SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- The Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA Stock Cars will be back in action on Friday, July 23, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., as part of the 3rd Annual World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Bauer Built Tire and Hanson Tire Service.

USRA B-Mods joined the USMTS Modifieds on Wednesday but Thursday's event for the USRA Stock Cars was rained out and postponed to Friday. USRA Stock Cars share the spotlight with the USMTS on Friday with a $750 paycheck awaiting the main event winner.

Grandstand gates open at 3 p.m. and hot laps begin at 5 p.m. on Friday.

The Deer Creek Speedway sits on 60 acres of scenic rural rolling hills with one of America’s most popular state-of-the-art racing complexes and a busy modern campground. The 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval is located 11.3 miles south of I-90 (exit 209) on US 63 (0.7 mile north of SR 16). For more info, call toll-free 877-327-7223 or 507-346-2342 on race day or visit www.deercreekspeedway.com online.

Final points in the Iron Man Challenge will be determined by the best 10 finishes for USRA Stock Cars. Although a license is not required to compete in an Iron Man Challenge event, drivers must possess a valid USRA Competitor License, utilize the American Racer KK704 racing tire on all four wheels and compete in at least half of the events for their division to be eligible for points funds.

Both Iron Man Challenge champions in 2013 will earn $1,500 as part of the series points fund, plus numerous contingency awards from the many generous USRA sponsors. Each event will also award national points in the USRA Weekly Racing Series.
