modifieds, Sprint Cars, Northern and Southern SportMods, Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks, Crate Models and Sport Compacts. The final weekend of September had originally been designated for tracks to make up season championship night programs that had been rained out or to hold season-ending special events. “We have adjusted our season-ending date for point races each of the last two seasons to accommodate tracks with late-season specials and to allow promoters and IMCA to resolve any year-end final point standing discrepancies,” explained IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root. “While a number of specials will still be on the schedule in late September, the vast majority of the tracks still racing then are doing so to fulfill their weekly point schedules.” “That, combined with the terrible weather many tracks experienced last season, justified us taking a long hard look at the season length and making the final decision to extend it one more week,” he added. No changes were made for the upcoming Late Model point season, which runs from April 25 through Aug. 24. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
