The countdown is on so mark your calendar for IRA's premier event of the season the 9th Annual Jerry Richert Memorial on Sept. 12, 2009 at Cedar Lake Speedway. Come out to see an action packed night of 410 and 360 sprint car racing and also pay tribute to the greatest rim rider of all time Jerry Richert Sr.
The Richert Family in conjunction with Cedar Lake Speedway and the Interstate Racing Association (IRA )are excited for this great event. The Richert Family has not only been working hard to raise bonus prize money for the race team's but to try and make this year's event bigger and more exciting and fun for race fans of all ages. So far family and friends have raised over $6,000.00 in cash and prizes making this not only the IRA's most prestigious event but also the season's highest paying race.
For the fans we will again have an autograph session so you can meet your favorite drivers along with pre- race entertainment from with local talent Russell Eldridge. The times for these events will be announced next week. There will also be a free BBQ in the pits after the races for fans and teams put on by the Richert Family & Friends.
This year's event is shaping up to be the toughest and most competitive year ever. We have had driver's express interest from many non- IRA teams that include past Jerry Richert Memorial winners, drivers that have both competed with and won World of Outlaw "A" Mains, Knoxville regulars and also the Lady Lead foot. Some of the driver's will also be doing double duty that night with a double header as they race for the UMSS 360 championship. Come out and pay tribute to the man that has gone down in history as being the master of rim riding and a legend in the sport Jerry Richert Sr. This is going to be a unique opportunity for fans to see a jam packed night full of Sprint car racing and we need you to come and show your support for sprint car racing the Upper- Midwest at its best.
Look forward to seeing you at the races.
