Since the Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS) was formed in
September 2008, it has taken many steps toward bringing sprint car
racing back to the Twin Cities area, including a very successful
inaugural 2009 season.
The UMSS is pleased to announce the
next step for the series is to be sanctioned by the re-created IMCA
(International Motor Contest Association) sprint car program. This
partnership between the UMSS and IMCA will create the opportunity to
have consistent rules between the two groups and enable them to race
together on numerous occasions during the 2010 season.
"I am
excited for everyone involved in sprint car racing around the Twin
Cities area because I believe this is yet another step in making sprint
car racing stronger in our area," stated Ron Bernhagen of the UMSS.
"IMCA
realized they needed to redefine their sprint car program to fit in
with what is accepted and popular in today's sprint car world,"
announced Bob Allen, IMCA's national sprint car director and operator
of Arlington Raceway in Minnesota. "Signing the UMSS to be an
IMCA-sanctioned series is a great first step to bringing the IMCA
sprint car program back to prominence."
A tentative schedule of
combined UMSS and IMCA sprint car shows will be announced soon with
races at Arlington Raceway, Elko Speedway, and possibly one or two
other tracks. In the meantime, contact Ron Bernhagen at 612-363-5302
or Bob Allen at 507-327-8416.
The UMSS is a value-based
sprint car organization bringing open wheel racing back to the Twin
Cities area by establishing reasonable rules for the participant, an
economical purse structure for the race tracks, and an affordable race
ticket and fan-friendly program for the race fan.

Hopefully everyone knows that Redwood Speedway is still IMCA sanctioned in the Sprint car division.
