Thirty-one nights of racing are on the 2019 schedule for the Iron Man Challenge featuring American Racer USRA Stock Cars and Out-Pace USRA B-Mods.

The Iron Man Challenge will kick off the 2019 season March 21-23 at the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas, during the King of America IX Modified Nationals presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Out-Pace USRA B-Mods will join the fire-breathing USMTS Modifieds all three days.

The next event on the calendar is the Summit USRA Frost Busters—a three-day, three-track swing through three states. Action begins Thursday, March 28, at the Salina Speedway in Salina, Kansas, and then moves to the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Missouri, on Friday, March 29, before wrapping up the tripleheader on Saturday, March 30, at the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa.

American Racer USRA Stock Cars will be joined by the Cook Racing Supplies USRA Hobby Stocks on Saturday, September 14, when the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota, hosts the inaugural Stock Car Nationals. The following weekend, Out-Pace USRA B-Mods get their turn with three nights of racing during the 21st Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.

Among the 31 race nights, both classes are featured on the same program for 23 of those. Stock Cars will have two stand-alone shows and the B-Mods will have six nights to themselves.

The finale for both divisions takes place at the Hamilton County Speedway for the 6th Annual Summit USRA Nationals.
